LegalKit

LegalKit is a Model Context Protocol server that turns Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client into a paralegal-grade legal assistant. Ten tools, one server, designed for lawyers who want intelligent tooling in their workflow without leaving the platforms they already use.

What's Inside

Ten purpose-built tools covering the full lawyer workflow from research through drafting to practice management:

• contract_analyzer — clause-by-clause review with contract-type-aware risk scoring
• contract_generator — drafts NDAs, employment agreements, contractor SOWs, leases, SaaS terms, and more
• case_research — live CourtListener search with jurisdiction filtering and snippet extraction
• statute_lookup — federal and state statutory text via Cornell LII
• legal_deadline_calculator — FRCP and state-specific deadline math with practical notes
• legal_letter_drafter — demand, cease and desist, settlement offers, and responses with auto-enriched RE lines
• deposition_prep — outlines with leading questions per FRE 611(c), impeachment setup per FRE 613
• legal_billing_tracker — audit time entries for vague descriptions, block billing, round-hour entries
• jurisdiction_checker — SMJ, PJ, venue, and choice-of-law analysis with plaintiff-perspective forum ranking
• legal_term_explainer — 150+ legal terms with origin, practice use, examples, and authoritative citations

Common Use Cases

LegalKit handles the unglamorous work that fills a typical week of practice:

• Reviewing a vendor SaaS agreement before signing, with risk flags on indemnification, liability caps, and IP assignment
• Drafting a demand letter for an unpaid invoice with the correct RE line and statutory citation
• Calculating the response deadline after being served with a complaint in federal court
• Preparing for a deposition of an adverse witness with FRE 611(c) leading questions and impeachment setup
• Auditing a junior associate's time entries before sending the client bill
• Researching whether your client can sue in their preferred jurisdiction or whether forum selection clauses control
• Looking up the current text of 42 USC 1983 or California Code of Civil Procedure 425.16 without leaving your editor
• Explaining res judicata to a paralegal in plain English with three real case examples

Who Should Use LegalKit

LegalKit is built for legal professionals who want a fast toolkit, not a full enterprise platform:

• Solo attorneys running general practice or specialized solo firms who need professional tools without Westlaw-tier pricing
• Paralegals doing the prep work behind every motion, deposition, and client meeting
• Small to mid-sized firms (2-15 attorneys) looking to standardize routine drafting and research workflows
• In-house counsel at startups handling everything from NDAs to employment agreements
• Legal aid organizations serving high-volume, lower-complexity matters
• Law students and clerks who need accurate primary source access and term explanations
• Compliance officers and HR managers drafting policies and reviewing standard agreements

LegalKit is not built for: BigLaw firms with existing CoCounsel/Harvey contracts, anyone needing attorney-reviewed deliverables (use a real law firm), or non-lawyers seeking legal advice (this is a tool for professionals, not a substitute for one).

Data Sources and Reliability

LegalKit is built on the same authoritative legal sources that power free legal research:

• CourtListener (Free Law Project) for real-time case law search across federal and state courts, with full opinion text, citations, and jurisdiction filtering
• Congress.gov for federal legislative tracking, bill status, and statutory text
• Cornell LII (Legal Information Institute) for federal statutes, state codes, regulations, and constitutional text
• Curated dictionaries and reference materials for legal terms, contract templates, deadline rules, and procedural frameworks (FRCP, FRE, state procedural codes)

Every tool response cites its sources where applicable. Generated documents include source attribution in the document footer. No fabricated case citations, no invented statutes, no made-up legal authorities — LegalKit pulls from real data or clearly marks output as drafted content requiring attorney review.

Compliance and Disclaimer

LegalKit provides legal information, not legal advice. No attorney-client relationship is created by using this service. Every tool response embeds an explicit disclaimer stating this. All generated documents — contracts, letters, deposition outlines, deadline calculations — include the disclaimer in the document text itself so it travels with the content and cannot be stripped by downstream use.

All output must be reviewed by a licensed attorney before use in any legal matter. LegalKit is a tool that augments professional judgment, not a substitute for it.

Pricing

Free tier available for evaluation: three core tools, 30 requests per month, no credit card required. Pro and Firm tiers unlock all ten tools with monthly request quotas scaled to practice size. Enterprise tier available for larger firms with custom volume needs.
