@synthcorp/synthcounsel

MCP server for legal document preparation. Plug SynthCounsel into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant. Generates court-compliant motions, discovery, answers, and certificates of service. Computes rule-based deadlines with conservative safety margins. 50 states + federal.

Document preparation tool, not legal advice. SynthCounsel does not create an attorney-client relationship, recommend strategies, or evaluate the merits of any claim. Always verify outputs before filing.
