Why we included this project

Anyone building legal AI assistants for Korean law runs into a source-accuracy problem: Korea's official statute database is large, and LLMs confidently cite articles that do not exist. This MCP server gives an assistant direct access to that database through a small set of tools, plus a CLI for terminal work, covering statutes, precedents, ordinances, treaties, and administrative rules. The citation verification is what makes it more than a lookup tool. It checks that a cited article actually exists and that the title matches, so a model's fabricated reference fails the check instead of passing silently. It also resolves which version of a law applied at a given time, reports whether a precedent has been overruled, and flags ordinances that need updating when a superior law changes. That is why it is practical for drafting support, contract and dispute review, and compliance checks rather than just document lookup.
