What it is

Kvasir combines a legal research app with a REST and MCP grounding API for German, Austrian, Swiss, and EU law. It reports coverage across nine jurisdictions, with over 450,000 norms and over 450,000 court decisions refreshed daily. The API supports legal search, citation resolution, batch verification, draft checking, legal objects, and citation relations; it can also check citation existence and compare draft quotations with canonical wording. Full draft text is transmitted only through check_draft, which requires the separately granted legal.check scope. MCP setup is documented for ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Perplexity, and Mistral Le Chat; developer guides cover Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code. Plain REST access is also available. The free Hobby plan costs nothing and includes the app, an API key, MCP, and 2,000 sips per month. A keyless sandbox allows 20 requests per day; the MCP demo allows 10 tool calls per day and IP. Kvasir says requests are processed in memory, not stored, while aggregate usage counters are retained.
