Note on Claude surfaces: The MCP server works in Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code. The eu-legal and fi-startup-legal plugins require Claude Code (the CLI tool). If you use Claude.ai or Claude Desktop, connect via the MCP server above — it gives Claude access to the same live regulatory and statutory data that the plugins use.
