A new development in the legal technology space has unfolded as Harvey has announced a collaboration, enabling its users to access the AI-based legal research platform, Midpage, through a newly launched MCP connector. This move allows lawyers to streamline their workflow by integrating a powerful research library directly within the Harvey platform, which they already utilize for drafting and analysis tasks.
The move to integrate comes amidst growing demand from Harvey users for seamless access to comprehensive legal resources. Midpage’s offerings include an extensive collection of U.S. case law, statutes, regulations, and agency materials. The capability for Harvey users to directly source and cite these materials enhances the sophistication of legal drafting and analysis. This is particularly beneficial for tasks such as the creation of research memos, drafting of briefs, and citation review, as listed by the companies.
Before this integration with Harvey, Midpage had already established connectors with other platforms, namely Anthropic’s Claude—which made its debut with more than 20 legal connectors and practice area plugins, as detailed here—and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the functionality of which can be observed through a demonstration video.
The integration allows for Midpage searches to be executed within Harvey Assistant threads, ensuring the research is incorporated seamlessly into the final output, complete with cited sources. The listing of ideas included research memos, drafting of briefs and motions with supported citations, and even resolution of statutory and regulatory queries alongside case law, providing a more unified platform for legal professionals.
This integration is available in Harvey’s Connector Library, requiring users to be subscribers of both Harvey and Midpage services. Otto Zastrow, co-founder and CEO of Midpage, stated, “Now the research and the drafting happen on one platform, and every proposition can be traced to the authority behind it.”
