Query **7,982 Cambodian laws** -- from the Law on Telecommunications and the Criminal Code to the Law on Commercial Enterprises, Labour Law, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

## Why This Exists

Cambodian legal research is scattered across the National Assembly website, cambodialawcenter.org, OHCHR Cambodia, and un.org/cambodia. Whether you're:
- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking if a statute is still in force
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Cambodian law
- A **researcher** tracing Cambodian legislation across national and international frameworks

...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 Cambodian law **searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable** in both Khmer and English.
