Documentation

All servers · Buy Pro $19 · All 46 for $39 · Source

Two ways to run it, both free to start. Open mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect, copy the clauses URL and paste it into any client that takes a URL. It already carries a free token, so there is nothing to install, no account and no header to set. The URL is https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/clauses/t/<token>. The token is not optional: the bare https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/clauses connects and lists its tools and then answers every tool call with HTTP 401, so use the link from /mcp/connect or send Authorization: Bearer <token>. Or download clauses.mcpb and double-click it in Claude Desktop.

mcp-clauses

Say "draft a service agreement for Beta Corp, 4,500 EUR, 14-day terms" and get a real .docx built from your own clause library. This MCP server keeps the contract and proposal paragraphs you reuse, scope, payment terms, late fees, IP assignment, confidentiality, termination, liability cap and twenty more, as searchable clauses with {{variables}} in them. It ships with 25 generic freelance starters, finds the right ones by ranked search, fills the variables you supply, leaves every fact you did not supply as a visible bracketed prompt like [late fee percent], and writes the assembled document to Word or markdown. Every document opens with the line that it is a generic template and not legal advice. Everything runs locally: no upload, no account, no native dependency.

In the official MCP Registry (io.github.theluckystrike/contract-clause-library-proposal-template-docx).

Stop pasting last year's contract into a new file and hoping you changed every name.

60-second install

npm publish for @theluckystrike/mcp-clauses is pending. Until then, the .mcpb one-click bundle or a clone+build is the working path, both are verified below.

One-click (.mcpb): download clauses.mcpb from the latest release and double-click it in Claude Desktop: https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers/releases/latest

(claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clauses": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-clauses"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add clauses -- npx -y @theluckystrike/mcp-clauses

(.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clauses": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@theluckystrike/mcp-clauses"]
    }
  }
}

The npx form above starts working the moment the package is published. Until then, use the.mcpb bundle above, or build from source with exactly these three commands:

git clone https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers.git && cd mcp-servers
npm install
npm run build -w packages/mcp-license -w servers/docx -w servers/clauses

Then point your client's command at node with one arg: the absolute path to servers/clauses/dist/index.js.

To run in Pro mode set MCP_LICENSE_KEY in the same config block, or call license_activate once with your key.

This is not legal advice

The 25 starter clauses are generic freelance templates written in plain language. They are not drafted for your country, your trade or your deal, and no clause here has been reviewed by a lawyer. Every starter carries the note generic template, not legal advice, and every document contract_assemble writes opens with the same line. Treat the output as a first draft to take to a qualified lawyer, not as a contract to sign.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
clause_addSave a reusable clause: title, body with {{variables}}, category, tags, optional jurisdiction and language
clause_getReturn one clause in full, by id or by title (a partial title matches)
clause_updateChange the text, category, tags, variables or jurisdiction. In Pro the previous text is kept as a version
clause_deleteRemove a clause. A deleted starter is not re-seeded on the next call
clause_listList every clause, in assembly order, optionally narrowed to one category
clause_searchRanked search over titles, tags, categories and bodies. A title match outranks a body mention; a term matches on a real word boundary ("fee" never matches inside "coffee"), with plain substring containment kept only as a lower-ranked fallback. The jurisdiction filter is free (citing a clause from the wrong jurisdiction is the error this prevents); the tag filter is Pro and is skipped, never refusing the search
clause_importBulk-load from a markdown file (## Title, category: / tags: lines, blank line, body) or from JSON (Pro). Only short, field-shaped lines right after the title are read as metadata, so body prose that happens to open with a word like "note:" is kept as body, not swallowed
clause_exportWrite the whole library to markdown (free) or JSON (Pro). An existing destination is never replaced unless you pass overwrite: true
contract_assembleBuild a document from clause ids or whole categories: orders the clauses, numbers them, fills the variables, brackets what is missing, prepends the not-legal-advice line, writes .docx or .md. An existing out_path is never replaced unless you pass overwrite: true
variables_listEvery {{variable}} a selection of clauses needs, and which clause needs it, before you assemble
license_statusShow free or Pro mode
license_activateActivate a Pro key (verified offline)

Resource: clauses://categories returns every category in the library with its clause count, in assembly order. Prompt: draft_contract picks clauses that fit an engagement, assembles them, and reports the facts still missing.

Pairs with

  • mcp-docx, the document engine this server assembles through. Install both and the same conversation that picks clauses can also write the covering letter and read the client's own .docx back.
  • mcp-invoice, the payment terms you agreed in the contract are the terms you bill on.
  • mcp-recurring, once a retainer clause is signed, the schedule that raises its invoices.

Privacy

Every clause and every assembled document stays on your machine, in ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/clauses/. The server makes no network calls at all. Your licence key is verified offline.

Built by theluckystrike. Support: support@zovo.one

One business profile for the whole suite

Your identity is stored once, at ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/mcp-servers/profile/business.json, and every server in the suite reads it: the invoice issuer, the docx letterhead, the recurring issuer, expense-tracker's default VAT rate, time-tracker's and timezone's home zone, and the resume and contract letterheads. Set it once with business_set (invoice or docx) - you never repeat it anywhere else. An email address is only ever taken from that profile or from an explicit argument; when none is stored, documents show [add: email] and the tool says so rather than letting anyone improvise an address.

First five minutes

Two prompts that scored 3 of 3, measured in round 15, 2026-09-04. Paste one in as it is written.

Find my payment clauses that apply in Poland.

Paste this into Claude with the server connected.

What it did, measured in round 15, 2026-09-04: One clause_search with query, category and jurisdiction PL: FREE per GUARDRAILS_RESULT, and this prompt is the reason it is free.

Assemble a Service Agreement for Beta Corp using my payment and liability clauses, EUR 1500 per month, 14 day payment terms, liability cap EUR 18000. Give me a Word file I can download.

Paste this into Claude with the server connected.

What it did, measured in round 15, 2026-09-04: variables_list first, and the model relayed its most useful output unprompted: neither clause has a fee placeholder so EUR 1,500 will not appear in the document.

On the free tier for this path: Starter set plus 10 own clauses, search with the jurisdiction filter, assembly up to 8 clauses, markdown export.
