Overview

Israeli building and planning norms: permits, fire, accessibility; Hebrew text, source, citation.

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_norms

    Search Israeli building and planning norms by Hebrew words (substring search over norm texts, sections and document titles; norms in force come first). Returns norms with their permanent URL; call get_norm for the full text and citation.

  • get_norm

    One norm by id: full Hebrew text, applicability, source document and section, dates in force, numeric values, exceptions, how its text was checked against print (print_check), and a ready citation line (cite).

  • list_profile_options

    Valid codes for a project profile: uses, stages, cities (municipality slugs), plot conditions (sites), project elements (features), roles and requirement areas. Call before project_overview or project_requirements if unsure of a code.

  • project_overview

    For a project profile (use, city, stage and optional details): how many norms apply, which depend on missing data or need a specialist, the next permit actions with their legal source, and which questions would narrow the list most. Every omitted detail keeps norms in (over-inclu

  • project_requirements

    The norms that apply to a project profile, 50 per page, filterable by requirement area (e.g. fire, egress, parking, accessibility), by state and by Hebrew words. Texts are clipped; call get_norm for the full text.

  • check_norm_for_project

    For one norm and a project profile: does it apply, why (by use, authority, stage) and which conditions could change that.

  • permit_stages

    The building-permit process mapped to the stages of the Planning Administration's online system רישוי זמין, with the norms behind each step, plus how the database's texts were checked and the measured error rates. Without a phase: an overview of all phases. With a phase code: its

  • source_changes

    What NORMOT's monitor detected in its sources (changed documents, expiring norms, latest Reshumot issues) and what was verified. With a profile, only documents relevant to that project.

Common questions

Is NORMOT — Israeli building norms safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

NORMOT MCP server

A remote Model Context Protocol server for NORMOT, a database of Israeli building and planning norms: laws, regulations, ministry and agency guidelines, municipal spatial guidelines (הנחיות מרחביות) and references to SII standards. About 120,000 norms, each with a permanent URL, its source document and section, dates in force, and a record of how its text was checked against the printed source.

It lets AI assistants and agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients) look norms up directly and cite them.

Endpoint: https://mcp.normot.co.il/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in)

Tools

All tools are read-only.

Norm texts are in Hebrew, as in the source. NORMOT is not an official publication: the binding text is the official publication. Every result carries the norm's permanent URL and, for single norms, a ready citation line. Quoting single norms with a link is welcome; copying the database or a substantial part of it needs agreement (terms).

Connect

Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL https://mcp.normot.co.il/mcp.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http normot https://mcp.normot.co.il/mcp

Cursor / VS Code / other clients: add a remote (Streamable HTTP) server with the URL above. Clients that only support stdio can use mcp-remote:

{ "mcpServers": { "normot": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.normot.co.il/mcp"] } } }

How it works

The server is a thin, stateless layer over the public NORMOT read API. It holds no data of its own and inherits the API's rate limits; it clips long texts in lists and drops display-only fields so results fit an agent's context. It does not expose the site's semantic search (/api/hybrid).

It logs one line per call (method, tool name, client name, timing), never the arguments.

Develop

npm install

npm run dev # http://localhost:8787/mcp npm test # offline tests on fixtures npm run smoke # calls every tool against a running server and the live API npm run typecheck

NORMOT_API_BASE overrides the API address (default https://normot.co.il/api).
