How to choose
- Match your jurisdiction. Law is local, so use a server built for your country or court.
- Insist on sources. Choose servers that cite the official text, and read the source for anything important.
- Treat answers as research. For a real decision, ask a qualified professional.

How we picked these
We read each listing's tools and put the closest fit for this job first. Hosted servers must pass a real MCP handshake in our daily check to stay on this page, and local servers are reviewed from their source or package. That shows a server responds, not how well it works for you, and we don't run every tool in production.
Frequently asked questions
Which of these MCP servers work without signing in?
Contract Lily, Lintelly HR Deutschland (Lintelly Open MCP), UK Sanctions Screening, PayGuard and HowToRomania answered our latest live check with no account or key.
Can an AI assistant do legal research through MCP?
Yes. Legal servers look up rules, cases and deadlines from real sources, which reduces made-up citations. You still need to verify anything you rely on.
Can an MCP server screen against sanctions lists?
Yes. Sanctions servers check names or crypto addresses against government lists. Use them as a first pass, not as your full compliance process.
How often is this list updated?
Every hosted server here is re-checked daily with a real MCP handshake, and a server drops off this page while it fails that check. Last check: Nov 8, 2026.
