MCP support
A remote MCP server offering scoped `search`, `get_provision`, `get_decision`, and `list_coverage` tools. It connects through OAuth 2.1.

From the project READMEAnsvar Gateway
EU regulatory intelligence over MCP — law, regulations, standards & threat intel, every answer cited or refused.
Ansvar Gateway is a remote MCP server for compliance, legal, and security work. One OAuth connection gives your agent scoped search and get_provision across audited law corpora — Europe-led, with growing North American and APAC coverage; the live, licence-audited jurisdiction list is at ansvar.eu/coverage — plus the EU regulations corpus (GDPR, NIS2, DORA, AI Act, CRA, …), the security-frameworks corpus, and live CVE/KEV/EPSS intelligence.
Every result carries a source citation (_citation: URL, publisher, licence) — answers are cited from fetched text or explicitly refused, never guessed from model memory. Paid tiers add full-fleet fan-out, case law / preparatory works / agency guidance, and structured workflows (DPIA, STRIDE/LINDDUN, gap analysis) that return exportable deliverables.

What your agent can do
searchlegislation, regulations, standards and threat intel across jurisdictions — results return matching provisions with article-level citations, not paraphrases.get_provision/get_decision— resolve a canonical reference to the exact provision or court decision text.list_coverage— discover what corpora and jurisdictions are live, by domain.- Premium tiers: automatic case-law / preparatory-works fan-out inside
search, agency guidance, and workflow prompts that produce finished, cited deliverables (DPIA, threat model, gap analysis).
Trust properties
- Accuracy over availability: if a source is unreachable, the gateway returns a data-source-unavailable error — it never answers from model memory.
- Per-item attribution: every served row carries source URL, publisher, and licence; content with unresolved licensing is withheld with an explicit notice, not silently dropped.
- EU-hosted (Hetzner, Germany/Finland), no server-side model, no tracking. Operated by Ansvar Systems AB (Sweden, org.nr 559547-2225).

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
