## What it does

Korean Law MCP connects an AI assistant to South Korean legal materials: statutes, precedents, administrative rules, local ordinances, treaties and interpretations, including tax agency materials. Its ten tools cover 42 Ministry of Government Legislation APIs and can verify citations in AI answers.

Access requires an OC key for the Ministry of Government Legislation Open API. In Claude Code, add the server with `claude mcp add --transport http korean-law-mcp https://mcp.gomdori.app/law`. Requests to legal sources depend on that API key. The server also supports Codex, Cursor and GitHub Copilot.

Ask the assistant to find a statutory article or check a citation to a court decision. Verification depends on the legal reference you provide.
