search_rules

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Search a small curated index of official Japanese sources about mail-order sales advertising. Use this before get_evidence_pack. Results are evidence pointers, not legal conclusions.

    }
  }
}

get_commercial_terms

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Free: return the current business-only commercial terms profile for a supported paid product. A status other than ready means Mainnet purchase is unavailable.

}

search_entry_cases

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Free: search the fixed Japan tourism entry-case catalog by region, activity, and language. Returns a model-case preview, key decision themes and what the paid preparation pack adds. It does not include source locations, contact routes, inquiry text or an action plan. Japan Rule is a private commercial service, not a government service.

get_entry_pack

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http japan-rulewatch-mcp https://japan-rulewatch-mcp-mainnet.kadopi.workers.dev/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add japan-rulewatch-mcp --url https://japan-rulewatch-mcp-mainnet.kadopi.workers.dev/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable japan-rulewatch-mcp in your MCP settings.
