Rechtspraak (Dutch Case Law)
This server connects Claude to the Dutch judiciary's Open Data API and the LiDO citation graph, letting you search case law by court, date, legal area, and document type, then fetch full text and metadata by ECLI. The six tools cover single and bulk search, full-text retrieval for up to ten decisions at once, value-list enumeration for building filters, and citation-graph traversal to see which rulings reference each other or link to statutes. No API key needed. Results include deeplinks to the official Rechtspraak site and a PrudAI viewer with quote-anchored URLs. Reach for it when you need to pull Dutch jurisprudence into a legal research workflow or cite authoritative rulings in generated documents.
