MCP Tools

Integrate Midpage's legal database with AI assistants using the Model Context Protocol.

Note: MCP tools currently support court opinion research. Statute and regulation tools are coming soon.

Setup

For trying out the MCP in Claude or Cursor you can create a free trial account at app.midpage.ai. Then add app.midpage.ai/mcp to Claude or Cursor.

For production use cases contact our team - we can setup an OAuth integration.
