Open Agreements tools (4)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsfill_templateFreeFill a legal agreement template with field values and return a document via URL or MCP resource preview metadata. For field-selector templates (e.g. NVCA), also generates a redline (track-changes) document comparing the filled output against the standard form.
get_templateFreeFetch a single template definition with full field metadata.
list_templatesFreeList all available legal agreement templates as a paginated compact catalog. Returns lightweight metadata for discovery — call get_template for full per-field detail. Templates are returned in stable lexicographic order by template_id. For finding templates by topic, jurisdiction, or source, use search_templates instead.
search_templatesFreeSearch for legal agreement templates by keyword. Uses BM25 ranking to find the most relevant templates matching your query. Searches across template names, descriptions, categories, sources, and field definitions. Use this instead of list_templates when you know what kind of agreement you need.

OpenAgreements
OpenAgreements helps people and software agents find primary-source-backed U.S. legal guidance and produce reviewable DOCX files from standard agreement templates.
What OpenAgreements does
machine-readable formats.
- Publishes jurisdiction-specific practice guides with citations to primary law.
- Provides standard agreement templates with source and license metadata.
- Fills templates locally through a CLI or over MCP.
- Publishes review checklists and comparison surveys in human- and
OpenAgreements provides legal information and document mechanics, not legal advice. It does not decide whether a form or clause is right for a transaction, and generated documents are drafts for human review.
The project’s longer-term goal is a citable conformance layer for legal AI: primary law becomes inspectable requirements, an AI can check a document against them, and a lawyer owns the final call. Read Why OpenAgreements Exists for the rationale; this README stays focused on using the project.
Fill your first agreement
Install the CLI locally, inspect the available forms, and fill the Common Paper Mutual NDA:
npm install -g open-agreements
open-agreements list
open-agreements fill common-paper-mutual-nda \
--set party_1_name="Jane Doe" \
--set party_1_company="Acme Manufacturing, Inc." \
--set party_2_name="John Smith" \
--set party_2_company="Northeast Logistics LLC" \
--set effective_date="2026-07-15" \
--set purpose="Evaluating a potential logistics relationship" \
--output mutual-nda.docxThe last command writes mutual-nda.docx. Open it in Word or another DOCX viewer and review every filled term before signature. Defaults supply the standard one-year term, Delaware governing law, and other omitted cover terms; the CLI reports any priority fields that still need attention.
For a complete, copyable example and field-review steps, follow the quick start.
Understand the workflow
standard form + source and license metadata
→ supplied field values
→ validation and local rendering
→ reviewable DOCX
→ human legal and business reviewThe standard form is authoritative until rendering. Your supplied values become the transaction-specific inputs. The generated DOCX is an output for review; it is never automatically accepted or signed.
The legal-content path is separate: practice guides cite primary sources, surveys compare jurisdictions, and checklists turn requirements into review steps. Those materials can inform a decision, but they do not mutate an agreement.
