The world’s legislation, as a data service
PONS collects primary legal sources from jurisdictions around the world and cleans, structures, versions, and cites them into one corpus. We serve it over MCP and a REST API, so your own systems and agents pull cited passages and answer on real law, instead of whatever a search engine surfaced that day.
Real legislation and case law, not the open web
PONS collects primary legal sources - statutes, regulations, and case law - and cleans, structures, versions, and cites them into one corpus. Run a single query across the jurisdictions in scope and see where the rules line up and where they diverge, each answer standing on the primary source rather than whatever a search engine surfaced that day.
- Primary sources, normalised into one schema
- One query across every jurisdiction in scope
- Every passage carries its citation and version
The jurisdictions you actually work in
Coverage is EU-first and expanding, spanning the union alongside the major national systems and the Nordics, with case law linked and cited beside the legislation. The point is not raw size. It is that everything in scope is primary, current, and sourced, so what your AI stands on is law you can name.
- EU, national, and Nordic legislation
- Case law linked and cited alongside
- Tens of millions of sourced passages
One server. Any agent
Connect the PONS legal corpus as an MCP server, and any model or agent - your own, an off-the-shelf assistant, or your IDE - can ask it a question in plain language and get back the exact passages that answer it, each with its instrument, article, and version. Every passage is traceable to its source, and there is a REST API for anything that does not use MCP.
- A standard MCP server, connected in one config block
- Cited passages back, scoped to a jurisdiction
- A REST API for everything else

}Cited passages, ready to verify
Every call returns the exact passages that bear on the question, each traceable to its source, so your product answers on real law and can show its work. Ground your own agents the same way PONS grounds its own, and keep the audit trail a regulated business needs.
- The passages that answer the query
- Each cited to instrument, article, and version
- An audit trail behind every retrieval
Know when the law changes
Sources synchronise daily and the corpus is monitored for change around the clock. When an instrument is amended, replaced, or repealed, the passages that changed are flagged with a diff, and anything that depends on them is marked for review, so your agents and answers stay current instead of quietly going stale.
- A diff for every change, not just a notice
- Dependent playbooks flagged automatically
- Versioned history you can point back to
Now also available in your system
The corpus is a service, not just a page. Register it over MCP or call the REST API, and your own agents and products answer on real, cited law, with the audit trail a regulated business needs. Tell us the jurisdictions you work in and how you want to consume it, and we will scope the coverage and a price that fits.
