Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"ris-mcp","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.
Everything here was measured by our prober or read from a registry. Nothing is self-reported.

# ris-mcp > **👉 See [jonashertner.github.io/ris-mcp](https://jonashertner.github.io/ris-mcp/) for the project page and self-build instructions.** Proof-of-concept local MCP server for the Austrian Rechtsinformationssystem (RIS) — court decisions and consolidated federal law, queryable from MCP clients. [](https://github.com/jonashertner/ris-mcp/actions/workflows/ci.yml) ## What `ris-mcp` demonstrates how to ingest Austrian RIS data into a local, FTS5-indexed SQLite database and expose it through MCP. The repository is published for others to study, fork, and take forward. It is not a supported service or product, and it has no delivery roadmap. ## Install (users) See the [landing page](https://jonashertner.github.io/ris-mcp/). No public pre-built corpus or hosted endpoint is provided. To exercise the proof of concept, build a local database from the official RIS API with `ris-ingest --full`. ## Develop (contributors) ```bash git clone https://github.com/jonashertner/ris-mcp.git cd ris-mcp uv venv && uv pip install -e ".[dev]" .venv/bin/pytest -v ``` Run the MCP server locally: ```bash .venv/bin/ris-mcp serve ``` Kick off a full backfill (currently about 3–4 days): ```bash .venv/bin/ris-ingest --full ``` Emit coverage stats: ```bash .venv/bin/ris-ingest coverage --out docs/stats.json ``` ## Licenses - Code: MIT - Data: CC0-1.0 (amtliches Werk per § 7 öUrhG) ## Credits - [ximex/ris-bka](https://github.com/ximex/ris-bka) — early (2013) RIS OGD documentation - [opencaselaw.ch](https://opencaselaw.ch) — architectural inspiration (Swiss case law)
