Query **11 Ivorian statutes** -- from the Loi sur la Protection des Données Personnelles and Code Pénal to the Code du Travail, Code des Investissements, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

## Why This Exists

Ivorian legal research means navigating jurisconsulte.ci, biblio.cndj.ci (Centre National de Documentation Juridique), and journalofficiel.gouv.ci for official gazette publications in French. Whether you're:
- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking obligations under Loi n°2013-450 on Personal Data Protection
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Ivorian law
- A **researcher** tracing provisions across Ivorian statutes

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