Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

analyze

analyze_contract

Paste contract text and get an AI risk analysis: red flags, one-sided clauses, missing protections, and questions to ask. Free (2/day). Not legal advice.

checkout

get_checkout_link

Returns the URL where a human can view the preview and pay to unlock the full contract for a draft created with start_contract_draft. Share this link with your user.

contract

list_contract_types

List all contract and legal document types Pactlio can generate, with descriptions, use cases, and USD prices. Start here to find the right contract type slug/id for other tools.

draft

get_draft_status

Check a contract draft from start_contract_draft. Returns "awaiting_human" until a person opens the preview URL, "pending" while generating. When complete, returns the free preview (opening sections), the titles of locked sections, and the URL where a human can pay to unlock the full contract.

intake

get_intake_questions

The questions Pactlio asks to draft a specific contract type — use these to collect the information needed before calling start_contract_draft. Returns fields, types, options, and validation rules.

jurisdiction

get_jurisdiction_requirements

Statute-cited legal requirements, key differences, common pitfalls, terminology, and FAQs for a contract type in a specific US state or country. Use contract slug (e.g. "contractor-agreement") + jurisdiction slug (e.g. "california", "us", "uk", "eu-gdpr").

non

check_non_compete_enforceability

Whether a non-compete agreement is enforceable, limited, or void in a given US state (or DC), with salary thresholds and the key statute. Data covers all 50 states + DC.

start

start_contract_draft

Prepare a contract draft with Pactlio's multi-agent AI engine (drafter, critic, compliance checker). Returns a preview_id and a URL. Generation (3-5 minutes) starts only when a human opens that URL in a browser — share it with your user, then poll get_draft_status. Free preview shows the opening sections; the full contract is unlocked by a human via checkout. Provide deal_summary fields collected via get_intake_questions (at minimum: parties, plus the required fields for the contract type). REQUIRES accept_terms: true — first confirm with your user that they accept the Pactlio Terms of Use and understand the output is an AI-generated draft for review, not legal advice.

Contracts — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Contracts do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: analyze_contract, check_non_compete_enforceability, get_checkout_link, get_draft_status, get_intake_questions, get_jurisdiction_requirements and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Contracts working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 630 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Contracts?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Contracts need an API key?

No. Contracts completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Contracts?

It answers our handshake in 630 ms on average, which is faster than 19% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
