Generate and pull legal agreements in Claude Desktop

The `create_agreement` tool lets Claude Desktop use this MCP Server to build and update your privacy policies or terms of service directly from the chat interface. You don't have to copy-paste text back and forth between a browser and your editor because the server handles the creation directly. If you need to review what is currently live, the `get_agreement` and `list_agreements` tools fetch your active documents instantly. This keeps your legal copy consistent across your site without requiring manual compliance checks.

Manage data subject access requests from your chat

The `create_dsar` tool handles incoming privacy requests by letting Claude Desktop initiate the workflow directly from your conversation. Your AI client pulls active requests using `list_dsars` so you can verify what needs attention. When a user asks about their specific request, you use `get_dsar` to pull the status. This keeps you from jumping into a separate compliance dashboard just to check a ticket.

Audit consent records and vendor lists instantly

The `list_consents` tool retrieves user consent logs directly into your Claude Desktop workspace to verify compliance records. You can check individual consent histories with `get_consent` or log new entries using `save_consent`. Tracking third-party trackers is straightforward when you run `list_vendors` and `get_vendor` to inspect your active integrations. To verify that your connection to the compliance API is active, run `check_openli_status` directly inside the interface.
