Fit and risk
Not for
- Users seeking law from jurisdictions other than South Korea.
- Users without a Korean Ministry of Government Legislation API credential.
- Situations where generated results are treated as a substitute for professional legal review or formal legal advice.
Required permissions
- Requires a Korean Ministry of Government Legislation Open API credential.
- Requires network access to the Ministry API; some precedent-text fallbacks access the National Tax Service precedent server.
- Remote setups require network requests to the MCP endpoint.
Risks and side effects
- Results depend on external APIs and may be affected by authentication, anti-bot controls, network conditions, or service instability.
- The OC API credential is sensitive and should not be exposed in shared configurations.
- Repealed and current laws must be distinguished; historical applicability results should still receive professional review.
Troubleshooting
- Confirm that the OC credential is valid and correctly configured.
- Check Ministry API access requirements involving IP registration, domains, Referer, and User-Agent headers.
- For precedent-text failures, check HTTPS, proxy, and certificate access to taxlaw.nts.go.kr.
- For Claude Desktop remote use, confirm Node.js 18 or later is installed and connect through mcp-remote.
