Overview

Why an eDiscovery admin would hand Claude the routine

Opening a new matter in RelativityOne means a chain of admin screens: client, matter, workspace from a template, then group access. With this connector, a system administrator describes the setup in one sentence and Claude runs the steps through Relativity's own tools, under that admin's identity, with each action recorded in Relativity Audit.

A new matter, set up end to end. You ask for a client, a matter under it, and a review workspace. Claude can chain relone_create_client, relone_create_matter and relone_create_workspace, then follows the build with relone_get_workspace_create_job.

Access reviews without the clicking. You want to know who can see a workspace. relone_list_workspace_groups and relone_list_group_users answer, and relone_remove_workspace_group revokes a group's access, a tool Relativity flags for a confirmation.

Usage numbers on request. You want a workspace storage report for Q1. relone_usage_generate_report starts the report, relone_usage_wait_for_report waits for it, and relone_usage_download_report returns the CSV.

No tool on the sheet is described as reviewing documents or searching case data. It's an administration connector, and only system administrators holding Relativity's OAuth Client ID can use it. Nothing runs on its own when a workspace changes. For other platforms we document, see our Integrations hub.

Vocabulary

Five words before you connect

Claude's vocabulary for this connector, in one minute.

Connector
The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while it answers. Here, RelativityOne.
Tool
One named action the connector gives Claude, like creating a matter. Claude picks the ones it needs; the directory sheet lists all 34.
Authorization
The Relativity sign-in screen where you grant Claude access. It's given once per person and can be withdrawn the same way.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before changing something in the account, shown in the chat at the moment it matters.
MCP
The shared standard connectors are built on: it's what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as RelativityOne.
Connect

Connect Relativity to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find Relativity in your connectors

    In Claude, open settings, go through Customize then Connectors, and find Relativity. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable it for the organization before members can sign in one by one.

  2. 02

    Start the connection and sign in

    Click Connect on its row. Relativity sends you to its standard sign-in page, so Claude never handles your password. Disconnect on the same row removes the access later.

  3. 03

    Check what you're authorizing

    Read the authorization screen before accepting. It's Relativity's screen, not Claude's, and it sets what the access covers. Remember the connection acts as you: every change lands in Relativity Audit under your name.

Tools

The 34 tools, split into reading and writing

Relativity gives Claude 34 tools: 22 that read your account, 12 that change something in it.

Twenty-two tools look things up and twelve change your instance. Relativity's own table flags all twelve write tools for a confirmation prompt. Names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

What Claude reads (22)

22 tools

Lookups across the connection, clients, matters, users, groups, workspaces, fields and usage reports.

relone_connection_status

Confirms that Claude is connected to Relativity and shows which instance and which identity the session is bound to: instance URL, tenant ID, sign-in method and your user.

When it helps
you manage several tenants and want to be sure Claude is pointed at the right one before you go any further.

Sourcehelp.relativity.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

relone_list_clients

Pulls every client in the instance, page by page, with name, number, status and creation date. Relativity's own example request is simply to show all clients in your environment.

When it helps
you're cleaning up and want all clients marked inactive in one answer.

Sourcehelp.relativity.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

relone_list_matters

Returns the matters in the instance with their name, number, status, parent client and creation date. You can ask for the ones under a single client.

Sourcehelp.relativity.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

relone_usage_get_metadata

Describes the metric and origin fields you can build a usage report on, listing every one of them so Claude knows what's measurable before any report gets requested.

When it helps
you're not sure which measures a usage report can be built on.

Sourcehelp.relativity.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

relone_usage_list_reports

Lists the usage reports already existing for the tenant. No confirmation applies to it in Relativity's table, since it only reads what already exists. Its answer covers the whole tenant.

When it helps
you want everything generated over the last 30 days, with their names.

Sourcehelp.relativity.com · September 30, 2026 ↗

relone_usage_get_report

Fetches one usage report's metadata and status: ID, name, type, date range and selected fields. It's a quick check, without opening the data inside.

