Query **2,249 Latvian statutes** -- from the Fizisko personu datu apstrādes likums and Krimināllikums to the Civillikums, Darba likums, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

---

## Why This Exists

Latvian legal research means navigating likumi.lv, the Latvijas Vēstnesis official gazette, and EUR-Lex for EU implementation status -- across a comprehensive system of codes and regulations. Whether you're:

- A **lawyer** validating citations before the Augstākā tiesa (Supreme Court) or Satversmes tiesa (Constitutional Court)
- A **compliance officer** checking GDPR implementation under Fizisko personu datu apstrādes likums or NIS2 requirements
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Latvian law
- A **researcher** tracing EU directive transposition across 2,249 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 Latvian law **searchable, cross-referenceable, and AI-readable**.
