citation

get_citation

Use this only to cite a page on forms-legal.com (a template page or a fact table) in APA, MLA, Chicago, BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON or DataCite format. Do not use it for articles, books, papers, court cases or pages on other websites. Citations are logged with the cited page path and a keyed hash of the anonymized user ID the app provides (https://forms-legal.com/privacy#api-mcp-plugin).

legal

search_legal_templates

Use this when the user wants a legal form, contract, agreement, notice, letter or template for a specific country or jurisdiction (36 covered; Quebec is listed separately from Canada). Accepts the document name in English or in the local language. Returns matching forms-legal.com template pages with the link, the statute each template references and a short description. Do not use it to give legal advice, to judge whether a clause is valid or enforceable, or to draft a custom document. Templates are reference documents, not legal advice. Searches are logged with a keyed hash of the anonymized user and conversation IDs the app provides; the search text is kept only when no template fully matches, for up to 30 days (https://forms-legal.com/privacy#api-mcp-plugin).
