Chilean Law MCP Server

The BCN alternative for the AI age.

Query Chilean legislation -- from the Ley 19.628 de Protección de la Vida Privada and Código Penal to the Código Civil, Ley de Delitos Informáticos, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

Si estás construyendo herramientas legales, herramientas de cumplimiento normativo, o haciendo investigación jurídica chilena, esta es tu base de datos de referencia verificada.

Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden

Por qué existe esto / Why This Exists

La investigación jurídica chilena está dispersa entre la Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional (BCN), el portal leychile.cl, y el Diario Oficial. Ya seas:

• Un abogado validando citas en un escrito o contrato
• Un oficial de cumplimiento verificando obligaciones bajo la Ley 19.628 o la nueva Ley 21.719 de protección de datos personales
• Un desarrollador legal tech construyendo herramientas sobre derecho chileno
• Un investigador trazando la evolución legislativa desde el BCN

...no deberías necesitar docenas de pestañas del navegador y referencias cruzadas manuales. Pregunta a Claude. Obtén la disposición exacta. Con contexto.

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

Example Queries

• "¿Está vigente la Ley 21.719 sobre protección de datos personales?"
• "Buscar disposiciones sobre 'responsabilidad civil' en el Código Civil chileno"

What's Included

Coverage note: The Chilean law database is actively being built. The MCP server infrastructure is production-ready. Provision counts will be updated as ingestion completes. The remote endpoint is live and returns available data.

Verified data only -- every citation is validated against official sources (BCN / leychile.cl). Zero LLM-generated content.

See It In Action

Why This Works

Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):

• All statute text is ingested from BCN (Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional) and leychile.cl
• Provisions are returned unchanged from SQLite FTS5 database rows
• Zero LLM summarization or paraphrasing -- the database contains statute text, not AI interpretations

Smart Context Management:

• Search returns ranked provisions with BM25 scoring (safe for context)
• Provision retrieval gives exact text by law number and article
• Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once

Technical Architecture:

BCN / leychile.cl --> Parse --> SQLite --> FTS5 snippet() --> MCP response
                        ^                        ^
                 Provision parser         Verbatim database query

Traditional Research vs. This MCP

Tradicional: Buscar en leychile.cl --> Descargar PDF --> Ctrl+F --> Verificar en Diario Oficial --> Repetir

This MCP: "¿Qué dice la nueva Ley 21.719 sobre protección de datos personales respecto al consentimiento?" --> Done.

Core Legal Research Tools (8)

International Law Integration Tools (5)

International Law Alignment

Chile is an active member of the Organization of American States (OAS) and a MERCOSUR associate member, participating in regional legal harmonization frameworks.

Chile's new data protection law (Ley 21.719, approved 2024) significantly updates the framework established by Ley 19.628, moving toward GDPR-equivalent standards. The international bridge tools help identify where Chilean law aligns with international standards.

Note: Chile is not an EU adequacy jurisdiction under GDPR, but the new Ley 21.719 substantially modernizes Chilean data protection to align with global best practices. The international tools help identify alignment relationships.

Data Sources & Freshness

All content is sourced from authoritative Chilean legal databases:

• BCN -- Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional -- Official legislative library and research arm
• leychile.cl -- Official consolidated statute portal (BCN)

Important Disclaimers

Legal Advice

THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE

Statute text is sourced from BCN/leychile.cl (official Chilean legal publications). However:

• This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
• Court case coverage is not included -- do not rely solely on this for case law research
• Verify critical citations against primary sources (leychile.cl / Diario Oficial) for court filings
• Ley 21.719 (new data protection law) may have transitional provisions -- verify current status against BCN
• International cross-references reflect alignment relationships, not binding obligations

Before using professionally, read: DISCLAIMER.md | PRIVACY.md

Client Confidentiality

Queries go through the Claude API. For privileged or confidential matters, use on-premise deployment.
