--- title: Connect Docket Navigator to Claude description: Enable the Docket Navigator connector for a Claude organization and connect your individual Docket Navigator account. --- Connect Docket Navigator to Claude to search Docket Navigator data, work with saved research, create and edit binders and alerts at your request, and open supporting material in Docket Navigator. :::note During the beta, Docket Navigator uses a custom MCP connector for Claude. Docket Navigator sends the custom MCP URL directly by email after your group is added to the beta program. Contact Docket Navigator Customer Support if you need the URL resent. These instructions will be updated when Docket Navigator becomes available through the Claude Connectors Directory. ::: ## Before you begin Confirm that: - Docket Navigator Customer Support has activated Docket Navigator Connect for your group. - Your group's administrator has enabled the Claude connector from the AI & Integrations page. - The appropriate Claude Owner or Primary Owner has the custom MCP URL from the Docket Navigator beta email. - Each person connecting Claude has an active subscription in Docket Navigator to at least one library. The setup has three parts. Your group's administrator enables the Claude connector in Docket Navigator, a Claude administrator adds Docket Navigator to the Claude organization, and each user connects their own account. ## 1. Enable Claude for your Docket Navigator group A Docket Navigator group administrator must enable the Claude connector for the group. 1. Sign in to Docket Navigator. 2. Open [AI & Integrations](https://search.docketnavigator.com/patent/ai-integrations). 3. Under **Group settings**, find **Claude connector**. 4. Select **On**. The Claude connector is now available to every member of the Docket Navigator group. Each member controls their own connection under **Your settings**. :::caution Turning off the Claude connector disconnects every user in the Docket Navigator group. If the group administrator turns it on again, each user must reconnect their account. ::: ## 2. Add Docket Navigator to a Claude organization For a Claude Team or Enterprise organization, a Claude Owner or Primary Owner must add Docket Navigator before members can connect. 1. Open Claude and select the appropriate organization from the account menu. 2. Select **Organization settings**. 3. Under **Libraries & Access**, select **Connectors**. 4. Select **Add**, then **Custom > Web**. 5. In **Name**, enter `Docket Navigator`. 6. In **Remote MCP server URL**, paste the URL supplied in the Docket Navigator beta email. 7. Leave the optional **OAuth Client ID** and **OAuth Client Secret** fields blank. 8. Leave **Managed authorization** turned off so each member can authorize the connector with their own Docket Navigator account. 9. Select **Add**. Docket Navigator will appear in the organization’s connector list as a custom web connector with individual authorization. For more information about administering remote custom connectors, see [Anthropic’s custom connector instructions](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-get-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp). ## 3. Connect your Docket Navigator account After Docket Navigator has been added to the Claude organization, each user connects individually. 1. Make sure you are working in the appropriate Claude organization. 2. Select **Customize** in the Claude sidebar. 3. Select **Connectors**. 4. Find **Docket Navigator** in the connector list. 5. Select **Connect**. 6. Sign in with your Docket Navigator account when prompted. If you are already signed in to Docket Navigator, you may proceed directly to the consent screen. ## 4. Review and allow access Docket Navigator displays the account being connected and the permissions Claude is requesting. Claude will be able to: - Search your dockets, documents, and litigation data. - Create and edit binders and alerts on your behalf. - Open pages in Docket Navigator. Claude will be unable to: - Delete data. - Change your account settings. - Take action on behalf of other users. Confirm that the displayed email address is correct, review the permissions, and select **Allow**. Docket Navigator then returns you to Claude and confirms the connection in the browser. Selecting **Cancel** ends the authorization process without connecting the account. ## Use Docket Navigator in Claude After connecting, you can ask Claude to use Docket Navigator during a conversation. Claude may ask you to approve a Docket Navigator tool before it runs. Review the requested action before approving it, particularly when Claude proposes creating or editing a binder or alert. Claude can also enable or disable connectors for an individual conversation. Select the **+** button beside the chat composer, select **Connectors**, and use the available connector controls. ## Disconnect Claude To disconnect your individual account from Docket Navigator: 1. Open [AI & Integrations](https://search.docketnavigator.com/patent/ai-integrations) in Docket Navigator. 2. Under **Your settings**, find **Claude**. 3. Select **Disconnect**. You can also manage the connection from **Customize > Connectors** in Claude. A Docket Navigator group administrator can disable the Claude connector for the entire group from **Group settings**. This disconnects every member of the group and requires each member to reconnect if the integration is enabled again. ## Troubleshooting ### Docket Navigator does not appear in Claude Confirm that you are working in the correct Claude organization and that a Claude Owner or Primary Owner has added the custom connector supplied for the Docket Navigator beta. ### Claude cannot access Docket Navigator Confirm that the Claude connector is turned on under the Docket Navigator group’s **AI & Integrations** settings and that your individual Docket Navigator connection is active. ### You were disconnected after previously connecting A Docket Navigator group administrator may have disabled the Claude connector. After the administrator enables it again, return to **Customize > Connectors** in Claude and reconnect your account.
