Claude Everlaw connectorWhat Claude can do in your Everlaw account.
The Claude Everlaw connector exposes 3 tools, all of them read. 3 read, 0 write, 0 undocumented: Claude runs Everlaw searches, pages through the matching documents and lists a project's binders. Here is what it sees, what it cannot touch, and which admins must act first.

Case documents you can question in plain English
A litigator preparing a deposition normally builds an Everlaw search term by term, then reads hit lists. With the connector, the question goes to Claude in plain English. Everlaw explains that Claude has not ingested the documents beforehand: it relies on keyword and metadata searches (contents, binders, Bates numbers, participants, custodians, dates) to understand them.
Targeted retrieval. A paralegal asks for every email sent by one custodian that mentions a meeting. Claude builds the query and runs it with PostProjectSearch, which returns the hit count, the number of document groups and a search ID.
Reading the hit list. GetProjectSearchResult then pages through the matches with Bates numbers, review links and, on request, metadata or a link to each document's text.
Working from binders. To focus on a curated set, Claude lists the project's binders with GetProjectBinders and restricts its searches to, say, the Important binder before drafting deposition questions.
What it will not do: Everlaw describes the connection as read-only, with no way to change, export or delete documents from Claude, and nothing runs on its own. Claude only searches while it answers you. For recurring exports between systems, see the automation platforms on the Integrations hub.
Five words before you connect
The Claude terms you will meet below, in a minute.
- Connector
- The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while answering you.
- Tool
- One named job a connector opens to Claude. Claude picks the ones it needs on its own; the directory sheet lists them by name.
- Authorization
- Everlaw's own login and consent screen, where you grant Claude its read permissions. Given once per person, revocable later.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before it changes something in an account, shown in the conversation when it matters.
- MCP
- The shared standard behind connectors: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as Everlaw.
Connect the Claude Everlaw connector in three steps
- 01
Find Everlaw in Claude
Open Claude's settings, go to Customize then Connectors, and look for Everlaw. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner must switch the connector on before members can sign in one by one.
- 02
Start the connection
Click Connect on its row and log in on the Everlaw page that opens. If the link breaks later, Disconnect and connect again, or withdraw the access from your Everlaw account.
- 03
Read the authorization screen
Read Everlaw's consent screen before you accept. It is Everlaw's, not Claude's, and it sets what the access covers. Everlaw says it asks for the Platform_read and Data_read permissions, and that the connector then shows Configure instead of Connect.
The 3 tools, and what each one returns
Everlaw gives Claude 3 tools: 3 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.
Three tools, each documented in Everlaw's developer reference. All three read. Names stay exactly as Claude shows them.
- 3 read
What Claude reads (3)
3 toolsThree tools that query a project and change nothing in it.
GetProjectSearchResult
Pages through the documents a search matched, sorted by document ID, with Bates or control number, document ID and review link. Optional flags add metadata, a link to the text and AI-extracted values.
PostProjectSearch
Executes a query in a project and returns how many documents match, how many document groups, a search ID and where to fetch the results. Despite its name, it reads: Everlaw describes the connection as read-only.
GetProjectBinders
Lists every binder in a project with its name, ID and owning user, so Claude can scope later searches to a curated set rather than the whole database.
What Claude asks before acting
By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before any action it takes on an account for you. The request appears in the conversation, at the moment it matters.
On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether a member may let some actions through without being asked again. They can also cap what a connector may do for the whole organization, for example keep reading and close writing, and nobody overrides that from their own account. Claude works with your rights and nothing more: Everlaw states that every action runs with the signed-in user's permissions.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory displays availability by plan. Connector by connector, the answer is not published anywhere: it is a real gap in the catalogue.
What is published is the general rule: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector for the organization before members sign in. Check its sheet in the official directory for the current status. Only Everlaw documents this connector; no Claude help article covers it.
Where this connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude runs these searches while it answers you; nothing fires when new documents are processed into a project.
The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: an administrator can open actions that no public sheet shows, and Everlaw itself lists more tools than the sheet (see below). The partner badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic states on every sheet that it does not pick a publisher's tools or guarantee their behavior. If several Everlaw organizations give you access to projects, you can only search those whose organization has enabled OAuth2.
Which tools does the Everlaw connector give Claude?
- Claude directory sheet ↗2026-10-01Lists 3 tools: search results, run a search, project binders.
- Everlaw help article on using Claude ↗2026-09-17Lists further enabled tools, including a project list, metadata fields, processed uploads, datasets and Deep Dive questions.
What this page followsThe two lists do not match, and neither is marked outdated; the sheet, read on 1 October 2026, is the more recent. This page covers the 3 tools on the public sheet; the list actually enabled for you shows under Settings, Connectors, Everlaw in Claude.
