MCP tools · 8 exposed · ~947 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
create_apap_agreement_docx ~92

Render APAP Concerto agreement data for an eligible OpenAgreements template as a local DOCX. Returns a path, never inline base64.

NameTypeReqDescription
agreement_dataobjectyesAPAP agreement data carrying the template Concerto $class and field values.
output_pathstringOptional local DOCX output path.
template_idstringyesEligible OpenAgreements template ID.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

fill_template ~98

Fill a template using local OpenAgreements CLI and return local path or inline base64.

NameTypeReqDescription
output_pathstringOptional output DOCX path. Defaults to a temporary location.
return_modestringReturn local file path or inline base64 document data.
templatestringyesTemplate ID, e.g. "common-paper-mutual-nda".
valuesobjectTemplate field values passed to the fill command.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_apap_template ~59

Export an eligible OpenAgreements-authored template as an APAP Template payload and its ready-to-use Agreement.template relationship, preserving canonical source, version, license, and attribution.

NameTypeReqDescription
template_idstringyesEligible OpenAgreements template ID.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_content ~121

Fetch one OpenAgreements content item by its stable content_id (from list_content). Markdown content (practice guides, checklists, surveys) returns the full canonical document plus source/provenance metadata; template content returns the same full definition as get_template under a "template" key.

NameTypeReqDescription
content_idstringyesStable content ID, e.g. "template/common-paper-mutual-nda", "practice_guide/wage-and-hour/us", "checklist/safes/yc-post-money-safe-valuation-cap", or "survey/non-compete/us".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_forms_survey_evidence ~207

Fetch evidence from a published OpenAgreements forms-provider survey (clause-by-clause market benchmarks of real-world forms). Without requirement_id, returns a summary: survey metadata (including as_of freshness), the compared requirements, and the surveyed forms — but no evidence cells. With requirement_id, additionally returns that one requirement's evidence cells across all surveyed forms (verbatim sentence, operative phrase, section, clause id). The complete dataset for each survey is also available as an MCP resource (see resources/list); large surveys approach 1 MB, so prefer this tool when only part of the evidence is needed. Only currently published surveys are reachable; the live listing is discovered from openagreements.org and never hardcoded.

NameTypeReqDescription
requirement_idstringOptional requirement id (from the summary's requirements list) to return that requirement's evidence cells.
topicstringyesSurvey topic slug, e.g. "employment-offer-letter". Discover slugs via resources/list.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_template ~38

Fetch a single template definition with field metadata.

NameTypeReqDescription
template_idstringyesTemplate ID, e.g. "common-paper-mutual-nda".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_content ~244

List all first-class OpenAgreements content — fillable templates, practice guides, RFC 2119-style reviewer checklists, and law surveys — as one paginated compact catalog with stable content IDs in deterministic lexicographic order. Returns lightweight metadata for discovery; call get_content (or get_template) for the full item. Non-template content is served from a local open-agreements repository checkout; when it is not available in this runtime, the affected types are reported under unavailable_types with a reason instead of appearing as silently empty.

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringOpaque pagination cursor returned by a prior call. Omit on the first page.
limitintegerPage size (default 25, max 100).
querystringOptional case-insensitive substring filter matched against content ID, title, description, and topic.
typestringOptional content-type filter: "template" (fillable DOCX templates), "practice_guide" (source-cited legal practice guides), "checklist" (clause-by-clause reviewer checklists), or "survey" (state-by-st…

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_templates ~88

List OpenAgreements templates as a paginated compact catalog. Returns lightweight metadata for discovery — call get_template for full per-field detail. Templates are returned in stable lexicographic order by template_id.

NameTypeReqDescription
cursorstringOpaque pagination cursor returned by a prior call. Omit on the first page.

Common questions

What is the Open Agreements MCP server?

Open Agreements is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.open-agreements/open-agreements. Fill standard legal agreement templates (NDAs, SAFEs, NVCA docs, employment) as DOCX files. This page covers its npm package (@open-agreements/contract-templates-mcp).

Is the Open Agreements MCP server safe to use?

Open Agreements scores 91 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 3 known advisories against it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Open Agreements MCP server expose?

Open Agreements exposes 8 tools: list_templates, get_template, list_content, get_content, fill_template, and 3 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 947 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Open Agreements MCP server still maintained?

Open Agreements is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
