Egyptian Law

Egyptian Law MCP provides access to an organized, MCP-based database of Egyptian cybersecurity legislation. It enables powerful search, precise article retrieval, citation validation, and currency checks so you can verify which laws are currently in force and locate relevant provisions efficiently.

How to use

You can connect to Egyptian Law MCP using either the remote HTTP endpoint or by running a local MCP client. The remote endpoint is hosted at a public MCP URL and lets you query the database over the network. The local option runs the MCP server on your machine, invoked via a package runner. Use whichever method fits your workflow to search provisions, retrieve specific articles, validate citations, and confirm currency of laws.

How to install

Prerequisites: you should have Node.js and npm installed on your system. If you plan to run a local MCP client, ensure your environment can execute npm or npx commands.

Remote HTTP usage requires no local installation beyond a client capable of making MCP requests. Use the remote URL shown in the quick start to connect.

If you prefer a local setup, install and run the MCP client using the following command from your shell. This uses npx to execute the MCP client provided by the project.

Data sources and scope

Real legislation is ingested from Egypt's official Public Laws Portal. The corpus includes currently discoverable law detail pages, their status (All, Active, Amended, Repealed), and downloadable PDFs attached to detail pages.

A snapshot as of February 22, 2026 includes a small set of law detail pages and 14 downloadable PDFs. OCR is used to extract text from PDFs, with a fallback for image-based documents. OCR output is derived from source texts and is not altered to fabricate legal content.

What you can do with the MCP

Full-text search across provisions using an efficient indexing method. Retrieve specific articles at the provision level. Validate citations to avoid referencing non-existent provisions. Check whether laws are currently in force.
