Release: Midpage MCP Comes to ChatGPT
You can now connect Midpage to ChatGPT
After the reception of our Claude integration, this is the next step in bringing good case law data to the general-purpose AI tools lawyers already use. You shouldn’t have to switch platforms to do real legal research. With Midpage connected, the agent has access to real cases, real citations, and real treatment data from our database.
Grounded research inside ChatGPT
When we launched on Claude in early February, the uptake surprised us. Within about a month, roughly a third of Midpage users were running research through the Claude plugin.
You already know what ChatGPT does without a legal database underneath it: confident and plausible case summaries with citations that don’t always exist. With the Midpage connector turned on, ChatGPT runs real searches against our database, reads the relevant opinions, and returns answers anchored to hyperlinked sources you can verify in one click.
With Midpage in ChatGPT, you can:
Find cases by issue, fact pattern, or proposition, with real citations
Pull verified quotes with pinpoint links
Check treatment through our citator
Cite-check a draft and have ChatGPT actually open the cases it’s checking
Draft memos and client updates with citations that hold up
Because web search is on by default in ChatGPT and Claude, the public sources relevant for litigators — SEC filings, agency guidance, court websites, news coverage — are available in the same chat. Once your AI workspace can talk to Midpage and leverage other data sources, the workflows that used to require switching between five tabs collapse into a single conversation. Some examples that are already practical today:
Midpage + SEC/EDGAR. Pull a defendant’s most recent 10-K, identify risk-factor language relevant to a fraud claim, and surface case law on materiality and scienter in the right circuit — all in a single thread.
Midpage + agency and court websites. ChatGPT can pull a recent DOJ press release or the latest local rules in a particular court, and Midpage provides whatever case law you need to analyze the implications.
Midpage + the news. Research a new matter from press coverage, then conduct legal analysis using Midpage’s tools and data instead of whatever the model remembers from training.
The context switching is where nuance is lost and errors crop up. With Midpage’s MCP, the work can be done in a shared space with shared context, so the sources stay linked and the output is verifiable.
Same data, multiple workspaces
Legal work is all about citations and verification. Midpage’s database now covers all federal and state appellate courts, including unpublished federal cases and federal district court opinions. It is updated daily and extends to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), and various state business and specialized courts.
Our citator runs on top of the cases. When ChatGPT tells you a case stands for a proposition, determining whether it is good law is one tool call away. In contrast, a general AI on web search alone reaches a fraction of relevant cases, mostly unstructured, with no reliable way to verify treatment or subsequent history.
Both the Claude and ChatGPT integrations point at the same Midpage tools and the same dataset. Pick the workspace that fits how you work and we’ll meet you there.
Getting started
The Midpage ChatGPT connector is available today. To use it you’ll need an active Midpage subscription and a ChatGPT plan that supports connectors. Install instructions can be found at this link (click here).
If you’re new to Midpage, start with a free trial (click here), turn the connector on, and ask ChatGPT a research question. When you get a response, click the citations to verify. That’s the demo.
We’ll keep rolling out to more platforms. Our job is to make sure the law is in there with you.
