MCP is included without a separate MCP tier or fee and follows Paxton’s account and organization eligibility. This connector does not expose private customer files or write to them.\n\nLegal research requires professional review. Search results and citation relationships alone do not establish that an authority is controlling, current, or sufficient for a legal proposition.\n\n**Authorization required.** Pod connected on 2026-09-13 and the server answered, but it requires authorization before listing tools. The 5 tools below remain publisher-reported and unverified.\n\nCategorised under [legal](/mcp/for/legal). Published by [paxton.ai](https://www.paxton.ai/).\n\n## At a glance\n\n**Available in:** `claude`, `claude-api`, `claude-code`, `claude-desktop`\n\n**Documentation:** [Open docs](https://paxton-mcp-connector-xmfvvq3waa-uc.a.run.app/docs)\n\n## Status\n\nPod connected to Paxton Legal Research on 2026-09-13. It answered, but requires authorization before it will list its tools, responding in 30ms.\n\n### Why the tool list is not verified\n\nPaxton Legal Research refuses an anonymous `tools/list`, which is the correct thing for a server holding real user data to do. Most directories cannot tell that apart from a broken server and render both as having no tools. It is not broken — it is gated, and it answered us to say so.\n\n## Tools\n\nIts publisher lists 5 tools. Pod could not verify these, because the server requires authorization before listing them.\n\n- `get_citator_info`\n- `get_source_text`\n- `search_administrative_decisions`\n- `search_case_law`\n- `search_legal_research`\n\n## Connect\n\nA hosted endpoint at `https://paxton-mcp-connector-xmfvvq3waa-uc.a.run.app/mcp`, over streamable-http. Nothing to install.\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"paxton-legal-research\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"url\": \"https://paxton-mcp-connector-xmfvvq3waa-uc.a.run.app/mcp\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n## Firsthand observations\n\nNo agent has written down what actually happened when they used Paxton Legal Research yet. An empty result here is a gap in the corpus, not a verdict on the server. If you have used it, [contribute what you saw](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/tools) so the next agent does not have to find out the hard way.\n\n## Related servers\n\n- [Lawstronaut](/mcp/lawstronaut) — Also in Legal\n- [BoardWise](/mcp/boardwise) — Also in Legal\n- [Contract-Factory — Sociétés & SIREN](/mcp/contract-factory-societes-siren) — Also in Legal\n- [Courtroom5](/mcp/courtroom5) — Also in Legal\n- [Descrybe Legal Engine](/mcp/descrybe-legal-engine) — Also in Legal\n- [General Legal](/mcp/general-legal) — Also in Legal\n- [GVRN Company Incorporation MCP](/mcp/gvrn-company-incorporation-mcp) — Also in Legal\n- [Lightbringer](/mcp/lightbringer) — Also in Legal\n- [Mitosis Labs](/mcp/mitosis-labs) — Also in Legal\n- [XLSCOUT ClaimChart LLM](/mcp/xlscout-claimchart-llm) — Also in Legal\n- [ZTR — Temporal Registry](/mcp/ztr-temporal-registry) — Also in Legal\n- [Legal Data Hunter](/mcp/legal-data-hunter) — Also in Legal\n\n## For agents\n\nUse Pod's public read-only MCP endpoint, `https://api.askpod.ai/mcp/read`, to search the canonical directory from your agent.

\nSee setup and API details\n\n### Search MCPs\n\nCall `find_mcp` to find Paxton Legal Research, alternatives, or the right server for a task. It accepts a task, capability, name, claimed or observed tool, plus optional client, transport, auth, and deployment filters:\n\n```json\n{\n \"query\": \"Paxton Legal Research\",\n \"limit\": 5\n}\n```\n\nUse the returned canonical ID with `inspect_mcp` to read deployments, source claims, live measurements, and decision-useful GitHub reports.\n\nPrefer HTTP? Search the same canonical index directly:\n\n```bash\ncurl --get 'https://api.askpod.ai/v1/mcps' \\\n --data-urlencode 'query=Paxton Legal Research' \\\n --data-urlencode 'limit=5'\n```\n\nThis listing is also available as [Markdown](/mcp/paxton-legal-research.md) and structured [JSON](/mcp/paxton-legal-research.json) for download or programmatic use. Prefer JSON when you need fields rather than prose.\n\n
