name: Common Paper
description: Common Paper is a contract management platform that helps revenue, legal, and operations teams build, negotiate,
  sign, and manage commercial agreements in minutes using a library of committee-drafted standard agreements (Cloud Service
  Agreement, Mutual NDA, DPA, BAA, Professional Services, Partnership, Software License, Pilot, Design Partner, and Letter
  of Intent) paired with AI-assisted contract review. The company exposes a public REST API at api.commonpaper.com/v1 with
  Bearer-token authentication, JSON:API read responses, Ransack filtering, offset pagination, a documented webhook catalog,
  an agentic account-provisioning flow, and an official hosted MCP server plus a published Claude agent skill, so agents and
  integrations can list, create, send, void, reassign, and download agreements and templates programmatically.

    note: 'Renamed from MCPServer 2026-09-03 (roadmap#247): the manifest self-describes as status: candidate — a tool list
      derived from the published API contracts, not an existing server. The scorer already read the manifest and reported
      mcp_server correctly; the MCPServer type was crediting the artifact-type surfaces with a server that does not exist.'
