Swiss Caselaw MCP server

What it does

Swiss Caselaw exposes over 1 million Swiss court decisions, federal and cantonal legislation, and a citation graph across all 26 cantons in German, French, and Italian. It serves legal researchers, developers building legal AI systems, and anyone needing free access to Swiss case law and statutes.

• Search Swiss court decisions by keyword or statute to find relevant case law and trace how courts have interpreted specific legal provisions.
• Verify and resolve citations in legal documents using the CLI to check whether case references and statute articles exist and retrieve their text.
• Query Swiss case law and legislation directly from Claude or other AI assistants by connecting the MCP server without authentication or API keys.

Before you enable it

An MCP server runs with whatever access you give it. Start with a development account rather than production, and check which tools the server exposes before you let an agent call them unattended.
