## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

## MCP tools (3)

### `it_normattiva_search` (~456 tokens)

Search Italian national legislation (laws, decree-laws, legislative decrees, the Constitution, regulations, …) by full-text words, title words, act type and/or date range. Returns matching acts with their act type, title, emanation date, publication (Gazzetta Ufficiale) date kept separate from emanation date, and a constructed `urn` field for chaining into it_normattiva_get_act / it_normattiva_get_article. Pass in_force_on (YYYY-MM-DD) to restrict to acts in force on that date. act_type takes the official Italian label, e.g. "LEGGE", "DECRETO LEGISLATIVO", "DECRETO-LEGGE", "COSTITUZIONE", "REGOLAMENTO". Free-text query matching is OR-across-words over the whole corpus (not an exact phrase), so narrow with title/act_type/dates for tight results. Source: Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS), Normattiva Open Data.

Input parameters:

- `act_type` (string): Official act-type label, e.g. "LEGGE", "DECRETO LEGISLATIVO", "DECRETO-LEGGE", "COSTITUZIONE", "REGOLAMENTO".
- `emanation_date_from` (string): YYYY-MM-DD — earliest emanation (enactment) date.
- `emanation_date_to` (string): YYYY-MM-DD — latest emanation (enactment) date.
- `in_force_on` (string): YYYY-MM-DD — restrict to acts in force on this date.
- `limit` (number): Max results per page, 1-100 (default 20).
- `offset` (number): Results to skip for paging (default 0).
- `publication_date_from` (string): YYYY-MM-DD — earliest Gazzetta Ufficiale publication date.
- `publication_date_to` (string): YYYY-MM-DD — latest Gazzetta Ufficiale publication date.
- `query` (string): Full-text search words, e.g. "protezione dei dati personali".
- `title` (string): Words to match in the act's title.

### `it_normattiva_get_act` (~308 tokens)

Resolve an exact citation (URN:NIR) to an Italian national act — e.g. "urn:nir:stato:decreto.legislativo:2003-06-30;196" (the Privacy Code). Returns the act's title, type, emanation date, Gazzetta Ufficiale publication date (kept separate from emanation and from in-force dates), and the opening text (preamble through the start of Article 1). Pass as_of (YYYY-MM-DD) for the version in force on that date (multivigenza), or original: true for the text as originally enacted — default is the current consolidated text. For a specific article's text, use it_normattiva_get_article instead. Source: Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS), Normattiva Open Data.

Input parameters:

- `as_of` (string): YYYY-MM-DD — the version in force on this date (multivigenza). Omit for the current consolidated text.
- `original` (boolean): true — return the text as originally enacted, ignoring later amendments.
- `urn` (string, required): URN:NIR citation, e.g. "urn:nir:stato:decreto.legislativo:2003-06-30;196", or urn:nir:stato:<tipo.atto>:<yyyy-mm-dd>;<numero> built from an it_normattiva_search result.

### `it_normattiva_get_article` (~352 tokens)

Get the original-language (Italian) text of one article of an Italian national act, as of a given date. "urn" is the bare act citation (e.g. "urn:nir:stato:decreto.legislativo:2003-06-30;196", from it_normattiva_search or it_normattiva_get_act) and "article" is the article number, e.g. "1", "2", "12-bis". Pass as_of (YYYY-MM-DD) to resolve the version of that article in force on that date (multivigenza) — publication, emanation and in-force-from/until dates all come back as separate fields. original: true returns the article as originally enacted. annex selects an article inside an allegato (annex) rather than the main act body. Source: Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (IPZS), Normattiva Open Data.

Input parameters:

- `annex` (string): Optional allegato (annex) number/identifier, if the article is inside an annex rather than the main body.
- `article` (string, required): Article number, e.g. "1", "2", "12-bis".
- `as_of` (string): YYYY-MM-DD — the version in force on this date (multivigenza). Omit for the current consolidated text.
- `original` (boolean): true — return the article as originally enacted, ignoring later amendments.
- `urn` (string, required): Bare act citation, e.g. "urn:nir:stato:decreto.legislativo:2003-06-30;196" (no article suffix).

## Common questions

### What is the It Normattiva MCP server?

It Normattiva is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/it-normattiva. Italy, national legislation, from Normattiva's Open Data service (Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca… This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-it-normattiva).

### Is the It Normattiva MCP server safe to use?

It Normattiva scores 81 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the It Normattiva MCP server expose?

It Normattiva exposes 3 tools: it_normattiva_search, it_normattiva_get_act, it_normattiva_get_article. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,116 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the It Normattiva MCP server still maintained?

It Normattiva is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the It Normattiva MCP server under?

It Normattiva declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the It Normattiva MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on It Normattiva, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
