Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {

You can access comprehensive Vietnamese legislation through this MCP server, enabling full-text search and structured retrieval of major laws, decrees, and regulatory texts. It ships with a bundled SQLite database and provides practical, fast access for researchers, developers, and policy professionals who need reliable legal references and cross-referenced information.

How to use

Start the MCP server using your preferred method, then connect from an MCP client or integration that supports the MCP protocol. You can run either a local stdio server or configure a client to launch the server via an executable. Once running, you can retrieve individual articles, perform full-text searches across Vietnamese legislation in Vietnamese and English, and look up cross-references to international frameworks.

How to install

Prerequisites you need to prepare before installation:

Install the MCP package globally so you can run the server from any terminal.

npm install -g @ansvar/vietnamese-law-mcp

Run the MCP server locally in stdio mode.

vietnamese-law-mcp

If you prefer to configure Claude Desktop or a compatible MCP client, use this configuration that launches the package with npx.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vietlaw": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ansvar/vietnamese-law-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Additional sections

Configuration and capabilities to note include the ability to access the full text of key Vietnamese laws, including the Cybersecurity Law 2018, Personal Data Protection Decree 2023, Law on Information Technology 2006, Enterprise Law 2020, Law on E-Transactions 2023, and Law on Protection of Consumer Rights 2023, along with cross-references such as the 2013 Constitution.

Regulatory and data context highlights: data localization requirements, cross-border data transfer considerations, and the fact that Vietnamese is the legally binding language for texts. This MCP provides a practical way to explore these texts and related references.

Development and testing tips: you can run contract tests and validation workflows if you are developing against the MCP server, and you can build the database from sources if you need to refresh or extend the corpus.
