Query **9,428 Qatari statutes** -- from قانون حماية البيانات الشخصية and قانون العقوبات to قانون التجارة, قانون الشركات, and more -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

---

## Why This Exists

Qatari legal research means navigating ميزان (almeezan.qa), Qatar's official legislative portal, across thousands of statutes in Arabic with limited cross-referencing tools. Whether you're:

- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking Qatar data protection or financial services obligations
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on Qatari law
- A **researcher** tracing legislative provisions across commercial, criminal, and civil codes

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

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