Instantiate document requests in Claude Desktop

The `start_request` tool initiates new document workflows directly from your chat interface using this MCP Server. You tell your agent to kick off an approval, and it triggers the process instantly, mapping your raw text to the right document templates. It pulls active templates using `list_processes` to ensure you always use the correct layout. No more jumping to a browser tab just to start a contract review. Your AI client handles the form fields, associates the correct PDF templates, and sets up the routing path in one step. You get immediate feedback on the state of the new request without manual data entry.

Manage pending sign-offs using this MCP Server

The `list_user_tasks` tool fetches all pending document actions assigned to your team members directly inside Claude. When a deadline looms, your agent queries the server to find out who is holding up the signature. It parses the results to give you a clean, prioritized list of blockers. Once you identify the bottleneck, you use `complete_task` to submit approvals or sign-offs. Your AI client updates the document status on the fly, moving the PDF to the next stage of the chain. You keep projects moving without context-switching between your chat and a dedicated document portal.

Track operational bottlenecks with live reports

The `list_reports` tool exposes active bottlenecks and performance metrics directly to your workspace. Your agent calls this tool to retrieve structured summaries of how quickly documents are moving through your pipeline. It correlates this data with `list_requests` to pinpoint exactly where files are getting stuck. You get a clear view of your operational efficiency without writing SQL queries. By asking your AI client to analyze the output of `get_process`, you quickly spot which templates cause the most friction. This keeps your document operations clean and predictable.
