Who it is for
Lawyers, paralegals, and researchers who need to reach and verify primary US legal sources.
Descrybe Legal Engine
US primary law research and citation checking
Overview
What Descrybe Legal Engine does
Descrybe Legal Engine handles United States primary law from inside a conversation. It searches for authority on a question, resolves a citation to the case it points at, and pulls back case details together with the source passages a claim rests on.
Two checks that matter in legal work are covered. One is treatment: how later courts have handled a case, and which authorities cite it. The other is quotation, confirming that a line of text appears in the source as written.
The stated users are legal professionals and serious researchers who need to reach primary sources and read them, not summaries standing in for the record. Descrybe.com publishes the app.
What stands out
It covers citation resolution, case treatment, and quote verification, not search alone.

Where Descrybe Legal Engine is listed
Descrybe ships this on both marketplaces: Descrybe Legal Engine is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Descrybe Legal Engine publishes 13 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 54.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one runs one tool above its bucket's median and ranks 224th of 462 by tool count.
It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory.
Measured against the live endpoint
A direct call to the endpoint returned 13 tools, matching the 13 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.

Descrybe Legal Engine publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Descrybe Legal Engine carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
How Descrybe describes it
The Descrybe Connector gives Claude access to legal research tools for working with primary law. It can help analyze a research question, search cases by legal concept or exact wording, find cases from citations or messy references, extract authorities from pasted text, retrieve summaries, case PDFs, and focused opinion passages, search statutes and regulations, check case treatment status, find citing cases, and verify quoted language against known cases.
