No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/nl_staatsblad_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search the Dutch official gazette (Staatsblad) by title words: laws, royal decrees, AMvBs and entry-into-force decrees (“tijdstip van inwerkingtreding”). All words must appear in the title. Returns Staatsblad identifier (e.g. stb-2023-235), year and number, title, type, ministry, publication date and official link. Pass year or type (e.g. “Koninklijk Besluit”) to narrow. Use nl_staatsblad_get for the text.
