Query **Dominican Republic statutes** -- from Ley 172-13 on data protection and the Código Penal to the Código de Trabajo and Código Civil -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

---

## Why This Exists

Dominican legal research is scattered across senado.gob.do, camaradediputados.gob.do, and consultoria.gov.do. Whether you're:
- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking whether a statute is still in force
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Dominican law
- A **researcher** tracing legislative developments across the Congreso Nacional

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

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