## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 80/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 66/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 3984 tokens (~189/item across 21 items; 21 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 21 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 22 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Install

### How do I install the Lifelaw Korean Law (라이프로 법령) MCP server?

Lifelaw Korean Law (라이프로 법령) is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.lifelaw.kr/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Search Korean laws (법령 검색)

Search the laws of the Republic of Korea (South Korea) in force by keyword (name, promulgation and effective dates). Use this first when you do not know the official law name. Korean abbreviations (근기법, 주임법) are expanded to the official name. An English query searches the official English titles and lists each law's Korean and English names. To ask in a sentence, use search_law_by_question.

### `get_article` (~294 tokens)

Get law article (조문 원문)

Get the text of an article of a Korean law in force, verbatim and unedited from the Ministry of Government Legislation (법제처). The law needs its official name, in Korean or the official English title (e.g. 근로기준법, Labor Standards Act). With lang en (default for an English law name) it gives the official English translation, a notice on whether that translation matches the Korean version in force, and the legally binding Korean original. edition 시행예정 gives the article of a promulgated amendment not yet in force (check whether one exists with get_law_status).

### `search_law_by_question` (~148 tokens)

Find articles by question (문장으로 조문 찾기)

Find Korean law articles related to a question asked in a sentence (법제처 intelligent law search). The question must be in Korean, e.g. '전세 보증금을 돌려받지 못하면 어떻게 하나요'. scope 행정규칙 searches the articles of administrative rules (notices 고시, directives 훈령). Less relevant articles may be mixed in, so check the text with get_article.

Input parameters:

- `question` (string, required): Your question as a Korean sentence

### `compare_law` (~292 tokens)

Compare old/new and three-tier (신구법·3단 비교)

Compare a Korean law's articles before and after amendment (신구법), or show the Act, Enforcement Decree and Enforcement Rule side by side (3단 비교, three-tier). kind: 신구법 = old/new text of the latest amendment (changed text in 【 】); 3단 위임 = Act articles with the Decree and Rule articles they delegate to; 3단 인용 = lower-level articles citing the Act article. Three-tier output is long, so choose an article. Korean abbreviations work, and an English law name gets an English answer. With 신구법, edition 시행예정 shows what an amendment not yet in force changes.

Input parameters:

- `article` (string): Show only this article. E.g. 11, 제44조의4
- `edition` (string): 신구법 only. 시행예정: old/new comparison of the amendment promulgated but not yet in force

- `law` (string, required): Name of the Act in Korean or English. E.g. 근로기준법, 주택임대차보호법, 근기법, Labor Standards Act
