🏛️ swiss-courts-mcp

MCP Server for Swiss court decisions — Federal Supreme Court (BGer), Federal Administrative Court (BVGer), Federal Criminal Court (BStGer), and all 26 cantonal courts via entscheidsuche.ch

Deutsche Version

Overview

Access Swiss court decisions from all judicial levels through a single MCP interface. Combines full-text search with structured filters for canton, court level, date range, and law references.

🎯 Anchor demo query: "Find Federal Supreme Court case law on data protection (Art. 25 DSG) since 2020 — and if entscheidsuche.ch is down, still answer from the offline dump, clearly flagged."

Synergy with fedlex-mcp: Legislation (SR) + case law = complete legal research.

Availability: entscheidsuche.ch is non-profit infrastructure without an SLA. When it is unreachable, the server transparently falls back to a cached public dump (see Offline fallback). Every response declares its origin (source: "live" | "dump"), and dump answers carry a coveragenote — the fallback is partial, not equivalent**.

Features

  • Full-text search across all Swiss court decisions
  • Multi-stage law reference search with regex parser and Elasticsearch boost scoring
  • Dedicated Federal Supreme Court search with chamber filter
  • Canton and court level filtering
  • Recent decisions feed
  • Court taxonomy listing
  • Decision statistics with aggregations
  • Trilingual support (German, French, Italian)
  • Offline fallback to a cached public dump when entscheidsuche.ch is unreachable — with explicit provenance on every response
  • No API key required

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.11 or higher
  • An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)

Installation

pip install swiss-courts-mcp

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/malkreide/swiss-courts-mcp.git
cd swiss-courts-mcp
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quickstart

# Run directly
swiss-courts-mcp

# Or via Python module
python -m swiss_courts_mcp

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add to your claudedesktopconfig.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "swiss-courts": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "swiss_courts_mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cloud Deployment (HTTP transport)

The HTTP transport is off by default. The default bind host is 127.0.0.1 (loopback only) — 0.0.0.0 must be opted into explicitly (the Dockerfile does this). Running HTTP without authentication logs a warning; only do so behind an authenticating reverse proxy.

# Local HTTP (loopback), no auth — development only
swiss-courts-mcp --http --port 8000
