You can access a Jamaican law database tailored for cybersecurity compliance through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides fast, reliable retrieval of full-text legislative provisions, precise article-level results, validated citations, and currency checks to confirm laws are still in force, making it easier to perform compliance research and due diligence.

How to use

Connect to the Jamaican Law MCP using either the remote HTTP endpoint or the local stdio option. The HTTP method lets you query a hosted MCP server at a fixed URL, while the local option runs directly on your machine via a command that fetches the MCP service at runtime. When querying, you can search across the full legislation corpus, retrieve article-level provisions, verify citations, and check the current status of laws to ensure you base decisions on up-to-date information.

How to install

Prerequisites: you should have Node.js and npm installed on your computer. You also need network access to reach the remote MCP URL if you choose the HTTP option.

# Option A: Use the remote HTTP MCP URL (no local server required)

# No installation needed if you only plan to use the remote endpoint; you can interact with it directly from your client.

Option B: Run the local MCP server via npm/npx (no installation required beyond running the command):

npx @ansvar/jamaican-law-mcp

Additional notes

Data sources come from the Ministry of Justice Laws of Jamaica portal, including revised statutes, Acts of Parliament, and revised subsidiary legislation, with section-level extraction where machine-readable text is available.

The project is released under the Apache-2.0 license, and you can use either the remote HTTP endpoint or the local npm-based command to access the MCP server.
