Stop your AI making up case law.
openlaw-mcp connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Codex to real UK and EU law — case law, legislation, FCA, ICO, HMRC, EUR-Lex and ECHR — so every answer comes with a source you can click through and verify.
https://openlawmcp.legalaispace.com/v1/mcpFor research and information only. Not legal advice — always verify against the source URL.
Quote subsection (1) of section 1 of the UK Bribery Act 2010 verbatim.
Verifiable answers, not best guesses.
openlaw-mcp doesn't try to "know" the law. It fetches the real text from official sources and returns it with a working link, so you can check every answer the way you'd check a colleague's.
Real citations, every time
Every answer carries the source URL, the licence and a content hash. No more wondering whether the citation exists.
The sources lawyers trust
Find Case Law, legislation.gov.uk, FCA Handbook, ICO, HMRC, EUR-Lex and the European Court of Human Rights — in one server.
Point-in-time legislation
Ask what a UK statute said on a specific date — the day GDPR came in, the day a contract was signed, today. Other tools can't.
Free. No signup. Yours to keep.
No API key, no waitlist, no telemetry on your queries. Use the hosted endpoint, npx it, or self-host the open-source code.
Generic AI invents case law. openlaw-mcp doesn't let it.
Ask any chatbot to quote a UK statute and you'll often get a convincing fabrication — wrong section, wrong court, sometimes a case that never existed. Give that same model openlaw-mcp and the answer comes back from legislation.gov.uk, verbatim, with a link.
