Using MCP

The Pandects MCP is available at https://api.pandects.org/mcp.

Use it inside MCP clients such as Codex or Claude Code to work with merger agreements in plain language.

You can ask your client to find agreements, compare clause language, inspect specific sections, pull tax-related provisions, and use Pandects reference data while you work.

How to Think About MCP​

The Pandects MCP is designed for humans using LLM clients. That means:

  • You ask for the research task in normal language
  • The client decides which Pandects tools to call
  • You review the result, refine the request, and keep going
  • You should not need to manually fetch tokens, API keys, or document IDs from the website just to make the MCP work

What MCP Is Good For​

The Pandects MCP is most useful when you want your client to:

  • Find the right agreement when you know a company name but not the document you need
  • Search section text for a literal phrase or word prefix, optionally combined with deal and clause-taxonomy filters
  • Compare clause language across many agreements
  • Open one section or one agreement for closer reading
  • Pull tax-related language from an agreement
  • Use Pandects taxonomy, counsel, industry, and summary data while researching

Example Prompts​

The Pandects MCP server allows you to interact with Pandects APIs using natural language.

Examples:

  • “Find the merger agreement for Target A and show me the termination and fiduciary-out sections.”
  • “Compare change-of-recommendation language across 2023 public-target deals.”
  • “Find sections containing the phrase ‘reasonable best efforts’ in 2024 deals.”
  • “Search for sandbag* language in representations and warranties, and count both matching sections and distinct agreements.”
  • “Find agreements where Skadden represented the acquirer.”
  • “Pull the tax clauses from this agreement and summarize who bears transfer taxes.”
  • “Show me the section text for this section UUID and explain how it fits into the agreement.”
  • “What clause taxonomy categories should I use for fiduciary-out and no-shop searches?”
  • “Give me the valid Pandects filter values for target counsel and target industry.”

What Your Client Can Reach Through MCP​

Behind those prompts, the Pandects MCP gives your client access to:

  • Agreement search and retrieval
  • Section search and section-level inspection
  • Tax clause extraction results
  • Filter catalogs for companies, counsel, and industries
  • Clause taxonomy and tax-clause taxonomy
  • Counsel and NAICS reference data
  • High-level corpus summaries and trend data
  • A feedback channel (submit_feedback) — your client can report bugs, friction, missing capabilities, and things that worked well straight to the maintainer, and is encouraged to do so during and at the end of a session

You generally should not need to think about exact tool names or tool order unless you are debugging or building a more structured workflow on top of the MCP.
