Query Ecuadorian law -- from the Ley Orgánica de Protección de Datos Personales (LOPDP) and the Código Orgánico Integral Penal (COIP) to the Código Civil, Código de Comercio, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

---

## Why This Exists

Ecuadorian legal research means navigating lexis.com.ec (Ecuador's official legal database), the Registro Oficial (registroficial.gob.ec), and scattered PDF publications from the Asamblea Nacional. Whether you're:

- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking obligations under the LOPDP or the COIP
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Ecuadorian law
- A **researcher** tracing legislative provisions across codigos organicos and leyes organicas

...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 Ecuadorian law **searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable**.
