Thai Law

You can query Thai legislation directly from an MCP-compatible client to search, retrieve exact provisions, verify currency, and build legal arguments. This server provides a verified Thai legal database with full-text search, EU cross-references, and context-rich results, designed for lawyers, compliance professionals, legal tech developers, and researchers who need accurate statutory text without manual cross-referencing.

How to use

Connect your MCP-enabled client to one of the available endpoints to start querying Thai law. You can use the hosted version for zero installation or run the server locally via npm. Once connected, you can perform full-text searches, retrieve exact provisions by statute and section, check if a statute is in force, and aggregate citations for a topic. Use natural language queries like asking about data protection provisions, cybersecurity requirements, or EU directive implementations.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need Node.js installed on your system. You can verify Node.js and npm are available by running the following commands.

node -v
npm -v

Option A: Use remotely (no install) — connect to the hosted MCP endpoint directly from your client.

Endpoint to use: https://thailand-law-mcp.vercel.app/mcp

Option 1 — Use remotely (no install) with client configuration

Configure your MCP client to point at the hosted endpoint. The exact steps depend on your client.

Example for a typical client configuration includes the HTTP URL and an empty argument list for remote usage.

Option 2 — Run locally with npm (direct npx usage)

Install and run the local MCP server using the following command.

npx @ansvar/thailand-law-mcp

Option 3 — Run locally with npm start (dev)

If you prefer starting through the project’s development script, use the npm dev command.

npm run dev

Configure clients for local or remote use

To connect Claude Desktop or Cursor/VS Code, add an MCP server entry pointing to the appropriate command or URL. Examples below show how to wire the server into popular clients.
