Query **1,622 Bahraini laws** -- from Personal Data Protection Law No. 30 of 2018 and the Penal Code to the Labour Law for the Private Sector, Commercial Companies Law, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

If you're building legal tech, compliance tools, or doing Bahraini legal research, this is your verified reference database.

Built by [Ansvar Systems](https://ansvar.eu) -- Stockholm, Sweden

## Why This Exists

Bahraini legal research means navigating legislation.gov.bh, the Ministry of Justice and Islamic Affairs portal (moj.gov.bh), and the Legal Affairs Directorate (legalaffairs.gov.bh). Whether you're:

- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking obligations under the Personal Data Protection Law or the Financial Institutions Law
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Bahraini law
- A **researcher** tracing legislative provisions across royal decrees and law articles

...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 Bahraini law **searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable**.
