Lawstronaut

Lawstronaut is a legal data infrastructure platform that provides programmatic access to global primary legal sources, designed to serve as the data layer underlying legal AI products, compliance tools, and regulatory intelligence applications. The platform is a spinoff of filerskeepers, a legal data and compliance solutions provider, and is operated by Lawstronaut FZCO.

Key features and functions include:

Global Legal Coverage
The platform indexes more than 45 million legal records across 150+ jurisdictions, encompassing legislation, regulations, court decisions, regulatory guidance, and enforcement materials sourced directly from official government portals, regulators, gazettes, and court systems.

Official Source Traceability
Every record is linked to its originating government, regulatory, or judicial authority, with direct URLs to official publications. Each document includes a full provenance chain to support citation and audit-ready legal workflows.

Continuous Monitoring and Updates
Legal sources are monitored on an ongoing basis to capture amendments, repeals, new legislation, regulatory guidance, and enforcement developments. Change detection operates at the article level, surfacing updates as they occur rather than on a periodic batch basis.

Structured Metadata
Each document is accompanied by rich metadata, including title, document number, jurisdiction, issuing authority, enactment date, amendment date, effective date, expiration date, legal references, status, document type, language, and full text. Content is normalized into a consistent schema with jurisdictional tagging and cross-references to support both human review and machine consumption.

Jurisdiction-Specific Filtering
Users can filter content by country, region, issuing authority, document type, date, or topic. The API supports filtering across specific jurisdictions such as the European Union or United States, as well as cross-jurisdictional queries for comparative legal and regulatory research.

REST API Access
The Lawstronaut API is a RESTful interface returning JSON-encoded responses with standard HTTP status codes, supporting OAuth 2.0 authentication. It provides programmatic access to full text, metadata, and versioned legal content for integration into software products, compliance platforms, and AI applications.

MCP Server Access
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI agents and assistants—including those built on Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and custom enterprise systems—to retrieve live legal intelligence within existing workflows. The MCP server returns source-backed answers with citations and legal provenance, supporting use cases including horizon scanning, real-time legal research, and historical version verification.
