SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When you need Korean statutes, articles, precedents, interpretations, or ordinances quickly, manually searching across multiple services wastes time and often fails when a single API or endpoint becomes unavailable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Law and article lookup: Search for statutes and retrieve specific article text.
  • Precedents and interpretations: Find case precedents and official interpretations for a given issue.
  • Ordinance search: Search for local ordinances (자치법규) using the correct query mode.
  • Fallback reliability: Uses korean-law-mcp first, and if it repeatedly fails, falls back to the approved law surface (법망) at api.beopmang.org.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to look up the article you need in Korean law by routing the request through korean-law-mcp first, and only switch to 법망 if the primary path is unavailable.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find specific Korean law article text and related precedents for a policy draft?

To find Korean law article text and precedents, route search queries through korean-law-mcp using tools like search_law and get_law_text. This retrieves specific statutes, case precedents, and official interpretations needed for administrative document research.

Can I search local ordinances and official interpretations using this Korean statute lookup tool?

Yes, you can search local ordinances (자치법규) and official interpretations using the search_ordinance and search_interpretations tool routes. The lookup targets administrative and public-sector research scenarios by fetching these specific legal references directly.

What happens if the primary korean-law-mcp endpoint fails during a statute lookup?

If the korean-law-mcp endpoint fails during a statute lookup, the system applies a fallback to the approved Beopmang (법망) at api.beopmang.org. This ensures reliable retrieval of Korean statutes, precedents, and ordinance data without interruption.

How do I retrieve precedents and official interpretations for a Korean legal issue?

To retrieve precedents and official interpretations for a Korean legal issue, use the search_precedents and search_interpretations tool routes. These fetch relevant case law and official government stances to support policy drafting or public-sector document research.

Does this Korean law search require MCP client connectivity?

Yes, this Korean law search requires MCP client connectivity to function properly. It uses korean-law-mcp as the primary endpoint to route requests like search_law, get_law_text, and search_ordinance for retrieving legal data.

What is the best way to search across multiple Korean legal references at once?

The best way to search across multiple Korean legal references at once is using the search_all tool route. It queries statutes, precedents, interpretations, and local ordinances simultaneously, then falls back to Beopmang if the primary endpoint is unavailable.
