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., "@Portuguese Competition MCP search recent merger decisions in technology sector"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

Portuguese Competition MCP
▶ Try this MCP instantly via Ansvar Gateway
50 free queries/day · no card required · OAuth signup at ansvar.eu/gateway
One endpoint, one OAuth signup, access from any MCP-compatible client.
Connect
Claude Code (one line):
claude mcp add ansvar --transport http https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcpClaude Desktop / Cursor — add to claude_desktop_config.json (or mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ansvar": {
"type": "url",
"url": "https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp"
}
}
}Claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://gateway.ansvar.eu/mcp
First request opens an OAuth flow at ansvar.eu/gateway. After signup, your client is bound to your account; tier (free / premium / team / company) determines fan-out, quota, and which downstream MCPs are reachable.
Self-host this MCP
You can also clone this repo and build the corpus yourself. The schema, fetcher, and tool implementations all live here. What is not in the repo is the pre-built database — TDM and standards-licensing constraints on the upstream sources mean we host the corpus on Ansvar infrastructure rather than redistribute it as a public artifact.
Build your own: run this repo's ingestion script (entry-point varies per
repo — typically scripts/ingest.sh, npm run ingest, or make ingest;
check the repo root).

TDQS
Scored across 6 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: search vs. get, decisions vs. mergers, plus aggregate sector info and metadata. No two tools overlap in functionality or intended use.
The consistent pt_comp_ prefix and verb_noun pattern (search_decisions, get_decision, search_mergers, get_merger, list_sectors) make naming predictable. The 'about' tool breaks the verb_noun pattern slightly, and there's a minor singular/plural mismatch between search and get, but these are trivial.
Six tools is an appropriate scope for a focused competition law database: two resource types each with search and get, plus a sector overview and server metadata. Nothing feels redundant or missing.
For a read-only legal information server, the surface is complete: it offers both search and retrieval for the two core entity types (decisions and mergers), and list_sectors provides useful aggregate context. No dead ends or essential missing operations.
