Slovenian Law MCP Server

The Uradni list RS (Pravno-informacijski sistem) alternative for the AI age.

Query 40 Slovenian statutes -- from ZVOP-2 (Zakon o varstvu osebnih podatkov) and Kazenski zakonik to Obligacijski zakonik, Zakon o elektronskih komunikacijah, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden

Why This Exists

Slovenian legal research means navigating PISRS (Pravno-informacijski sistem Republike Slovenije) and the Uradni list RS, cross-referencing between Zakoni, Pravilniki, and Uredbe, and manually tracking EU transpositions. Whether you're:

• A lawyer validating citations in a brief or contract
• A compliance officer checking ZVOP-2 obligations or NIS2 requirements
• A legal tech developer building tools on Slovenian law
• A researcher tracing EU directives through to Slovenian implementation

...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 Slovenian law searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable.

Why This Works

Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):

• All statute text is ingested from PISRS (Pravno-informacijski sistem RS) official sources
• Provisions are returned unchanged from SQLite FTS5 database rows
• Zero LLM summarization or paraphrasing -- the database contains regulation text, not AI interpretations

Smart Context Management:

• Search returns ranked provisions with BM25 scoring (safe for context)
• Provision retrieval gives exact text by zakon identifier + člen/odstavek
• Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once

Technical Architecture:

pisrs.si API → Parse → SQLite → FTS5 snippet() → MCP response
                 ↑                      ↑
          Provision parser       Verbatim database query

Traditional Research vs. This MCP

Traditional Approach	This MCP Server
Search PISRS by zakon name	Search by plain Slovenian: "varstvo osebnih podatkov"
Navigate multi-člen statutes manually	Get the exact provision with context
Manual cross-referencing between zakoni	build_legal_stance aggregates across sources
"Je ta zakon še v veljavi?" → manual check	check_currency tool → answer in seconds
Find EU basis → dig through EUR-Lex	get_eu_basis → linked EU directives instantly
Check PISRS for updates	Daily automated freshness checks
No API, no integration	MCP protocol → AI-native

Traditional: Search PISRS → Download PDF → Ctrl+F → Cross-reference with predlog zakona → Check EUR-Lex → Repeat

This MCP: "Kateri člen ZVOP-2 ureja privolitev in katera EU direktiva je osnova?" → Done.

Important Disclaimers

Legal Advice

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Statute text is sourced from official PISRS publications. However:

• This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
• Coverage is currently limited to 40 core statutes -- verify whether your statute is included before relying on this for research
• Court case coverage is not included in the current release -- do not rely on this for case law research
• Verify critical citations against primary sources (pisrs.si) for court filings
• EU cross-references are extracted from Slovenian statute text, not EUR-Lex full text

Before using professionally, read: DISCLAIMER.md | PRIVACY.md

Client Confidentiality

Queries go through the Claude API. For privileged or confidential matters, use on-premise deployment. See PRIVACY.md for Odvetniška zbornica Slovenije compliance guidance.
