Korean Law

You can search Korean laws, cases, and administrative rules through a dedicated MCP server that connects with your preferred client. It lets you perform precise legal queries in a chat-like experience and assembles full reports that include related decrees, referenced articles, and attachments.

How to use

You interact with the MCP client to issue natural language questions about Korean law. Start with a clear question like “고등교육법 제20조 찾아줘” to retrieve the exact article text. For broader inquiries such as “학교폭력 관련 대법원 판례 찾아줘,” the system will return relevant cases with concise summaries. You can also search for administrative rules, local ordinances, and legal terms, or request interpretation examples and attached forms. If you want a comprehensive view of a provision and its subordinate rules, use the deep search capability to pull related decrees, rules, and cross-referenced provisions into one report.

What you can achieve with the tools

• Look up statutes, precedents, and regulations with exact article references to see the full text. - Retrieve full content for longer documents when you need the entire statute or case text. - Explore the legal chain to get related implementing decrees, rules, and cited articles in one report. - View attached forms or schedules that accompany a statute. - Find legal term definitions and interpretation examples from official sources. - Generate official-looking reports that consolidate related references and cross-links.

Configuration you need to run

You must supply an API ID (OPEN_LAW_ID) from the Official Law Information Center to enable access. Place this ID in the configuration you run for the MCP server.

Examples of capabilities to try

Example: ask for a legal definition like “근로자가 뭐야?” and you’ll receive the precise statutory definition. Example: search for an interpretation case to see how a given provision is commonly understood in practice. Example: request a report that includes referenced articles and related provisions when exploring a specific statute.

Security and access notes

Keep your OPEN_LAW_ID and any tokens confidential. Use trusted environments when running the MCP server and avoid exposing sensitive identifiers in shared setups.

Troubleshooting tips

If you encounter connection issues, verify that your MCP client is configured with the correct command path or URL, and ensure the OPEN_LAW_ID is valid. Confirm that environment variables are correctly passed to the running MCP process.
