Search Icelandic statutes (lög) and regulations by keyword.

Searches provision text using FTS5 full-text search with BM25 ranking. Supports boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT), phrase search ("exact phrase"), and prefix matching (term*).

Returns matched provisions with snippets, relevance scores, and document metadata. Icelandic law numbers use the format number/year (e.g., "90/2018" for Persónuverndarlög).

When NOT to use: If you already know the exact law number and provision, use get_provision instead.

Retrieve a specific provision (grein) from an Icelandic statute.

Specify the law number and either section or provision_ref directly. Icelandic statutes identify provisions by article number (grein, abbreviated "gr.").

Examples:

• document_id="33/1944", section="1" → 1. gr. Stjórnarskrá (Constitution Art. 1)

• document_id="90/2018", section="14" → 14. gr. Persónuverndarlög

• document_id="90/2018", provision_ref="14" → same result

Omit section/provision_ref to retrieve all provisions in the statute.

Search Icelandic court decisions (dómar).

Searches case summaries and keywords from Icelandic courts. Filter by court and date range. Court codes: Hæstiréttur (Supreme Court) = "HRD", Landsréttur (Court of Appeals) = "LR".

Note: Case law coverage depends on the database tier. The free community tier may have limited case law.

Get preparatory works (löggjafarsaga) for an Icelandic statute.

Returns linked parliamentary documents — bills (frumvörp), committee reports (nefndarálit), and debate records (þingfundur) — with summaries. Essential for understanding legislative intent behind statutory provisions.

Validate an Icelandic legal citation against the database.

Parses the citation, checks that the document and provision exist, and returns warnings about status (repealed, amended). This is the zero-hallucination enforcer — never generates citations, only validates against verified data.

Supported Icelandic citation formats:

• "L. nr. 90/2018" (full statute reference)

• "90/2018 14. gr." (statute with article)

• "33/1944" (Constitution by law number)

• "HRD 2020 bls. 1234" (Supreme Court decision)

Also supports legacy Nordic formats for cross-referencing.

Build a comprehensive set of citations for a legal question.

Searches across statutes, case law, and preparatory works simultaneously to aggregate relevant Icelandic legal citations. Use this for broad legal research questions where you need a holistic view of the legal position.

Format an Icelandic legal citation per standard conventions.

Formats:

• full: "L. nr. 90/2018 14. gr."

• short: "90/2018 14. gr."

• pinpoint: "14. gr."

Check if an Icelandic statute or provision is currently in force.

Returns the document's status (in_force, amended, repealed, not_yet_in_force), effective dates, and any warnings. Provide as_of_date for historical evaluation of in-force status.

Server metadata, dataset statistics, freshness, and provenance. Call this to verify data coverage, currency, and content basis before relying on results.

List all data sources used by this server, including provenance, update frequency, and license information. Call this to understand where the data comes from and how current it is.

Returns the corpus build timestamp and per-source last_verified dates with staleness_days against a 90-day threshold. Use this to verify whether the data backing this MCP is current before relying on it for compliance work. For full source provenance, use list_sources; for server statistics, use about.