Approvals

What Claude asks you before acting

By default, Claude stops and asks before any action it takes on an account for you. Relativity adds its own layer: its documentation flags all twelve write tools for a confirmation prompt, called elicitation, and none of the read tools.

There's a catch, and Relativity spells it out: elicitation only works in client apps that support it, and where they don't, the tools run immediately without a confirmation. On Team and Enterprise, workspace owners decide whether members may let some actions through without being asked again, and they can cap what the connector may do for the whole organization, for example keep reading and close writing. Claude acts as the signed-in administrator and never sees more than that person can in Relativity.

Plans

Which plans it's available on

None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows availability by plan. Connector by connector, that answer isn't published anywhere, which is a real gap in the catalog.

What is published is the general rule: remote connectors like this one are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, while desktop extensions install on Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner first enables the connector for the organization before members connect individually. For this one's current status, its sheet in the official directory is the reference.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector isn't an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you, and nothing fires on its own when a workspace or a group changes in Relativity.

The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: an administrator can open actions no public sheet shows. The directory's verification badge isn't a security audit, and Anthropic notes on every sheet that it doesn't choose the tools a publisher exposes. This connector is documented by Relativity alone; no Claude help article covers it. Relativity also states that once data leaves its server and enters Claude, it moves to wherever Claude is deployed.

FAQ

Questions about the Claude Relativity connector

01What can Claude do with the Relativity connector?
Claude can run day-to-day RelativityOne administration for a system administrator. Its 34 tools list and create clients and matters, build workspaces from templates and follow the build, manage who belongs to which security group and which groups can open a workspace, inspect object types, fields and choices, and generate, read, download or delete usage reports. Relativity flags every write tool for a confirmation, and each action is recorded in Relativity Audit under the signed-in user.
02Can Claude create, change or delete things in Relativity?
Yes, twelve of the 34 tools write. They create and edit clients, matters and workspaces, add or remove users from groups, grant or revoke a group's workspace access, and generate or delete usage reports. Each of those changes is recorded in Relativity Audit under the administrator who connected. The other 22 tools only read. No tool on the sheet deletes a client, a matter or a workspace; the only deletion it lists concerns usage reports.
03Does Claude ask before changing anything in Relativity?
Relativity's documentation flags all twelve write tools for a confirmation prompt, which it calls elicitation, and Claude's default rule is also to ask before acting on an account. But Relativity warns that apps without elicitation support run those tools immediately, and no source covered here confirms how Claude handles it. On Team and Enterprise, owners can additionally restrict the connector, for instance to reading only, for the whole organization. Relativity's own table marks the 22 read tools with no confirmation at all.
04Which Claude plans include the Relativity connector?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and none of the 819 directory sheets shows it. The general rule: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, and desktop extensions install on Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables a connector before members can sign in. Relativity's page names no Claude plan, so check the connector's directory sheet for its current status.
05Does Claude see everything in our Relativity instance?
Claude sees what the signed-in administrator can see, nothing more, since the connection acts as that person. Relativity also requires the user to be a System Administrator with the granular permissions each operation needs. Only administrators you give the OAuth Client ID to can connect at all. No tool on the sheet is described as reading document content. Relativity Audit also attributes each action taken through the connector to the user who authenticated it.
06Why does creating a workspace through Claude seem to hang?
Because workspace creation is slow by design. Relativity says the call can block for 5 to 10 minutes, with a 15-minute timeout, and asks you not to retry or cancel during that time. Instead, let Claude follow the job with the status or wait tools, or check the workspace list by name to see whether it was created. Relativity itself recommends checking with relone_list_workspaces and the workspace name. Once it exists, it shows up there.
07Claude or an automation tool for Relativity administration?
They suit different jobs, so it depends on the task rather than a ranking. Claude with this connector fits one-off requests an admin makes in plain language, like opening a matter with its workspace or reviewing who can access a production set, and it only acts while you're talking to it. An automation tool fits repeated jobs that run without anyone asking, triggered by events or schedules. The two can live side by side.
