An MCP server for Japan's official e-Gov law search API (laws.e-gov.go.jp), run by the
Digital Agency. It searches, fetches, and cites national legislation - acts, cabinet orders,
ministerial ordinances - with a verifiable citation on every response.
Part of the MateMatic eu-legal-mcp production line, extended into Asia. Same citation contract
(a stable identifier + a human-readable citation + a source URL) as the 18 EU/EEA connectors,
adapted for a jurisdiction with no ELI scheme.
Scope. Discovery is by law title (
jp_search_laws) or full-text keyword (jp_search_by_keyword); fetch a specific article (jp_get_article) or the full text (jp_get_full_text, truncated for very large laws such as the Civil Code). Every response carries adataset_note.Licence. e-Gov law data is official public information published by the Japanese government as open data (keyless, REST/JSON). This connector relays it with attribution and a
source_url.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
jp_search_laws | Search laws by (partial) title. |
jp_search_by_keyword | Full-text search across all laws, with highlighted snippets. |
jp_get_law | Metadata for a law by law_id: title, law number, promulgation date. |
jp_get_article | The text of one article of a law, by law_id and article_num. |
jp_get_full_text | The full text of a law (truncated at ~300,000 characters). |
Every response carries the contract: eli_uri (Japan has no ELI - this is the durable e-Gov
viewer URL, e.g. https://laws.e-gov.go.jp/law/129AC0000000089, see eli_note),
human_readable_citation (e.g. 民法(明治二十九年法律第八十九号)), and source_url (the
machine-readable API URL).
Not yet on PyPI - install from source until the first release ships:
git clone https://github.com/matematicsolutions/jp-eli-mcp
