Open-source MCP server for Italian law & Parliament

Open·Parlamento ships two open-source MCP servers that bring Italian law, EU law and Parliament data into any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, and the rest.

What is an MCP server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard an AI assistant uses to call external tools. An “MCP server” exposes functions (find a statute, read a bill’s status, fetch a statistic) the AI can invoke against real sources instead of hallucinating them.

The two packages

Installation

# republic-mcp (Camera/Senato + OpenPolis)
npx -y republic-mcp

# open-parlamento-mcp (legge, UE, giurisprudenza, dati)
pip install open-parlamento-mcp
open-parlamento-mcp

Configuration (Claude Desktop / Cursor)

Add the servers to your MCP client configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "republic": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "republic-mcp"] },
    "open-parlamento": { "command": "open-parlamento-mcp" }
  }
}

Open source and free

Code under the MIT license, data from public and open sources (Normattiva, Chamber of Deputies, Senate, EUR-Lex, Eurostat). No paid key for the data tools; cerca_legge uses a LightRAG instance.
