HeyCounsel MCP
Bring HeyCounsel into Claude.
HeyCounsel is a curated community of fractional, solo, and boutique lawyers, spanning a wide range of practice areas, jurisdictions, and countries.
Many HeyCounsel members use Claude as their daily driver. Now, Claude can securely access HeyCounsel resources directly in your chat.
We're releasing version 0 of the HeyCounsel MCP. An MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a way to let Claude — and other AI assistants that support MCP — plug into tools and data from other services, like HeyCounsel.
Ask Claude to catch you up on what's been happening in Slack, search for other members in the HeyCounsel network, surface the most relevant opportunities for you, get detailed insights into your Pulse results (e.g. how your tech stack compares to other members), and more.
What you can do
Version 0 of the HeyCounsel MCP is entirely read-only — Claude can look things up for you, but it can't change anything in your account or post on your behalf. (More is coming soon!)

HeyCounsel Pulse
Pulse is our under-the-hood look at how independent firms price, staff, spend, and tool up — built from aggregated, anonymized member data. The more you contribute, the more benchmarks you unlock.
Check what you've unlocked
See which Pulse surveys you've completed, which peer benchmarks that's unlocked, and what to fill out next to see more.
Try asking
“Which Pulse benchmarks have I unlocked, and what should I complete next to see how my pricing stacks up?”
Benchmark your practice
Compare your pricing, time, economics, and tech stack against aggregated, anonymized peer responses — filterable by firm size, practice area, and jurisdiction.
Try asking
“Am I pricing right and spending too much time on admin? Compare my rates and time allocation to similar firms — and flag any tools members rate higher than mine.”
