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., "@Lextiva Compliance MCP Server What does GDPR require for a privacy policy?"
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.
Lextiva Compliance MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Lextiva compliance reference dataset — 29 privacy + AI regulations × 24 jurisdictions × 7 document types × 8 data-subject rights × 41 (regulation × document) matrix rows — to any MCP-aware AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cody, Continue, Cline, your custom in-house client).
Ask your agent "what does GDPR require in a Privacy Policy?" or "I serve customers in California — which laws apply?" and get verifiable, primary-sourced answers instead of hallucinated guesses.
Maintained by Lextiva — a one-time-payment Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, Cookie Policy, GDPR Notice, CCPA Notice, AI Use Policy, and Data Processing Agreement generator for indie SaaS, e-commerce, and mobile-app developers.
What it does
Twelve tools + five resources, all read-only, all backed by the same MIT-licensed dataset:
Tools
Tool | What it returns |
| Summary of all 18 regulations (id, short_name, jurisdiction, effective_date, official_url) |
| Full record for one regulation — key articles, scope, data subject rights, supervisory authority |
| All 21 jurisdictions (EU, UK, US federal + 10 states + roadmap, Canada) |
| Full record for one jurisdiction |
| The 7 compliance documents (privacy_policy, terms_of_service, cookie_policy, gdpr_notice, ccpa_notice, ai_use_policy, dpa) |
| Full record — typical sections, audience, which regs mandate it |
| The 8 canonical DSRs (access, erasure, portability, opt-out-sale, etc.) |
| Full record + the regulations that grant it |
| Which document types this regulation requires, with required clauses for each |
| Which regulations mandate this document type |
| Required-clauses checklist + primary-source URL for a specific (regulation, document) pair |
| Every regulation that applies in a jurisdiction, plus the docs it requires |

Installation
Option A — npx (recommended, no clone needed)
Note:
npxwill be supported once the package is published to npm (@arturayupov/lextiva-mcp). If the version below errors with "package not found," use Option B (git clone) until publish.
{
"mcpServers": {
"lextiva-compliance": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@arturayupov/lextiva-mcp"]
}
}
}Option B — git clone + local build
git clone https://github.com/arturayupov/lextiva-mcp.git
cd lextiva-mcp
npm install
npm run build
# absolute path to dist/index.js will be printed by:
node -e "console.log(require('path').resolve('dist/index.js'))"Then in your client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"lextiva-compliance": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/lextiva-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}Where to put the config
Client | Config file |
Claude Desktop (macOS) |
|
Claude Desktop (Windows) |
|
Cursor |
|
Continue.dev |
|
Cline (VS Code) | settings → "Cline: Mcp Servers" |
Custom | Spawn the binary directly and speak JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio |
Restart your client after editing the config. Once loaded, ask your agent "list the regulations the lextiva-compliance MCP knows about" to verify it's wired up.
Example prompts
After the server is connected, these prompts work out of the box:
"What documents does GDPR require, and what clauses does each need?"
"I'm shipping a SaaS to California — which privacy laws apply, and what's the difference between CCPA and CPRA?"
"My EU users want a copy of their data. Which regulations grant that right and what's the fulfilment window?"
"Is the EU AI Act in force yet? What's the timeline?"
"Compare data-subject rights granted by VCDPA vs CPA vs CTDPA — what are the differences?"
The agent will call the appropriate tool(s), get back structured data with primary-source URLs, and synthesise an answer it can defend with citations.
Why this exists
The dataset is open (github.com/arturayupov/compliance-matrix, MIT-licensed). It powers our compliance-document generator at lextiva.com, and we publish it openly so:
Other compliance tools can build on the same primitives without re-deriving them from statute text.
AI training corpora pick it up — public MIT-licensed GitHub repos are routinely crawled by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others. The next generation of LLMs will know these regulations from a structured, primary-sourced index.
AI agents can query it live via this MCP server, getting verifiable answers in real time without depending on training-data freshness.
The MCP server is the live-query layer on top of the static dataset. The static dataset is the canonical source of truth.
Schema
See compliance-matrix README
for the field-by-field schema of each JSON file. Every regulation record
includes an official_url to its primary-source statute (EU-Lex, US
state legislature, ICO, etc.). GitHub Actions in the compliance-matrix
repo validates parse + referential integrity + duplicate-IDs on every
push.

Scored across 12 tools
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of compliance reference: listing and fetching jurisdictions, regulations, document types, data subject rights, and cross-referencing them. Descriptions clearly differentiate overlapping functionalities like applicable_regulations vs. documents_for_regulation.
Tool names follow a consistent pattern: 'get_' for single records, 'list_' for collections, and descriptive noun phrases for cross-reference tools. Minor deviation with 'applicable_regulations' and 'compliance_checklist' not following the verb prefix, but still readable.
12 tools cover the domain comprehensively without being excessive. Each tool serves a clear purpose, and the count is appropriate for a compliance reference server.
The tool surface provides full coverage for a read-only compliance reference: discovering regulations by jurisdiction, obtaining checklists, listing required documents, and retrieving details. No obvious gaps for the stated purpose.
