Connect Acquis to your assistant

No setup needed? Just use the web chat — same verified corpus, nothing to install. This page is for plugging Acquis into Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code or any MCP client.

Acquis is a standard remote MCP server — it works in any platform that supports the Model Context Protocol, not just one vendor. One URL everywhere:

https://api.acquislaw.com/mcp

Whichever client you use, the sign-in screen is the same: enter an email and password — this creates your account and starts a 7-day Pro trial (no card).

Claude

  1. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
  2. Paste the connector URL above and sign in when Claude opens the Acquis screen.
  3. Allow the tools when prompted (they are read-only retrieval tools).
  4. Connectors added on the web are available in Claude desktop and mobile too.

ChatGPT

  1. Custom connectors require a ChatGPT Plus or Pro plan (OpenAI's requirement, not ours).
  2. Open Settings → Connectors → Advanced → enable Developer mode.
  3. Create a connector: name Acquis, MCP server URL above, authentication OAuth → sign in on the Acquis screen.
  4. In a chat, enable Acquis from the composer's connectors menu and ask away.

Building on the OpenAI API instead? The Responses API runs Acquis directly: tools: [{type: "mcp", server_url: "https://api.acquislaw.com/mcp", …}].

VS Code, Cursor and every other MCP client

Any MCP client with OAuth support connects the same way — point it at the URL and complete the sign-in. VS Code example (.vscode/mcp.json):

{ "servers": { "acquis": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.acquislaw.com/mcp" } } }

Real questions, not article numbers — your assistant finds the provisions and cites them. Paste any of these:
