Perplexity

Generate and track legal documents

Use `create_document` to spin up new contracts based on your existing templates. You no longer need to switch tabs to build a new agreement. Keep tabs on your pipeline by calling `list_documents` or checking specific details with `get_document`. Your AI agent handles the heavy lifting while you stay focused on the chat.

Automate signature requests

Trigger the `send_document` tool to fire off a signature request immediately after drafting. It turns a manual task into a single command. Verify your current setup using `list_templates` to ensure you have the right version ready. This MCP Server keeps your legal workflows moving without manual copy-pasting.

Manage your Bounsel account context

Pull your company data into the chat with `get_account_info`. It gives your agent the necessary background to answer questions about your account status. See exactly who has access by running `list_users` to see your team members. You get an accurate view of your Bounsel environment inside Claude Desktop.
