Query **62 Cameroonian laws** -- from the Data Protection Law and Cybersecurity Law to the Penal Code, OHADA Company Law, Electronic Commerce Law, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

Cameroon operates a unique bijural legal system: civil law in the francophone regions and common law in the anglophone regions. This MCP serves both.

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

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

## Why This Exists

Cameroonian legal research spans spm.gov.cm, the Journal Officiel (available via camer.be), OHADA portal, and scattered ministry publications -- in both French and English. Whether you're:

- A **lawyer** (avocat / barrister) validating citations in a memo or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking Data Protection Law obligations or Cybersecurity Law requirements
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Cameroonian or OHADA law
- A **researcher** tracing provisions across Cameroon's bijural legislative corpus

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

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