No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/kr_law_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search South Korean national statutes by title keyword (국가법령정보, Ministry of Government Legislation). Returns each matching law’s id, mst (version id — pass to kr_law_article/kr_law_history), ministry, promulgation/effective dates, and whether it is the current (“현행”) or a superseded (“연혁”) version. BYOK: requires your own OC from open.law.go.kr (Korean real-name verification to register); pass it as _apiKey.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Title keyword, Korean or romanized, e.g. “도로교통법” (Road Traffic Act) or “개인정보”.
`display`	number	no	Results per page, 1-100 (default 20).
`page`	number	no	1-based page number (default 1).
`status`	string	no	Narrow to currently-in-force laws only (“current”) or search as-is (“all”, default). “historical” still returns the general list; filter client-side on the returned “status” field for superseded versions.
`_apiKey`	string	no	Your own OC (Open API user id) from https://open.law.go.kr/LSO/main.do. The Ministry’s public demo id “test” works here for smoke-testing.
