Polish Law MCP Server

▶ Try this MCP instantly via Ansvar Gateway

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 ISAP (Internetowy System Aktów Prawnych) alternative for the AI age.

Query 8,943 Polish statutes -- from Ustawa o ochronie danych osobowych (UODO/RODO) and Kodeks karny to Kodeks cywilny, Kodeks spółek handlowych, Kodeks pracy, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

If you're building legal tech, compliance tools, or doing Polish legal research, this is your verified reference database.

Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden

Why This Exists

Polish legal research means navigating ISAP (Sejm), the Dziennik Ustaw, and EUR-Lex, then manually reconciling between national statutes and EU directives. Whether you're:

A lawyer validating citations in a brief or contract
A compliance officer checking UODO (RODO) obligations or KSC requirements
A legal tech developer building tools on Polish law
A researcher tracing legislative provisions published in Dziennik Ustaw from 1918 to 2026

...you shouldn't need dozens of browser tabs and manual cross-referencing. Ask Claude. Get the exact provision. With context.

This MCP server makes Polish law searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable.

Example Queries

Once connected, just ask naturally:

"Co mówi art. 5 Ustawy o ochronie danych osobowych (UODO) o zasadach przetwarzania danych?"
"Wyszukaj 'ochrona danych osobowych' w polskim prawie (UODO/RODO)"
"Jakie przepisy Kodeksu karnego dotyczą przestępstw komputerowych?"
"Znajdź artykuły o wypowiedzeniu umowy o pracę w Kodeksie pracy"
"What EU directives does the Polish Ustawa o krajowym systemie cyberbezpieczeństwa (KSC) implement?"
"Which Polish laws implement the NIS2 Directive?"
"Sprawdź, czy Ustawa Dz.U. 2018 poz. 1000 jest nadal w mocy"
"Wyszukaj 'odpowiedzialność cywilna' w Kodeksie cywilnym"
"Compare NIS2 incident reporting requirements with the Polish KSC transposition"
"Znajdź orzeczenia sądowe dotyczące RODO z 2023 roku (premium)"

See It In Action

Why This Works

Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):

All statute text is ingested from the Sejm ELI API (api.sejm.gov.pl) covering all Dziennik Ustaw publications
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 Dz.U. year/position + article number
Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once

Technical Architecture:

Sejm ELI API (api.sejm.gov.pl) --> Parse --> SQLite --> FTS5 snippet() --> MCP response
                                     ^                        ^
                              Provision parser         Verbatim database query

Traditional Research vs. This MCP

Traditional Approach	This MCP Server
Search ISAP by act name	Search by plain Polish: "ochrona danych osobowych"
Navigate multi-chapter acts manually	Get the exact provision with context
Manual cross-referencing between acts	`build_legal_stance` aggregates across sources
"Czy ta ustawa jest w mocy?" -> check manually	`check_currency` tool -> answer in seconds
Find EU basis -> dig through EUR-Lex	`get_eu_basis` -> linked EU directives instantly
Check ISAP, Dziennik Ustaw, EUR-Lex separately	Daily automated freshness checks
No API, no integration	MCP protocol -> AI-native

Traditional: Search ISAP -> Download PDF -> Ctrl+F -> Cross-reference with RODO -> Check EUR-Lex -> Repeat

This MCP: "Jakie unijne przepisy stanowią podstawę art. 22 UODO o zautomatyzowanym podejmowaniu decyzji?" -> Done.

Important Disclaimers

Legal Advice

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Statute text is sourced from official Sejm ELI API (Dziennik Ustaw) publications. However:

This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel

Court case coverage is limited (premium tier) -- do not rely solely on this for case law research

Verify critical citations against primary sources for court filings

EU cross-references are extracted from Polish statute text, not EUR-Lex full text

Regulatory guidance (UODO decisions) has limited coverage in the free tier

Before using professionally, read: DISCLAIMER.md | PRIVACY.md

Client Confidentiality

Queries go through the Claude API. For privileged or confidential matters, use on-premise deployment. For guidance on professional obligations, consult the Naczelna Rada Adwokacka (Polish Bar Council). See PRIVACY.md for compliance guidance.

Data Licenses

Ansvar attribution code: PL-Statutory-PD. Basis: Ustawa o prawie autorskim Art. 4 — Polish statutory-PD carve-out for legislative and administrative acts.

Statutes & Legislation: Kancelaria Sejmu RP — ISAP. Public domain under Art. 4 of the Polish Copyright Act, covering ustawy, rozporządzenia, obwieszczenia, and other legislative/administrative acts.
EU Metadata: EUR-Lex (EU public-domain notice).

Coverage scope (narrow carve-out)

Art. 4 of the Polish Copyright Act is NARROW — it does not enumerate court decisions.

IN-SCOPE under Art. 4: statutes (ustawy), drafts, regulations (rozporządzenia), administrative acts, official notices.
OUT-OF-SCOPE under Art. 4: court decisions. These require a separate basis:
- Civil judgments: K.p.c. Art. 9 (Code of Civil Procedure).
- Criminal judgments: K.p.k. Art. 100 (Code of Criminal Procedure).
Why this matters: This MCP ships the statute tier from ISAP under Art. 4. A case-law tier would require a separate licensing declaration.

See docs/audits/2026-05-17-eu-copyright-statutory-works-batch-4-LV-LT-PL.md in the Ansvar architecture-documentation repo for the verbatim Art. 4 text and the coverage analysis.

About Ansvar Systems

We build AI-accelerated compliance and legal research tools for the European market. This MCP server started as our internal reference tool for Polish law -- turns out everyone building for the Polish and EU markets has the same research frustrations.

So we're open-sourcing it. Navigating 8,943 acts in the Dziennik Ustaw shouldn't require a law degree.
