Query **4,797 UAE federal laws and regulations** -- from the Personal Data Protection Law and Cybercrimes Law to the Federal Penal Code, Commercial Companies Law, and Electronic Transactions Law -- directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

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

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

## Why This Exists

UAE legal research means navigating mohre.gov.ae, legislation.gov.ae, uaelegislation.gov.ae, and free-zone portals like DIFC and ADGM separately. Whether you're:

- A **lawyer** validating citations in a brief or contract
- A **compliance officer** checking PDPL obligations or DIFC Data Protection Law requirements
- A **legal tech developer** building tools on UAE federal or free-zone law
- A **researcher** tracing provisions across 4,797 federal instruments

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

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