Run payout math inside Claude Desktop

Stop switching to spreadsheets to run legal math. This MCP gives your Claude Desktop app the ability to calculate client net recoveries using the `contingency` tool. You get immediate answers on settlement distributions right inside your chat window without leaving your workspace. The same integration lets you look up standard rates using the `flat_fee` tool. It pulls fixed pricing for common contract types directly into your local workspace, making quick client estimates simple.

Model complex staff rates with this MCP

Planning litigation budgets requires accurate personnel costs. Your agent can calculate costs for an entire litigation group using the `team` tool to aggregate diverse billing tiers. For simpler cases, you can run numbers for a single lawyer with the `hourly` tool. Seniority and hours logged are factored in to output a clean cost projection instantly.

Compare billing structures in Claude Web

Figuring out the exact tipping point between flat rates and billable hours is tricky. Claude Web users can invoke the `fee` tool to compare different pricing models side-by-side to find the most cost-effective threshold. Connecting this MCP to your browser-based Claude client means you can analyze billing structures during client onboarding calls. The mathematical breakdown appears instantly without manual calculations.
