# Legalize

> Open legislation platform. Consolidated laws with full reform history, from every country listed at https://legalize.dev/#countries. Browse on the web, query via REST API, or clone the raw data from GitHub.

Legalize makes legislation accessible as structured data. Every law is a Markdown file with metadata. Every reform is a git commit. The platform serves three audiences: citizens browsing laws, developers building legal tools, and researchers analyzing legislative change.

## Browse Laws

API and MCP share usage. Unused requests do not roll over.

- [MCP Connector](https://legalize.dev/mcp): Official Model Context Protocol server. Endpoint `https://legalize.dev/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in required). Read-only tools over the whole corpus: list_countries, search_laws, get_law, law_at_date, diff_law, reform_history, law_stats.
- [Tool catalogue](https://legalize.dev/mcp/tools.json): Readable without a token.
- `law_at_date` returns what a norm said on a given day plus the git commit SHA of that version, so any quote can be checked against the public repositories.
