Details
From the project README
AI Rechtshulp MCP server
Search Dutch and EU case law with ECLI sources and verify quotes against the judgment.
Remote MCP server: https://app.ai-rechtshulp.nl/mcp (Streamable HTTP) · Website: ai-rechtshulp.nl
What it does
AI Rechtshulp searches published Dutch case law (rechtspraak.nl) and EU case law and returns source passages with their ECLI reference. It can check whether a quote really appears in a judgment, which helps against made-up citations. With an account you save sources, build dossiers, write research memos and scan a contract for risky clauses.
A found source or quote is not a legal conclusion. The tools return sources, not legal advice.
Connect
- Server URL:
https://app.ai-rechtshulp.nl/mcp - Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Authentication: OAuth with PKCE (S256), dynamic client registration and client ID metadata documents, so MCP clients connect without manual setup. Without an account the server answers a fixed demo only.
Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the server URL.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http ai-rechtshulp https://app.ai-rechtshulp.nl/mcp

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.
