Model Dispute Costs in Chat

This MCP lets you calculate potential arbitration expenses without leaving your chat window. You can run cost scenarios for different providers to see how fees stack up. Just ask your agent to use `calculate_aaa_costs` with a given claim amount, or compare it against JAMS with `calculate_jams_costs`. The tool returns a breakdown of administrative fees, arbitrator compensation, and other line items.

Compare Arbitration vs. Litigation in Claude Desktop

Deciding between arbitration and court is about more than just filing fees. This tool helps you weigh the total financial picture. Use `calculate_icdr_costs` for international disputes, then run `compare_to_litigation` with the same parameters. Your AI client gets back a side-by-side cost projection, helping you make a data-backed decision for your client or company.
