Query **Italian legislation** -- covering data protection, cybersecurity, corporate law, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

---

## Why This Exists

Italian legal research is scattered across official government databases, commercial legal platforms, and institutional archives. Whether you're:
- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking if a statute is still in force
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Italian law
- A **researcher** tracing legislative history

...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 Italian law **searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable**.
