Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@rechtspraak-mcp Search for case law about data protection from 2023"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
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-mcpTool | What it does |
| Search case law (faceted by default; full-text behind a flag). Returns ECLIs + links. |
| Run 3–10 searches at once. |
| Fetch full text + metadata + relations of one decision by ECLI. |
| Fetch up to 10 decisions by ECLI in one call. |
| List value lists (instanties, rechtsgebieden, proceduresoorten, …) to build valid filters. |
| LiDO citation graph around an ECLI: what cites it, what it cites, statute references. |
Related MCP server: caselegis-mcp
search_uitspraken 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. get_uitspraak fetches the full text and metadata from the documented Open Data content endpoint.
Claude Code (or any client reading claude_desktop_config.json / .mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"rechtspraak": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "rechtspraak-mcp"]
}
}
}claude mcp add rechtspraak -- npx -y rechtspraak-mcpEvery 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:

|
| Upstream request timeout. |
|
| Concurrency for bulk tools. |
|
| Base URL for the viewer deeplinks. |
|
| User-Agent sent upstream. |
| KOOP default | Override the LiDO service endpoint. |
