Read-only tools. Claude can look up contracts, counterparties, templates, legal intakes, and approval statuses, but cannot change anything in SpotDraft.

Add SpotDraft from the connector directory and sign in.

Read and write tools. Claude can also upload contract versions, send contracts to counterparties, create approval requests, add comments, and manage legal intakes.

Use SpotDraft in a conversation

These steps are the same for both options.

  3. Ask Claude about your contracts, counterparties, legal intakes, approval statuses, and more.


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=true from 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.
