Dike
Grounded MENA legal search, reasoning, citation resolution, and citation-graph traversal.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http dike 'https://api.dike.it.com/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer token: your Dike API key, e.g. "Bearer dk_live_...". Get one at https://dike.it.com/developers/.>'

dike-plugins
Plugins for Dike, grounded MENA legal search and reasoning over Saudi, Egyptian, and Emirati primary sources. This repo holds two different kinds of plugin, for two different runtimes:
- dike-legal-search — a Claude Code plugin
marketplace entry (installed via
/plugin marketplace add). - dike-dify-tools — a Dify tool plugin (installed as a local package upload in Dify; see its own README).
Quick start
/plugin marketplace add dikeai/plugins
/plugin install dike-legal-search@dike-plugins
You'll need a Dike API key (export DIKE_API_KEY=your-key-here) unless
you're connecting via Claude.ai/Desktop's OAuth-based Connectors panel
instead. See the plugin's own README for full setup.
Available plugins
dike-legal-search (Claude Code)
Search, cite, and reason over verified Saudi, Egyptian, and Emirati legal sources via Dike's remote MCP server. Every citation is checked against a retrieved document before it's returned, unresolved references are dropped, never guessed.
Commands
/dike-research— full grounded workflow: search, reason, graph audit for amendments/repeals, and citation verification/dike-search— browse and compare sources for a topic/dike-cite— parse and verify a specific citation string
Tools (also usable directly, without a slash command)
dike_search,dike_reason,dike_cite,dike_graph_traverse
Requires a Dike API key.
dike-dify-tools (Dify)
Wraps the same search/reason/cite/graph-traverse capabilities as native
Dify tools, usable directly in a chatflow, agent, or workflow app without
an MCP hop. Not installable via Dify's "GitHub repo" flow (this repo's root
isn't a Dify plugin) -- package and upload it as a local .difypkg instead;
see the plugin's own README for the exact steps.
Requires a Dike API key.
Updating
Already added the marketplace? Pull the latest plugin versions with:
/plugin marketplace update dikeai/plugins
Note on Anthropic's Connectors Directory
This is a self-serve Claude Code plugin marketplace (/plugin marketplace
add), anyone can add it, no review required. It is separate from Anthropic's
curated Connectors Directory (browsable in Claude.ai/Desktop's "Partners"
tab), which requires a full OAuth 2.1 authorization flow and Anthropic's
review process. Dike doesn't have that yet; this repo is not affiliated with
or reviewed by Anthropic.
Frequently asked questions
What is Dike?
Grounded MENA legal search, reasoning, citation resolution, and citation-graph traversal.
How do I install Dike?
It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http dike 'https://api.dike.it.com/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer token: your Dike API key, e.g. "Bearer dk_live_...". Get one at https://dike.it.com/developers/.>'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Dike need an API key?
Yes. It expects Authorization, which you set in its configuration.
Is Dike open source?
Its code is public on GitHub, but the repository does not declare a standard license.
Who maintains Dike?
It is published by dikeai. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
