Query **66 Israeli statutes** -- from the Privacy Protection Law and Data Security Regulations to the Penal Law, Companies Law, and Electronic Signature Law -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

---

## Why This Exists

Israeli legal research spans Knesset publications, Nevo.co.il, laws.gov.il (מאגר החקיקה הלאומי), and official Reshumot gazette entries. Whether you're:

- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking Privacy Protection Law obligations or Data Security Regulation requirements
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Israeli law
- A **researcher** tracing provisions across Knesset statutes

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

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