# ClauseAI

Generate startup legal documents from attorney-drafted templates: NDAs, MSAs, DPAs, privacy policies, offer letters, and more. Download PDF, ODT, or Markdown through MCP or an agent skill. No account required.

The gallery, JSON API, MCP server, and agent skill all share the same template engine. Templates come from [General Legal](https://general.legal) and are released under CC0.

## Use with an agent

```bash
npx skills add wasauce/clauseai --skill clauseai
```

MCP (Streamable HTTP, no account):

```
https://clauseai.exe.xyz/mcp
```

GrokBot version:

```
https://x.ai/bot/lBf5ZVjFUDPgn_OVzU8_R
```
