TCLP Knowledge Graph MCP¶
The Chancery Lane Project (TCLP) Knowledge Graph MCP is a connector that gives AI assistants like Claude searchable access to TCLP's knowledge graph: a curated body of climate-aligned contract clauses, glossary terms, and practical guides. Think of it as a Swiss Army knife of TCLP tools — search, explore, and understand the taxonomy — all from inside the assistant you already use. It is read-only: the connector searches and returns content, and never changes anything.
It won't replace a lawyer, or the experience and judgement you bring. But it clears the boilerplate and the initial drafting: surfacing relevant clauses, comparing and benchmarking content you want to make more sustainable, and helping you spot where there might be greenwashing risk or where an obligation to cut emissions lacks teeth — so you can spend your time on the work that needs you.
Quick install¶
Add the connector in Claude using its Streamable HTTP URL:
https://mcp.chancerylaneproject.org/mcp
That's it — no API key needed to try it out. Connections with no key of their own use a shared public key, so you can connect and start searching straight away.
Getting a key of your own
A named key is available for legaltech platforms and law firms integrating the connector into their own tools — it gives higher rate limits than the shared public key and lets TCLP attribute usage to your organisation. You'll still need to complete the form below; a key isn't required just to test the connector.
