Iceland Legal Research MCP Server (is-legal-mcp)

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing direct, read-only access to Iceland (IS) legislation, multi-tier judicial decisions (First Instance, Regional/Cantonal/Appellate, and Supreme/Constitutional courts), and statutory citation verification for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Antigravity.

Quick Desktop Setup (No Command Line Required)

This package includes a graphical installer for legal practitioners who prefer not to use terminal commands or edit JSON configuration files manually.

  1. Download: Click <> Code at the top right of this repository, select Download ZIP, and extract the folder to your computer.

  2. Run the Setup Utility:

    • Windows: Double-click Click_Here_To_Install_Windows.bat
