The Official Gazette of Jordan (الجريدة الرسمية) alternative for the AI age.
Query 62 Jordanian statutes -- from the Cybercrime Law and Penal Code to the Labour Law, Companies Law, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
If you're building legal tech, compliance tools, or doing Jordanian legal research, this is your verified reference database.
Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden
Jordanian legal research means navigating moj.gov.jo (وزارة العدل, Ministry of Justice), legislation.gov.jo, and Official Gazette archives published in Arabic. Whether you're:
...you shouldn't need dozens of browser tabs and manual PDF cross-referencing. Ask Claude. Get the exact provision. With context.
This MCP server makes Jordanian law searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable.
Connect directly to the hosted version -- zero dependencies, nothing to install.

| Traditional Approach | This MCP Server |
|---|---|
| Search moj.gov.jo by statute name | Search by plain Arabic: "حماية البيانات" |
| Navigate multi-article laws manually | Get the exact provision with context |
| Manual cross-referencing between laws | build_legal_stance aggregates across sources |
| "هل هذا القانون لا يزال ساريًا؟" -- check manually | check_currency tool -- answer in seconds |
| Find EU alignment -- dig through EUR-Lex | get_eu_basis -- linked frameworks instantly |
| No API, no integration | MCP protocol -- AI-native |
Traditional: Browse Official Gazette archives --> Locate law --> Navigate articles --> Check EU Association Agreement --> Repeat
This MCP: "What are Jordan's cybersecurity and data protection requirements and how do they align with EU standards?" --> Done.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_legislation | FTS5 full-text search across 5,285 provisions with BM25 ranking. Full Arabic-language support |
get_provision | Retrieve specific provision by statute name and article number |
validate_citation | Validate citation against database -- zero-hallucination check |
build_legal_stance | Aggregate citations from multiple statutes for a legal topic |
format_citation | Format citations per Jordanian legal conventions (full/short/pinpoint) |
check_currency | Check if a statute is in force, amended, or repealed |
list_sources | List all available statutes with metadata and data provenance |
about | Server info, capabilities, dataset statistics, and coverage summary |
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_eu_basis | Get EU directives/regulations that a Jordanian statute aligns with |
get_jordanian_implementations | Find Jordanian laws aligning with a specific EU act |
search_eu_implementations | Search EU documents with Jordanian alignment counts |
get_provision_eu_basis | Get EU law references for a specific provision |
validate_eu_compliance | Check alignment status of Jordanian statutes against EU directives |
Jordan has an EU Association Agreement under the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (the Euro-Mediterranean Agreement establishing an association between the European Communities and Jordan, in force since May 2002). This creates a formal framework for regulatory alignment:
The EU bridge tools allow you to explore these alignment relationships -- checking which Jordanian provisions correspond to EU requirements, and vice versa.
Note: Jordan is not an EU member state. EU cross-references reflect alignment and association agreement relationships, not direct transposition. Verify compliance obligations against the specific applicable framework for your jurisdiction.
All content is sourced from authoritative Jordanian legal databases:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Authority | Ministry of Justice, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan |
| Retrieval method | Official statute downloads |
| Language | Arabic |
| Coverage | 62 statutes, 5,285 provisions |
| Database size | ~7 MB |
A GitHub Actions workflow monitors all data sources:
| Check | Method |
|---|---|
| Statute amendments | Drift detection against known provision anchors |
| New statutes | Comparison against moj.gov.jo index |
| Repealed statutes | Status change detection |
Verified data only -- every citation is validated against official sources. Zero LLM-generated content.

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE
Statute text is sourced from official Jordanian legal publications (Ministry of Justice, Official Gazette). However:
- This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
- Court case coverage is not included -- do not rely solely on this for case law research
- Verify critical citations against primary sources for court filings
- EU cross-references reflect alignment and association agreement relationships, not transposition
- Coverage is selective -- priority statutes only; verify completeness for your specific legal question

We build AI-accelerated compliance and legal research tools for the global market. This MCP server started as our internal reference tool for Middle Eastern and Levantine legal research -- turns out everyone working in the MENA region has the same research frustrations.
So we're open-sourcing it. Navigating Jordanian law in Arabic across Official Gazette archives shouldn't require a law degree.
