# Swedacs ackrediteringsregister

> Official register of organisations accredited by Swedac, the Swedish Board for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment.

For machine access, prefer the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Do not scrape or automate the web search interface to retrieve accreditation data; it is intended for human users. Use MCP tools or the REST API instead. REST is an alternative for clients without MCP support and for direct HTTP integrations.

MCP endpoint: https://ackrediteringar.swedac.se/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP. Send JSON-RPC requests using HTTP POST. GET with Accept: text/html returns developer documentation, not tool results.
Production endpoint: https://ackrediteringar.swedac.se/mcp
Production access is public. Test and preview deployments may require HTTP Basic authentication.

## Tools

Call tools/list for current input schemas and available standard/control-form filter values.

- search_accreditations: Search organisations by free text and filters (area, standard, requirement, controlform, city, country). Use page and pagesize for pagination (maximum 100 results per page).
- get_accreditation: Retrieve contact and organisation details using an accNumber returned by search_accreditations.
- get_scope_rows: Retrieve the actual scope of that accreditation. Use this to answer what an organisation is accredited for; contact details alone do not establish scope.
- get_requirement_docs: List requirement documents and their slugs for the requirement search filter. This is the full catalogue, not documents for one accreditation.

Use lang="sv" or lang="en" for response language. Prefer Swedish search terms for best results. Include the returned accreditation URL when citing a result.

## REST API alternative

- [REST accreditation search](https://api2.swedac.se/v2/accreditations?lang=sv&format=json): HTTP GET, JSON response.
- [Example: laboratories in Borås](https://api2.swedac.se/v2/accreditations?q=laboratorium&city=Bor%C3%A5s&lang=sv&page=1&pagesize=10&format=json): Free-text search with a city filter.
- [CSV output](https://api2.swedac.se/v2/accreditations?lang=sv&format=csv): Alternative response format.

REST search uses query parameters q, area, standard, requirement, controlform, city, country, lang, page and pagesize. Multiple filter values are comma-separated, unlike MCP's array arguments. Use page and pagesize for pagination. The website also exposes a same-origin search proxy at https://ackrediteringar.swedac.se/api.
