Mevzuat MCP: Search Turkish Legislation Directly in Claude

Mevzuat MCP is a FastMCP server that interfaces with Turkey's official legal information system (mevzuat.gov.tr). It enables any MCP-compatible client—such as Claude Desktop, 5ire, or custom applications—to search Turkish legislation, navigate article hierarchies, and retrieve full legal texts as clean Markdown. No manual scraping is required.

The tool allows you to search for laws by title, content, law number, Official Gazette number, or legal category. You can retrieve structured tables of contents for any law, including chapters, section headings, and article numbers. Additionally, the server converts the original HTML content into readable Markdown, ensuring the text is optimized for processing by Large Language Models (LLMs).
