50 free queries/day · no card required · OAuth signup at ansvar.eu/gateway
One endpoint, one OAuth signup, access from any MCP-compatible client.
Connect
Claude Code (one line):
claude mcp add ansvar --transport http https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp
Claude Desktop / Cursor — add to claude_desktop_config.json (or mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ansvar": {
"type": "url",
"url": "https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp"
}
}
}
Claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp
First request opens an OAuth flow at ansvar.eu/gateway. After signup, your client is bound to your account; tier (free / premium / team / company) determines fan-out, quota, and which downstream MCPs are reachable.
Self-host this MCP
You can also clone this repo and build the corpus yourself. The schema, fetcher, and tool implementations all live here. What is not in the repo is the pre-built database — TDM and standards-licensing constraints on the upstream sources mean we host the corpus on Ansvar infrastructure rather than redistribute it as a public artifact.
Build your own: run this repo's ingestion script (entry-point varies per
repo — typically scripts/ingest.sh, npm run ingest, or make ingest;
check the repo root).
The SLOV-LEX alternative for the AI age.
Query 25,609 Slovak statutes — from zákon č. 18/2018 Z.z. (ochrana osobných údajov) and the Trestný zákon to the Občiansky zákonník, zákon o kybernetickej bezpečnosti, and more — directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
If you're building legal tech, compliance tools, or doing Slovak legal research, this is your verified reference database.
Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden
Why This Exists
Slovak legal research is scattered across SLOV-LEX, zbierka.sk, EUR-Lex, and government ministerial portals. Whether you're:
- A lawyer validating citations in a brief or zmluva
- A compliance officer checking obligations under zákon č. 18/2018 Z.z. or zákon č. 69/2018 Z.z.
- A legal tech developer building tools on Slovak law
- A researcher tracing legislative history from dôvodová správa to zákon
...you shouldn't need a dozen browser tabs and manual PDF cross-referencing. Ask Claude. Get the exact provision. With context.
This MCP server makes Slovak law searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable.
Example Queries
Once connected, just ask naturally (dotazy fungujú v slovenčine alebo angličtine):

Verified data only — every citation is validated against official sources (SLOV-LEX / zbierka.sk). Zero LLM-generated content.
Why This Works
Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):
- All statute text is ingested from SLOV-LEX (slov-lex.sk) official sources
- Provisions are returned unchanged from SQLite FTS5 database rows
- Zero LLM summarization or paraphrasing — the database contains regulation text, not AI interpretations
Smart Context Management:
- Search returns ranked provisions with BM25 scoring (safe for context)
- Provision retrieval gives exact text by zákon number + paragraph
- Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once
Technical Architecture:

Traditional Research vs. This MCP
| Traditional Approach | This MCP Server |
|---|---|
| Search SLOV-LEX by číslo zákona | Search by plain Slovak: "ochrana osobných údajov súhlas" |
| Navigate multi-chapter statutes manually | Get the exact provision with context |
| Manual cross-referencing between zákony | build_legal_stance aggregates across sources |
| "Je tento zákon platný?" → check manually | check_currency tool → answer in seconds |
| Find EU basis → dig through EUR-Lex | get_eu_basis → linked EU directives instantly |
| No API, no integration | MCP protocol → AI-native |
Traditional: Search SLOV-LEX → Download PDF → Ctrl+F → Cross-reference with EUR-Lex → Check Úrad na ochranu osobných údajov → Repeat
This MCP: "Aký je európsky základ § 13 zákona č. 18/2018 Z.z. o ochrane osobných údajov?" → Done.

Important Disclaimers
Legal Advice
THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE
Statute text is sourced from official SLOV-LEX publications. However:
- This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
- Court case coverage is not included in the free tier — do not rely solely on this for judikatúra research
- Verify critical citations against primary sources (SLOV-LEX, Zbierka zákonov) for court filings
- EU cross-references are extracted from statute text and EUR-Lex metadata, not a complete implementation mapping
