Query **1,602 Estonian statutes** — from the Isikuandmete kaitse seadus (IKS) and the Karistusseadustik to the Tsiviilseadustiku üldosa seadus, Küberturvalisuse seadus, and more — directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

## Why This Exists

Estonian legal research is concentrated in the Riigi Teataja — Estonia's model e-governance platform — but navigating 1,602 seadused across Estonian and cross-referencing with EUR-Lex remains manual work. Whether you're:
- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or leping
- A **compliance officer** checking obligations under IKS or the Küberturvalisuse seadus
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Estonian law
- A **researcher** tracing legislative history from eelnõu to seadus

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

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