  "markdown": "# Japan Law Search MCP — 日本の法令検索\n\n**Give your AI agent authoritative access to all ~10,000 Japanese laws and regulations.**\n\nThis MCP server searches and retrieves the full text of current Japanese legislation — acts, cabinet orders, and ministerial ordinances — from the official [e-Gov Laws API](https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/) (Government of Japan). Built for legal-tech, compliance, HR, and contract-review AI agents working with Japanese law.\n\n## Why this server?\n\nJapanese statutes are published as deeply nested XML with kanji numerals, era-based dates, and no convenient full-text API surface for LLMs. This server turns that into three clean, token-efficient tools.\n\n## Tools\n\n### `search_laws`\nFull-text search across the body text of every current law (or search by law title). Returns matched snippets, law categories, promulgation dates, and official links.\n\n### `get_law_structure`\nTable of contents for any law: chapters, sections, and article headings. Long statutes (e.g. the Civil Code with 1,000+ articles) are automatically compressed to chapter level to save tokens.\n\n### `get_law_article`\nRetrieve the exact text of any article. Accepts flexible references — `3`, `第3条`, `第三条の二`, `3の2` — and normalizes kanji numerals automatically. Output preserves paragraph and item numbering as clean plain text.\n\n## Example queries your agent can now answer\n\n- 「電子署名法で電子署名が有効とされる条件は？」→ finds Article 3 and quotes it verbatim\n- \"What does the Labor Standards Act say about overtime limits? Quote the exact article.\"\n- 「個人情報保護法の目次を見せて、第三者提供に関する条文を特定して」\n\n## Data source & freshness\n\nOfficial e-Gov Laws API v2 (Government of Japan), fetched live on every call — always the currently enforced revision, including amendments enforced this month.\n\n## Pricing\n\nPay per tool call. One search, one table of contents, or one article retrieval = one event. No subscription, no minimum.\n\n---\n\n### 日本語\n\n日本の現行法令（約1万件）を全文検索し、条文を取得できるMCPサーバーです。巨大な法令XMLをAIが読みやすいテキストに整形し、「第三条の二」等の表記ゆらぎも自動吸収します。リーガルテック・コンプライアンス・労務系AIに最適です。\n\n## Get started\n\nThis is a hosted (remote) MCP server, available on Apify Store:\n\n👉 **https://apify.com/e-asakura/japan-law-search-mcp**\n\nThe store page includes setup instructions for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
