Query **589 Malaysian federal statutes** -- from the Computer Crimes Act and Anti-Money Laundering Act to the Employment Act, Income Tax Act, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

---

## Why This Exists

Malaysian legal research is scattered across the AGC portal (lom.agc.gov.my), CommonLII, and various government gazettes. Whether you're:
- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking data protection or AML obligations
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Malaysian law
- A **researcher** tracing legislative provisions

...you shouldn't need to navigate multiple sources and PDFs manually. Ask Claude. Get the exact provision. With context.

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