MCP support
It exposes offline EU-law search, article retrieval, comparison, applicability, and evidence tools to MCP clients. Results include citations with CELEX IDs and EUR-Lex URLs; the corpus is a snapshot, not a live source.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEmcp-eu-compliance
MCP server exposing an offline corpus of EU law (EUR-Lex, full text) in local SQLite FTS5, with compliance tools. Snippets returned verbatim from the database (zero-LLM) - each with a CELEX id and EUR-Lex URL. Anti-hallucination by mechanism, not by trust in the model.
Scope (14 regulations, digital/data/cyber): GDPR, AI Act, DORA, NIS2, eIDAS 2.0, CRA, DSA, DMA, Data Act, DGA, LED, ePrivacy, Cybersecurity Act, CER.
Complementary to mcp-eu-sparql: that one discovers acts live (SPARQL Cellar), this one provides verbatim text + offline compliance analysis (no network at runtime).
Installation
npm install # Node 22.5+ (node:sqlite built-in)
npm run fetch-corpus # downloads regulations.db (~36 MB) from Ansvar (Apache-2.0)
npm run build
npm start
Configuration in the MCP client (e.g. mcp-servers.json):
{
"name": "eu-compliance",
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/mcp-eu-compliance/dist/index.js"]
}
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
eu_search(query, regulations?, limit?) | Full-text (FTS5) across articles, verbatim snippets. |
eu_article(regulation, article_number) | Full article text + title + chapter + CELEX. |
eu_compare(query, regulations?) | The same topic across several regulations at once (e.g. incident reporting DORA vs NIS2 vs CRA). |
eu_check_applicability(sector, subsector?) | Which of the 14 regulations apply to a sector, with confidence level and basis article. |
eu_evidence(regulation, article?) | Evidence artifacts (audit) - which document/log/certificate proves compliance. |
Each tool returns structuredContent.citations (regulation, CELEX, EUR-Lex URL, snapshot).
Examples
- "Compare incident reporting timelines across DORA, NIS2, and CRA" ->
eu_compare - "What does GDPR Article 33 require?" ->
eu_article - "Which EU regulations apply to a bank?" ->
eu_check_applicability(sector=financial, subsector=bank) - "What audit evidence does DORA Article 17 require?" ->
eu_evidence
Disclaimers
- Snapshot, not the authentic source. The authentic version = Official Journal of the EU. The connector returns a point-in-time snapshot; verify currency in EUR-Lex (CELEX). Freshness ->
mcp-eu-sparql(live). - Applicability rules are expert guidance, not a binding legal assessment. Sector-specific realities may require your own analysis.
- Reference material, not legal advice.

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.
