Things to know
Permissions carry over. Claude can only see the contracts and data that you can access in SpotDraft.
Write mode is opt-in. It adds tools to upload a contract version, send a contract to counterparties, create approval requests, add contract comments, and create, update, or delete legal intakes. Claude runs these only when you ask it to. Legal intake tools need access to the Legal Intake module.
Write mode applies to everyone using the custom connector. The connector is added once for the organization, so turn on write mode only if the people using it need it. To go back to read-only, remove
?enable_write=truefrom the server URL or use the directory connector.
FAQs
Which option should I use?
Use the Claude directory if you only need Claude to find and read information in SpotDraft. Use a custom connector with write mode if you want Claude to act, such as sending a contract or adding a comment.
Claude says it cannot complete an action in SpotDraft. What should I do?
Check that you are using a custom connector with ?enable_write=true in the server URL. Without write mode, the SpotDraft server rejects write actions with a 403 error that explains how to turn write mode on.
Where can I learn what the SpotDraft MCP Server can do?
