Changelog

What's new in the Legalize API.

v0.18.0 2026-08-26

The connector can actually sign you in

  • Adding the connector to Claude now completes. Sign-in resolved your account from a field the access token does not carry, so every call would have been rejected
  • Your address is read from the sign-in service once and remembered for ten minutes, instead of being expected inside the token

v0.17.0 2026-08-26

One click from Claude to your account

  • Adding the Legalize connector to Claude or ChatGPT now signs you in and asks your permission, instead of failing to register
  • The consent screen names the application, lists exactly what it is allowed to read, and grants nothing until you press the button
  • Signing in is unchanged: the same magic link, the same account. Connectors are authorized on top of it, not instead of it
  • The "Add to Claude" button on legalize.dev/mcp was invisible: its label was painted in the same colour as the button behind it

v0.16.1 2026-08-26

Ask for an article by its name

  • Asking the connector for "Artículo 348 bis" now returns that article. It was answering "no such article" on every real law, because the corpus anchors the whole heading and the lookup wanted an exact match
  • When an article's name matches more than one (34 and 34 bis), the answer says so and names both, instead of guessing one
  • Every tool now carries a title, which connector directories require

v0.16.0 2026-08-26

The connector's page, and what it records

  • legalize.dev/mcp — one click to add the connector to Claude, and the endpoint to paste into ChatGPT
  • The page states the free allowance, the seven tools, and which corpora are published without their amendments folded in
  • Every MCP call is now recorded: which tool, how long it took, how many results. No IP address and no user-agent, and rows are deleted after 90 days

v0.15.0 2026-08-26

The seven MCP research tools

  • Ask an assistant what a law said on a given date and get the text, the citation and the SHA behind it
  • Diff a law between two dates: what changed, in the text itself, with both versions pinned
  • Search, read, amendment history and corpus stats, over all 14 countries
  • A law too large to send whole comes back as its table of contents, never as half a law
  • A text published without its amendments folded in says so, and names the norms that amend it

v0.14.0 2026-08-26

MCP endpoint (preview)

  • POST /mcp — connect Claude or ChatGPT to Legalize with OAuth, no API key to paste
  • Signing in through the connector creates your free account on the spot
  • Preview: one tool for now (list_countries). The seven research tools land next
