Query **1,516 Bangladeshi statutes** -- from the ডিজিটাল নিরাপত্তা আইন and দণ্ডবিধি to the তথ্য ও যোগাযোগ প্রযুক্তি আইন, কোম্পানি আইন, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

## Why This Exists

Bangladeshi legal research means navigating bdlaws.minlaw.gov.bd, the Ministry of Law's official portal, across statutes spanning colonial-era laws and modern legislation in both Bengali and English. Whether you're:

- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking Digital Security Act obligations or data protection requirements
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Bangladeshi law
- A **researcher** tracing legislative provisions across criminal, civil, commercial, and digital law

...you shouldn't need dozens of browser tabs and manual cross-referencing. Ask Claude. Get the exact provision. With context.

This MCP server makes Bangladeshi law **searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable**.
