Sudact MCP server

Let your AI search Russian court decisions and pull up the full text of a case for you.

This is a helper that connects your AI to Sudact, a public site with Russian court decisions. Once it is set up, you can ask your AI in plain words to find cases and read them, instead of clicking around the site yourself. It is made for lawyers and legal teams, but anyone who needs to look up Russian court practice can use it.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to Sudact, the Russian court practice site, so it can search decisions and fetch full texts when you ask. You do not need to install anything complicated on your side; the search and caching happen on the service's side.

What this MCP server does

You type a request to your AI, like find cases about a certain article of the law from a certain court. The AI passes that request to this helper. The helper talks to the Sudact service over the internet, which searches the decisions and sends back a list. If you then want the full text of one case, the AI asks the helper again and you get the whole decision in the chat. You can also ask it to hide personal data in the text before you read it.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Find cases about article 159 from regional courts”, the Sudact MCP server connects it to Sudact, and you get back list of cases and full texts.
