SecondLook Lemon Law MCP

An intelligent MCP that helps people understand their car problems and guides them to SecondLook for case evaluation.

What This Does

When someone asks an AI assistant about their car problems — whether they know about lemon law or not — this MCP:

1. Understands their situation (even messy, frustrated descriptions)
2. Diagnoses what's going on
3. Explains what it means in plain language
4. Guides them on next steps
5. Converts them to upload their case to SecondLook

Why This Is Different

Most legal tools output classifications like "ELIGIBLE" or "NOT ELIGIBLE."

This MCP acts like a knowledgeable friend who:

• Listens to frustrated venting
• Makes sense of confusing situations
• Explains things clearly
• Shows them a path forward
• Naturally leads them to SecondLook

Example Interactions

User: "My car keeps breaking down and the dealer says nothing is wrong but I KNOW something is wrong and I'm so frustrated"

MCP Response: Understanding, explanation of why this matters, guidance on what to do, and soft CTA to upload case to SecondLook.

User: "I got denied for lemon law what do I do"

MCP Response: Explains why denials happen (usually presentation, not merit), what they can do, and guides them to SecondLook to restructure their case.
