Platform · MCP server

Answer legal profile questions from your coding agent via MCP.

Some legal profile questions are only answerable from the code. The MCP server lets the coding agent already sitting in your repository find the evidence and propose the answer, instead of a human guessing at it.

What the MCP server provides

Works with any MCP client

Connect once from your MCP client configuration. Lawcel tools appear alongside other MCP capabilities in whichever agent you drive.

Profile answers grounded in code

An agent can pull the open legal profile questions that a repository can settle and submit each answer with the file and line it found the evidence on.

Human review before anything lands

Submitted answers queue as pending review in Lawcel. Nothing an agent writes reaches your legal profile, or the documents built from it, until a person approves it.

Case and document lookup

List up to 50 recent compliance cases and all org documents from your workspace without switching to the dashboard.

API key authentication

MCP uses the same prefixed API keys managed in Lawcel settings. Revoke a key and that agent loses access immediately.

Complements webhook monitoring

Connected GitHub, Linear, and Jira integrations remain the continuous monitoring path. MCP covers the questions an agent can settle by reading the repository.

Setup

MCP alongside your delivery integrations

Webhook integrations catch changes as they move through your toolchain and open cases when something looks material. What they cannot do is answer a question about how your code actually handles data.

That is the gap MCP fills: point a coding agent at the repository, let it work through the open profile questions, and review what it proposes. Setup instructions and copy-ready config live under Connections → MCP in the Lawcel dashboard.

Create an API key

Generate a key under Connections → API. Every paid plan includes unlimited keys. MCP uses the same keys as the REST API.

Configure your agent

Add the Lawcel MCP server to your client config using the documented command and environment variables.

Review what comes back

Agent answers arrive as pending review in your legal profile with the code evidence attached, so approving one is a read rather than a research task.

FAQ

Any MCP-compatible client works. Lawcel documents a one-line install for the clients that have their own add command, such as Claude Code and Codex, plus a generic JSON config that Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and other stdio MCP clients read.
It can read your compliance cases and legal documents, list the open legal profile questions that are answerable from code, and either submit an answer with file and line evidence or flag a question as needing a human. Everything it submits lands as pending review. The tools do not create or modify cases.
No. Webhook integrations provide continuous monitoring and case linking as work moves through your normal delivery flow. MCP is on-demand from your agent, for lookups and for the profile questions your codebase can settle.
MCP requires an API key. Every paid plan includes unlimited API keys. The Free plan does not include API or MCP access - see pricing for current limits.
