FAQ
What the hosted MCP does, which official sources it covers, how to connect an agent, and how plans work.
SourceActs is a hosted MCP server for official law. It connects Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other MCP clients to public regulatory sources so agents can search instruments, pull metadata, and monitor updates — without custom scrapers or paid database seats. It is operated by MITC ApS in Denmark.
It's a remote Model Context Protocol endpoint (https://sourceacts.com/mcp) your agent calls instead of browsing the web. SourceActs queries public government and treaty portals — such as EUR-Lex Cellar SPARQL, the U.S. Federal Register API, and national gazettes — and returns metadata with the official locator and a source attribution string, so the agent can cite the publisher's own URL.
SourceActs only wraps public government and treaty portals; results carry the publisher's official URL and an attribution string. It does not resell Lexis, Westlaw, or other licensed collections, and it does not wrap curated secondary summaries. See Sources.
Yes — several upstream endpoints are listed on /docs. SourceActs puts them behind one MCP endpoint and one source parameter, adds content_hash values for diffing, signed webhook watches that POST only changed rows (Starter and above), per-response attribution strings, and a status page that probes each publisher. Whether that is worth $5 / month versus building it yourself depends on your setup.
Search, fetch, and latest updates are live for EUR-Lex / EU Cellar, legislation.gov.uk, the U.S. Federal Register, the Canada Gazette, Denmark's Retsinformation, WTO Documents Online, the UN Official Document System, and Brazilian federal legislation. The eGazette of India is catalogued but not searchable yet. Full catalogue: Sources.
Add https://sourceacts.com/mcp as a remote MCP server with the header Authorization: Bearer <your sa_live_ key>. /docs has setup for Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Claude Code, Claude Desktop (via mcp-remote) and ChatGPT.
Starter is $5 / month: 200 queries a day, 25 results per call, 1 API key, all wired official sources, overnight gazette / Official Journal updates, 3 signed webhook watches, and an audit log. See pricing.
Builder ($15 / month), Pro ($49), Scale ($99), and Scale+ ($249) — the same official sources, with higher daily-query, API-key and watch caps. There are no seats, no Enterprise SKU, and no sales-gated unlimited plan. See pricing.
Paid plans are Stripe subscriptions that renew monthly until you cancel them through the Stripe Customer Portal.
SourceActs records its reuse position for each source, with a link to the publisher's own statement, on source compliance. Official texts remain copyright of their publishers, and SourceActs does not give legal advice.
Every search, fetch, and latest-updates response includes a source attribution string, and each result carries its official locator. Keep both when you publish agent output, and do not remove source URLs. See attribution.
No. SourceActs does not give legal advice. Results are metadata and locators from government and treaty publishers; you remain responsible for how your agents use them. See terms.
