Run Bounsel workflows from Claude Code

Claude Code lets you manage your contract pipeline directly from the terminal using this MCP Server. You can list your active agreements using `list_documents` and pipe the output to grep or other shell utilities to filter by status. This terminal-first approach means you can script your legal operations. Need to check template details? Run `get_template` directly through your console and get structured output in seconds.

Automate bulk document creation via CLI

Set up cron jobs or shell scripts that use `create_document` to spin up contracts in bulk. Claude Code processes your local data files and feeds them straight into your Bounsel templates. You can verify the created documents by running `get_document` to inspect the generated fields. It makes bulk document generation fast and scriptable without any web interface.

Send signature requests from scripts

Integrate signature requests into your deployment or onboarding scripts. Claude Code uses `send_document` to dispatch agreements to users fetched via `list_users` during your terminal sessions. If a document is sent in error, you can instantly run `delete_document` to retract it. You get complete control over your document distribution directly from your CLI.
