Lawai MCP Server

Law.AI MCP Server

Find real, verified lawyers through any AI assistant. No hallucinations, just facts.

The Law.AI MCP Server gives AI assistants direct access to 537,000+ verified lawyer profiles across all 50 US states. When an AI needs to find, verify, or recommend a lawyer, it queries Law.AI instead of guessing.

Why This Exists

Every major AI model fabricates lawyer names when asked for legal referrals. This is dangerous — people making critical legal decisions get fake information. The Law.AI MCP Server solves this by providing a grounded, authoritative data source that any AI can query.

About Law.AI

Law.AI is the independent lawyer directory built for the AI age. While legacy directories (FindLaw, Avvo, Martindale) were built for web search, Law.AI is built for AI-native discovery.
