Liechtenstein Law MCP Server

The liechtensteinisches-landesgesetzblatt.li alternative for the AI age.

npm version MCP Registry License GitHub stars CI Daily Data Check Database Provisions

Query 3,614 Liechtenstein statutes -- from the Datenschutzgesetz and Personen- und Gesellschaftsrecht to the Strafgesetzbuch, E-Commerce-Gesetz, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden


Why This Exists

Liechtenstein legal research means navigating gesetze.li, the LLGBl (Liechtensteinisches Landesgesetzblatt) publications, and cross-referencing EEA Agreement annexes. Whether you're:

  • A lawyer validating citations in a brief or contract
  • A compliance officer checking EEA-derived obligations under Liechtenstein law
  • A legal tech developer building tools on Liechtenstein law
  • A researcher tracing EEA implementation across Liechtenstein statutes

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

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

  • "Ist das Personen- und Gesellschaftsrecht (PGR) noch in Kraft?"
  • "Suche nach Bestimmungen über 'Datenschutz' im liechtensteinischen Recht"
  • "Welche EU-Richtlinien setzt Liechtenstein über das EWR-Abkommen um?"
  • "Was regelt das Strafgesetzbuch zum Thema Cyberkriminalität?"

See It In Action

Why This Works

Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):

  • All statute text is ingested from gesetze.li (official Liechtenstein legal database)
  • Provisions are returned unchanged from SQLite FTS5 database rows
  • Zero LLM summarization or paraphrasing -- the database contains statute text, not AI interpretations

Smart Context Management:

  • Search returns ranked provisions with BM25 scoring (safe for context)
  • Provision retrieval gives exact text by statute identifier and article number
  • Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once

Technical Architecture:

text
gesetze.li / LLGBl --> Parse --> SQLite --> FTS5 snippet() --> MCP response
                         ^                        ^
                  Provision parser         Verbatim database query

Traditional Research vs. This MCP

Traditional ApproachThis MCP Server
Search gesetze.li by statute nameSearch by plain German: "Datenschutz Einwilligung"
Navigate multi-article statutes manuallyGet the exact provision with context
Manual cross-referencing between statutesbuild_legal_stance aggregates across sources
"Ist dieses Gesetz noch in Kraft?" -- manuell prüfencheck_currency tool -- answer in seconds
Find EEA basis -- dig through EEA Agreement annexesget_eu_basis -- linked EU directives instantly
No API, no integrationMCP protocol -- AI-native

Traditional: gesetze.li suchen --> PDF herunterladen --> Strg+F --> EWR-Anhänge prüfen --> Wiederholen

This MCP: "Welche DSGVO-Anforderungen setzt das liechtensteinische DSG um?" --> Done.

EU/EEA Law Integration

Liechtenstein is a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) via the EEA Agreement, which means it implements the core EU Single Market legislation without being an EU member state.

TopicStatus
EEA MembershipFull EEA member since 1995
GDPR EquivalentLiechtenstein implemented GDPR via Datenschutzgesetz (DSG) -- full EEA-equivalent data protection
EU Single Market DirectivesImplemented via EEA Joint Committee Decisions (Annex IX and others)
Schengen AreaLiechtenstein is part of Schengen -- border-free travel and associated legislation

Liechtenstein implements EU law via the EEA Agreement, including the GDPR equivalent, product liability directives, financial services regulations, and consumer protection rules. The EU bridge tools let you trace which Liechtenstein statutes implement which EU acts, and verify EEA compliance.

Note: Not all EU law applies to Liechtenstein. EEA coverage excludes Common Foreign and Security Policy, justice and home affairs (with exceptions), and other non-Single Market areas. The EU tools reflect EEA-relevant instruments.

Important Disclaimers

Legal Advice

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Statute text is sourced from gesetze.li (official Liechtenstein legal database). However:

  • This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
  • Court case coverage is not included -- do not rely solely on this for case law research
  • Verify critical citations against primary sources (LLGBl) for court filings
  • EEA cross-references reflect implementation relationships, not direct EU law applicability
