Built by Ansvar Systems -- Stockholm, Sweden
Por qué existe esto
La investigación jurídica federal mexicana está dispersa entre dof.gob.mx, diputados.gob.mx, ordenjuridico.gob.mx, y las publicaciones de la Cámara de Diputados. Ya sea que usted sea:
- Un abogado validando citas en un escrito o contrato
- Un oficial de cumplimiento verificando las obligaciones de la LFPDPPP o regulaciones del INAI
- Un desarrollador legaltech construyendo herramientas sobre el derecho mexicano
- Un investigador rastreando legislación federal a través de 317 leyes
...no debería necesitar docenas de pestañas en el navegador y búsqueda manual de PDFs. Pregúntele a Claude. Obtenga la disposición exacta. Con contexto.
Este servidor MCP hace que el derecho mexicano sea consultable, referenciable y legible por IA.

Verified data only -- every citation is validated against official sources (dof.gob.mx, diputados.gob.mx). Zero LLM-generated content.
Why This Works
Verbatim Source Text (No LLM Processing):
- All statute text is ingested from diputados.gob.mx and dof.gob.mx official sources
- Provisions are returned unchanged from SQLite FTS5 database rows
- Zero LLM summarization or paraphrasing -- the database contains law text, not AI interpretations
Smart Context Management:
- Search returns ranked provisions with BM25 ranking (safe for context)
- Provision retrieval gives exact text by law name + article number
- Cross-references help navigate without loading everything at once
Technical Architecture:
DOF / Cámara de Diputados --> Parse --> SQLite --> FTS5 snippet() --> MCP response

International Law Alignment
Mexico is not an EU member state. Mexican law aligns with international frameworks through:
- USMCA (T-MEC) -- Mexico, United States, and Canada trade agreement; Chapter 19 on Digital Trade includes data protection and cross-border data flow provisions aligned with international standards
- OECD -- Mexico is an OECD member since 1994; the LFPDPPP was developed in alignment with OECD Privacy Guidelines and the OECD Guidelines on the Security of Information Systems
- OAS (OEA) -- Organization of American States frameworks for cybersecurity and data protection
- Council of Europe Convention 108 -- Mexico's LFPDPPP aligns with Convention 108 principles on personal data protection, even though Mexico is not a signatory
- Ilustre y Nacional Colegio de Abogados de México (INCAM) / Barra Mexicana - Colegio de Abogados -- Professional legal practice regulated by INCAM and the Barra Mexicana
The international bridge tools allow you to explore these alignment relationships -- checking which Mexican provisions correspond to USMCA, OECD, or international data protection principles, and vice versa.
Note: International cross-references reflect alignment and treaty obligation relationships. Mexico adopts its own legislative approach, and the tools help identify where Mexican and international law address the same domains.

Legal Advice
THIS TOOL IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE
Statute text is sourced from the Cámara de Diputados and the Diario Oficial de la Federación. However:
- This is a research tool, not a substitute for professional legal counsel
- Court case coverage is not included -- do not rely solely on this for case law (jurisprudencia) research
- Verify critical citations against primary sources (dof.gob.mx) for official proceedings
- International cross-references reflect alignment relationships, not formal transposition
- State-level legislation is not included -- this covers federal Acts only
- For professional legal advice in Mexico, consult a member of the Ilustre y Nacional Colegio de Abogados de México (INCAM) or the Barra Mexicana - Colegio de Abogados
