The MCP gateway

Expose LexCore's verified capabilities as Model Context Protocol tools any AI host can call — without bypassing CitationGate.

The MCP gateway exposes LexCore capabilities — review, extract, compare, redline, verify, research — as Model Context Protocol tools, so any MCP host (Claude, Cursor, and others) can call the verified backend. It turns the emerging "legal skills marketplace" into a distribution channel: a shallow skill that calls these tools inherits LexCore's whole verification story.

  • Implements the core JSON-RPC methods (initialize, tools/list, tools/call) over a transport-agnostic handler.
  • Non-negotiable guardrail — every tool that carries a legal proposition routes through the engine, so CitationGate and the supervision policy apply. An MCP host cannot use LexCore to get an ungrounded answer.

Note

The gateway is live; consuming third-party MCP servers (for connectors) and the official SDK transport are follow-ons.

Verification Guarantee: LexCore rejects any AI assertion it cannot mathematically trace to character offsets within the source agreement. It serves as a mechanical review assistant and does not constitute formal legal advice. For technical architecture details, see the Security & Trust Center.
