The Nepal Law Commission alternative for the AI age.
Query 696 Nepali statutes -- from the Muluki Penal Code and Individual Privacy Act to the Labour Act, Company Act, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
If you're building legal tech, compliance tools, or doing Nepali legal research, this is your verified reference database.
Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden
Nepali legal research is scattered across lawcommission.gov.np, moljpa.gov.np (Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs), and parliamentary archives. 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 Nepali law searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable.
Connect directly to the hosted version -- zero dependencies, nothing to install.

| Traditional Approach | This MCP Server |
|---|---|
| Search lawcommission.gov.np by act name | Search by plain language: "data protection consent" |
| Navigate multi-chapter statutes manually | Get the exact provision with context |
| Manual cross-referencing between laws | build_legal_stance aggregates across sources |
| "Is this statute still in force?" -- check manually | check_currency tool -- answer in seconds |
| Find international alignment -- dig manually | get_eu_basis -- linked frameworks instantly |
| No API, no integration | MCP protocol -- AI-native |
Traditional: Browse lawcommission.gov.np --> Download PDF --> Ctrl+F --> Cross-reference acts --> Repeat
This MCP: "What are the consent requirements under Nepal's Individual Privacy Act?" --> Done.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_legislation | FTS5 full-text search across 47,513 provisions with BM25 ranking |
get_provision | Retrieve specific provision by act name and section 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 Nepali 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check_currency | Check if a statute is in force, amended, or repealed |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 international frameworks that a Nepali statute aligns with |
get_nepali_implementations | Find Nepali laws aligning with a specific international framework |
search_eu_implementations | Search international documents with Nepali alignment counts |
get_provision_eu_basis | Get international law references for a specific provision |
validate_eu_compliance | Check alignment status of Nepali statutes against international standards |
Nepal is not an EU member state, but Nepali legislation aligns with key international frameworks:
Nepal's legal system follows a civil law tradition influenced by Hindu jurisprudence, with statutes enacted in Nepali (Devanagari script) and official English translations provided by the Law Commission.
The international alignment tools allow you to explore these relationships -- checking which Nepali provisions correspond to international standards, and vice versa.
Note: International cross-references reflect alignment and shared principles, not direct transposition. Nepal adopts its own legislative approach, and the tools help identify where Nepali and international law address similar domains.
All content is sourced from authoritative Nepali legal databases:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Authority | Nepal Law Commission |
| Retrieval method | Official statute downloads from lawcommission.gov.np |
| Languages | Nepali (Devanagari) and English |
| Coverage | 696 statutes, 47,513 provisions |
| Database size | ~79 MB |
A GitHub Actions workflow monitors all data sources:
| Check | Method |
|---|---|
| Statute amendments | Drift detection against known provision anchors |
| New statutes | Comparison against Law Commission 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 Nepal Law Commission official publications. 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
- International cross-references reflect alignment relationships, not transposition
- Bilingual system -- statutes are available in Nepali and English; verify Nepali text against official Law Commission publications

We build AI-accelerated compliance and legal research tools for the global market. This MCP server started as our internal reference tool -- turns out everyone building for South Asian markets has the same research frustrations.
So we're open-sourcing it. Navigating 696 statutes in both Nepali and English shouldn't require a law degree.
