Query **62,764 Danish laws** -- from Databeskyttelsesloven and Straffeloven to Selskabsloven, Forvaltningsloven, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

Built by [Ansvar Systems](https://ansvar.eu) -- Stockholm, Sweden

---

## Why This Exists

Danish legal research means navigating retsinformation.dk, cross-referencing between lovbekendtgørelser (consolidated laws), forslag (bills), betænkninger (committee reports), and EUR-Lex. Whether you're:

- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking Databeskyttelsesloven obligations or GDPR alignment
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Danish law
- A **researcher** tracing legislative history from lovforslag to enacted statute

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

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

## Quick Start

### Use Remotely (No Install Needed)

> Connect directly to the hosted version -- zero dependencies, nothing to install.

**Endpoint:** `https://danish-law-mcp.fly.dev/mcp`

> **Note:** This server is hosted on Fly.io rather than Vercel because the database (1.6 GB) exceeds Vercel's 50 MB deployment limit. The endpoint is otherwise identical in behaviour to other Ansvar Law MCP servers.
