The EU's Digital Omnibus just reshuffled the AI Act — and the gap between the headline and what's actually in force is exactly where teams over-comply or get exposed. (Concrete example: Article 50 transparency duties still take effect on 2 August 2026 despite the reshuffle.)</p> <p>So I built <strong>AI Law Tracker</strong> — one API for AI law, designed to live <em>inside</em> other products.</p> <h2> What's in it </h2> <ul> <li>Coverage: 50 US states + DC + federal + EU + other jurisdictions</li> <li>Refreshed daily, provenance + official source URL on every record</li> <li>An interpreted layer: obligations, penalties and effective dates — not just raw statute text</li> <li>Human-audited and sourced, <strong>not</strong> LLM-generated. A hallucinated deadline is worse than no answer, so the interpreted data is verified, not generated.</li> </ul> <h2> The part I care about most: trust </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Public accuracy ledger</strong> — every record is checkable.</li> <li> <strong>Bug bounty</strong> for wrong data.</li> </ul> <p>If you're building anything downstream of the regulation layer (AI governance, compliance tooling, legal engineering), you shouldn't have to trust a black box.</p> <h2> MCP connector </h2> <p>There's a Model Context Protocol connector with 24 tools, so an agent inside Claude or ChatGPT can query laws, obligations, penalties and deadlines directly.</p> <h2> Try it (no card) </h2> <ul> <li>Free API key: ai-law-tracker.com/developers#get-key</li> <li>Live Omnibus breakdown: ai-law-tracker.com/omnibus</li> </ul> <p>I'd love feedback on the data model and the MCP tool design — is 24 tools the right granularity for an agent reasoning over regulation, or too fine-grained?</p> ai api mcp showdev
