Read-only MCP server for searching Japanese regulatory updates and generating evidence packs for AI agents.
Scored across 7 tools
Several tools share similar naming patterns (e.g., 'get_entry_pack' vs 'get_tourism_evidence_pack' and 'search_entry_cases'), and the term 'entry' is used in two different contexts (Iya soba vs. Japan tourism). Descriptions clarify purposes, but the potential for confusion remains moderate.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case (e.g., get_commercial_terms, search_rules). No deviations or mixed conventions.
7 tools is a reasonable number for the server's scope, covering search and evidence retrieval for two main domains. Slightly heavy due to the mix of unrelated areas (commercial terms, tourism, mail-order rules), but not excessive.
The set provides search and evidence retrieval for both mail-order rules and tourism entry, plus a commercial terms lookup. Minor gaps exist, such as no direct tool to list all supported products or flow IDs, but core workflows are covered.
Free: return the current business-only commercial terms profile for a supported paid product. A status other than ready means Mainnet purchase is unavailable.
Inputs: product_id (required).
Paid: return the fixed Iya soba entry-preparation pack with sources, contacts, consultation text, unknowns, and next actions. It gives no customer-specific legal verdict. Japan Rule is not a government service.
Inputs: pack_id (required), language (required), buyer_country_code, buyer_business_name, +3 more.
Return a concise evidence pack for one rule ID returned by search_rules. Includes official URLs, scope limits, and no legal-compliance verdict.
Inputs: id (required).
Paid: return official Japanese primary-source URLs, evidence locations, checked dates, source versions, general requirements, traveler-screen checks, and re-check triggers for a complete supported A/B/C flow. This is informational evidence, not a legal verdict.
Inputs: collectsTravelPayment, actsAsContractingParty, handlesCancellationOrRefund, acceptsReservationOnPlatform.
Free: classify a Japan-bound hotel service flow into the supported A/B/C model, list missing facts, and flag manual review. It does not return primary-source evidence.
Inputs: collectsTravelPayment, actsAsContractingParty, handlesCancellationOrRefund, acceptsReservationOnPlatform.
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.
Inputs: activity (required), language (required), region_id (required).
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.
Inputs: query (required), limit.
