Get started with the NyayAssist MCP connector

What it is#

NyayAssist is a research and drafting platform for advocates practising Indian law. The connector is a secure bridge, hosted by NyayAssist, between your NyayAssist account and the AI app you already use. There is nothing to install or host: you add one web address to your app and sign in with your NyayAssist login.

Everything happens in your own NyayAssist account and follows your plan, exactly as in the NyayAssist web app. Work you create through the connector, such as a draft or a research answer, also appears in the web app.

Who it is for#

• Advocates and law firms who want NyayAssist research and drafting in the same chat where they already think through a matter.
• In-house legal teams who already use NyayAssist for research, drafting and due diligence.
• Legal technologists who use coding assistants such as Cursor or VS Code and want NyayAssist tools alongside them.

You need a NyayAssist account. You can create one at nyayassist.ai.

Quick start in three steps#

1. Copy the server address

   Server address: https://mcp.nyayassist.ai/mcp

   This one address works for every NyayAssist plan.

2. Add it to your AI app

   Add NyayAssist as a connector (Claude, ChatGPT) or MCP server (Gemini CLI, Cursor, VS Code). Step-by-step instructions for each app are below.

3. Sign in and ask

   Your app opens the NyayAssist sign-in page. Sign in with the account you use on nyayassist.ai and approve access. Then ask, for example:

   Using NyayAssist, find Supreme Court judgments from the last five years on adverse possession and summarise the three most relevant.

Set up your app#

Choose your app for exact steps. Menu names in third-party apps can change between releases; if a label differs, look for the nearest equivalent.

NyayAssist Enterprise#

NyayAssist Enterprise customers: your organisation receives its own setup instructions from your NyayAssist account team.

What you can do#

Legal Library

Search reported Indian judgments and central and state Acts, and fetch their details and summaries.

Research

Ask a legal question and get an answer citing Indian judgments and Acts, optionally grounded in one of your matters.

Drafting

Create a draft from instructions, optionally using a matter's facts, then revise it. Every revision is a new version.

Matters and documents

List and read your matters and their documents, create matters, and add or upload documents.

Translation and OCR

Translate a document into English or one of nine Indian languages, and make scanned documents searchable.

Due diligence

Create due-diligence projects, add documents and run reports.

Workflows

Run your NyayAssist workflows on a matter and follow their progress.

Meetings

Send a notetaker to a Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call, or process a recording into meeting notes.

Things to ask

List the documents in my matter 'Sharma v. State' and tell me the key dates in the charge sheet.

Draft a reply to a legal notice for non-payment of rent under a leave and licence agreement, using the facts in my matter 'Verma Tenancy'.

Translate the order I uploaded yesterday into Marathi.

Start a key-issues due-diligence report on the 'Acme Acquisition' project.

The full list of 44 tools is in the tools reference.

What it cannot do#

• Delete, overwrite, share or send. No tool deletes anything, shares or invites, sends email, routes for e-signature, or changes billing or settings. Revising a draft always creates a new version.
• Approve a workflow step. At a workflow review step the connector can only reject or cancel; approval is given in the NyayAssist web app.
• Return full texts of judgments, Acts, transcripts or due-diligence reports. You get details and summaries; read the full text in the web app.
• Give legal advice. Output is research and drafting support for a qualified advocate to verify.

The one tool that reaches outside NyayAssist on its own is start_meeting: it sends a NyayAssist notetaker into the Google Meet or Microsoft Teams call you give it. The notetaker joins as a visible participant and records, so use it only for calls you are entitled to record.

Plans and usage#

• The connector is available on every NyayAssist plan at no extra charge. Your AI app may have its own plan requirements for custom connectors.
• Tools that create work (research, drafts, translations, OCR, matters, uploads, due diligence, workflow runs and meetings) use the same allowances as the web app. Reading and listing your existing material does not.
• Ask your assistant to check my NyayAssist plan and usage before a long piece of work. It runs get_my_plan_and_usage and shows what is left.
• A feature that is not on your plan stays listed, and using it returns a clear message instead of a result.
• Long work, such as research or a draft, may run as a job. Your assistant checks on it and fetches the result when it is ready. Asking for the same work again while it runs would use your allowance twice.

Plans and pricing: nyayassist.ai/pricing.

Privacy and security#

• Your NyayAssist login, no API keys. You sign in on the NyayAssist sign-in page. Your AI app never sees your NyayAssist credentials.
• Only your own data. The connector sees only what your account can see: your matters, documents, drafts, research and other work, plus the shared Legal Library.
• Create, never delete. Nothing can be deleted, shared or sent through the connector.
• Documents are data, not instructions. Text from judgments, Acts and your documents is clearly marked so the assistant does not follow instructions hidden inside it.
• Your data stays in your NyayAssist account, handled under the NyayAssist Privacy Policy. Content returned to your AI app is also processed by that app's provider under its own terms.

Disconnect NyayAssist in your app at any time to end its access. Details: Security and privacy.

Research support, not legal advice#

NyayAssist output is research and drafting support for a qualified advocate to verify. It is not legal advice and not a finished filing. Check every citation, section number and date against the source before relying on it.

Help and support#

• TroubleshootingSign-in problems, missing matters, limits and jobs.
• FAQShort answers to common questions.
• Email supportsupport@nyayassist.ai. Include your app's name, the time and the message you saw.

Technical details#

For developers and IT teams. You do not need any of this to use the connector.
