What the publisher says

From the Rechtspraak (Dutch Case Law) repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

rechtspraak-mcp

A Model Context Protocol server for Dutch case law (jurisprudentie / uitspraken). It wraps the official Open Data van de Rechtspraak API and the LiDO citation graph, so any MCP-capable agent (Claude, Cursor, …) can search rulings, fetch full text by ECLI, and explore how decisions cite each other.

No API key required.

npx rechtspraak-mcp

Tools

Search

searchuitspraken is a faceted search over the official Open Data feed — filter by date, court (instantie), legal area (rechtsgebied) and document type. It does not do free-text keyword matching; pass an ECLI to query for a direct lookup, or use the facet filters. getuitspraak fetches the full text and metadata from the documented Open Data content endpoint.

Install in an MCP client

Claude Code (or any client reading claudedesktopconfig.json / .mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rechtspraak": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "rechtspraak-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
claude mcp add rechtspraak -- npx -y rechtspraak-mcp

Citations & source links

Every result carries links for its ECLI:

  • links.deeplink — the citation-stable deeplink.rechtspraak.nl URL,
  • links.rechtspraak — the human detail page,
  • links.prudai — a PrudAI viewer for the ruling.

When an agent quotes a passage, the tools instruct it to render the citation as a Markdown source link anchored on the exact excerpt:
