## How it works

Open Agreements is a free, open-source MCP server. Connect it once, then ask any compatible AI agent to fill a template.

Step 1

### Connect

Add the hosted MCP server to Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or any MCP-compatible coding agent.

Step 2

### Pick a template

Choose from NDAs, SAFEs, NVCA financing docs, employment agreements, restrictive covenants, and more.

Step 3

### Get a filled DOCX

The agent returns a Word file with your details filled in and a redline of changes — ready to review and send.

## Use it with

Any agent that supports MCP servers or installable agent skills.

### Claude Code

Best default for most users — coding agent with first-class MCP support.

### Gemini CLI

Install the Open Agreements extension if your team is already on Gemini's terminal workflow.

### Other coding agents

Any agent with MCP server support or installable agent skills can use Open Agreements.
