The Ironclad MCP server exposes Ironclad’s Conversational Search as an MCP tool, allowing AI clients to run read‑only, natural‑language searches over contracts.
Note: MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It’s an open standard that lets AI models connect securely to external tools and data sources through a single, shared interface—basically a “universal port” so many different AI clients can call the same tools without custom integrations.
The server lets you run natural-language searches using the same AI engine as Ironclad’s Dashboard Conversational Search, understands complex semantic filters for prompts like “NDAs governed by California law that expire in the next 12 months,” and returns only the results the signed-in Ironclad user is authorized to access. It is read-only, supporting search only and never creating, editing, or deleting data.

- discover the Ironclad MCP tools (like Conversational Search), and
- send authenticated, permission-aware MCP requests to search/read Ironclad contract data from within the AI chat experience.
