Introduction

Moonlit Connect is the access layer for Moonlit's European legal data: legislation, case law, preparatory materials and supervisory guidance. Every document carries a direct source URL to the original publication, so every citation can be checked at the source in one click. A citation graph connects the documents, so a provision leads to the case law and guidance that cite it.

Offering	Built for	Access
MCP server, self-serve	Legal professionals and researchers working inside an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, and others)	Sign in with your Moonlit account
MCP server, enterprise	Firms and companies: Moonlit for the whole organization, in internal services, or built into your own applications	MCP keys, created under My organization
Data API	Products and pipelines on your own backend, via REST	Subscription key, provisioned by our team

Most legal professionals and researchers want the self-serve MCP server: it works inside the assistant they already use. Firms and companies that want Moonlit available across the organization, running in their own internal services, or built into their own applications work with MCP keys. Developers building on the data directly use the Data API.

All three run on the same data layer, so research you prototype in an assistant can be rebuilt on the API without surprises. Access for every route starts at Get access.

Skills for the MCP server

A skill is a file of instructions that teaches an AI assistant to work with Moonlit the way a careful lawyer would: governing law first, verified at the source, and every claim of law carrying a citation that can be checked in place. First-party skills are available for download on the Skills page, with an install guide for each AI app.

How to connect: setup for every supported AI app, one section per app.
