Korea Law (National Law Information Center) + ChatGPT
Official Open API of Korea's National Law Information Center (법제처 국가법령정보센터): statutes and articles, court precedents, Constitutional Court decisions, statutory interpretations, administrative rules, local ordinances, legal terms and English translations.
Prerequisites
See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:
KOREA_LAW_OC
Step 1 — Get credentials
Access is free but needs an approved application, which takes 1 to 2 days.
- Create an account at https://open.law.go.kr and apply for the OPEN API (OPEN API → OPEN API 신청). Tick every API you want to use: laws (법령), precedents (판례), interpretations (법령해석례), administrative rules (행정규칙), local laws (자치법규), Constitutional Court decisions (헌재결정례), legal terms (법령용어) and English laws (영문법령). Calls to an API you did not tick are refused.
- In the application, register the public IP address and domain of the server that calls the API; they are checked on every call. Self-hosted, that is your server's public IP; on AnythingMCP Cloud, contact support for the outbound address to register.
- After approval, put your OC in
KOREA_LAW_OC: the part before the @ of the e-mail address you registered (for[email protected]enterg4c). It is sent as theOCquery parameter. - Start with
korea_law_search_lawsand a law name, thenkorea_law_get_lawwith its law ID and an article. For case law, usekorea_law_search_precedents, thenkorea_law_get_precedent.
Errors arrive with HTTP 200, so read result and msg first: 사용자 정보 검증에 실패하였습니다 (user verification failed) means the OC is wrong, the application is not approved yet, or the server's IP or domain is not registered. Search words are Korean; the English laws search also accepts English. Full statutes are large (the Civil Act is over 700 KB), so request single articles: 6 digits, Article 3 is 000300 and Article 10-2 is 001002. The Korean text is the binding one, and published content must credit 법제처 국가법령정보센터.
Step 2 — Install the adapter
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d
Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT
Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide showsYOUR_SERVER_ID.
ChatGPT connects to MCP servers as custom apps in developer mode, available on paid plans (not on Free). On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin may have to allow it first.
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
- Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +.
- Enter a name and a short description, e.g. Name:
Korea Law (National Law Information Center). - Under Connection, enter the MCP server URL
https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_IDand create the connection. - When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP (OAuth) and allow access.
