    "ansvar-systems-swedish-law-mcp": {

You can query Swedish statutes and EU cross-references directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client using the Swedish Law MCP Server. It makes extensive Swedish law searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable, enabling precise provisions, up-to-date status checks, and linked preparatory works for efficient legal research and compliance tooling.

How to use

Connect your MCP client to the Swedish Law MCP Server to search 717 statutes, retrieve exact provisions, and explore EU cross-references. Use natural-language queries to locate specific provisions, check if a statute is still in force, access preparatory works, and retrieve related EU directives and regulations. Use the furnished tools to validate citations, aggregate legal materials, and format citations for Swedish legal conventions.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: Node.js (npm) for server setup and running command-line MCP clients. Ensure you have internet access to pull dependencies.
