Avokata
Setup

One address into your assistant's settings

Your assistant cannot do this part for you: no app lets a conversation change its own settings. You do it once and never come back.

Endpoint live

https://mcp.avokata.com/mcp

Transport: streamable HTTP. Leave every authentication field empty. No account, email or key needed first. For agents: start.md. Before connect you can try search_law or search_practice: five searches a day with no account.

Pick your app

The menu names are the ones in today's versions. These apps move them, so the last section says what to do when they no longer match.

Claude (web or desktop)

Claude takes an install link: it opens the add-connector dialog with the name and address already filled in. You confirm. The link opens in the browser; remote connectors live on the Claude account, so the same tool then shows in the desktop app and in Cowork.

Add Avokata to Claude

If the link does not open: Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. In the desktop app the same button is under Customize, beside the + next to Connectors. Name it Avokata, paste the address above, leave every authentication field empty, save.

Two places people get stuck. On the free plan Claude allows exactly one custom connector, so remove the other one first if you have one. And Claude connects from Anthropic's servers rather than from your laptop, so your VPN and firewall are not involved.

ChatGPT

There is a step before it: turn on developer mode. Settings, then Security and login, then Developer mode. OpenAI has moved that toggle more than once, so if it is not there look under Settings, Connectors, Advanced.

Then Settings, Connectors, Create. Name it Avokata, paste the address above, authentication none.

Not on the free plan. Custom connectors need Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Education. If you would rather not pay to try us, Claude's free plan does allow one.

Claude Code

One command, then carry on in the same session.

claude mcp add --transport http avokata https://mcp.avokata.com/mcp

Cursor

Cursor takes an install link, which opens Cursor with the server already filled in.

Add Avokata to Cursor

Zed, VS Code, Goose, Windsurf, Codex and the rest

Zed: Settings, AI, MCP Servers, Add Server, Add Remote Server.

VS Code: command palette, MCP: Add Server, the HTTP option. It writes .vscode/mcp.json for you.

Goose: goose configure, then Add Extension, then Remote Extension (Streaming HTTP).

Windsurf and anything else with a JSON config: an mcpServers entry named avokata, type http, the address above.

Codex: TOML rather than JSON: [mcp_servers.avokata] with a url field.

Choose the remote or HTTP option everywhere, never a local or stdio one: Avokata is a hosted server, not a package to install.

How you know it worked

Go back to your chat and write one line, or try a search before connect.

Avokata is connected. Connect and tell me what is in there.

What happens

Search or connect

search_law and search_practice work with no account (five calls a day). When you need to read articles, follow citations or keep a matter profile, your assistant calls connect with no fields; then every tool appears.

What you should see

A number, not an apology

Ask how many rulings and acts Avokata holds. If it says it has no such tool, the connector did not save.

Next time

The key is optional

connect also returns a key. It only matters if you want the next conversation to start already connected. If there is nowhere to put it, just connect again. To rotate or revoke a saved key, use list_api_keys and revoke_api_key on the prefix shown.

What you will find inside

The same table as the front page, and the same figures: they are read from the corpus when you open the page.

Four questions, and what the tools return

The questions are typed the way a lawyer types them. A person read and confirmed the answering provisions, and the timings come from a call to the running service.

An insolvency lawyer

These are citations, not endorsements. Whether the citing court agreed, distinguished or departed from this is not recorded yet, so this answers 'who has engaged with it', not 'is it still good law'.

If it will not connect

These apps rearrange their menus without announcing it, and this page is then wrong until somebody tells us. You are not doing it wrong.

Write to hello@avokata.com with the app you are using and what you see. During the beta you get a person.

If your assistant can open a link, give it avokata.com/start.md or skill.md: the same steps, written for it rather than for you.

A key for continuity

Optional. It only makes the next conversation start already connected, and it is issued instantly.

A key for continuity (optional)

When we open wider

One message when founders' beta ends and we open to everyone. The tools already work: connect above. No more than that.

Who can read matter data: no admin console; matter profiles and workflows are reachable only through your connection; we do not browse customer matters in normal operation. Support opens only what is needed for your question.
