Legal intelligence as a building block for AI
The gold standard for legally reliable AI
The Golden Retriever is the proven legal engine behind LegalMike. While our own AI solutions are built on this technology, organizations can also integrate the Golden Retriever directly into their own AI environment. This allows them to enrich their AI systems with up-to-date legal sources, legal intelligence, and reliable citations.
What is the Golden Retriever MCP?
The Golden Retriever is an advanced legal data solution for AI applications. Via our MCP server, you can connect the Golden Retriever to your existing AI environment. The user interface of your trusted AI system remains unchanged. The power lies under the hood.
With our data solution as part of your AI system, the full scope of Dutch and European law, along with a wide range of niche legal sources, can be included in searches, legal analyses, and the drafting of legal documents by your legal professionals.
The Golden Retriever is designed to be agnostic and can be linked to any language model: from Gemini to Claude and ChatGPT.
The modular solution for reliable legal AI
We offer the Golden Retriever to organizations with their own development capacity that wish to integrate legal research into their own workflow. This allows organizations to set up their own “AI pipeline” and further automate processes for their employees or clients.
General AI solutions like ChatGPT or Copilot, as well as specific legal solutions, are often not developed for truly in-depth legal research. They are trained on general and often outdated information, have a limited understanding of the legal system, and frequently refer to incorrect or overly general sources.
Our data solution is modular and enriches your AI system with the full scope of Dutch and European law.
Access to authoritative legal sources
The Golden Retriever provides access to, among others:
- Treaties;
- European legal acts, such as directives and regulations;
- European case law;
- Dutch laws and regulations, including local regulations (such as General Municipal Bye-laws);
- Dutch case law, including disciplinary law;
- Rulings from specialized bodies including the RvA, Kifid, and the Health Care Arbitration Tribunal;
- Parliamentary history;
- Public legal literature;
- A proprietary legal knowledge layer with validated relationships and patterns.
The technology: legal precision through RAG architecture
The Golden Retriever utilizes an advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture. This technique enriches generative AI with carefully curated, external legal knowledge sources. Before the language model generates a response, the Golden Retriever rapidly analyzes and selects the relevant legal sources.
The result:
- Answers based on official legal sources;
- High legal accuracy and reliability;
- Transparent, verifiable citations.
An innovative interplay of modern AI techniques makes the Golden Retriever the gold standard for legally reliable AI.
MCP server
The MCP server contains the logic required to use Golden Retriever effectively within an AI environment. Based on the user’s query, the server determines which sources are relevant, applies filters, ranks results, and delivers them in a format that is directly usable for the chosen language model.
As a result, you don’t have to develop your own retrieval logic, filtering mechanisms, ranking strategies, or prompt controls. The collaboration between Golden Retriever and the language model is also handled by the MCP server.
Advantages of the MCP server:
- faster implementation;
- reduced technical complexity;
- proven retrieval and sorting methods;
- less development work.
We support the implementation with extensive documentation, sample code, and personal guidance.

Why do organizations choose the Golden Retriever?
Immediate added value
The Golden Retriever provides direct access to LegalMike’s powerful legal engine. This allows development teams to focus on their own AI strategy, user experience, and business processes without having to collect, structure, and maintain legal data sources themselves.
Developed for legal practice
The Golden Retriever is the result of years of development by a multidisciplinary team of lawyers and software developers. The solution is constantly improved based on the latest technological developments and innovations.
Personal support
The implementation of the Golden Retriever is supported by extensive documentation and direct contact with our specialists. This ensures your organization not only has a powerful legal engine but also the expertise needed to utilize it optimally.
Up-to-date and growing knowledge base
The Golden Retriever is continuously updated and expanded with new sources. Additional or specific sources can also be integrated upon request by your organization.
Privacy and security guaranteed
The Golden Retriever is hosted entirely within the Netherlands. Customer data is not used to train AI models. Your organization retains full control over its own data, AI environment, and chosen language models.
