Legal Automation 'OLGA' Supports MCP, Enabling Access to Past Legal Case Data from Generative AI Agents like Copilot Studio

GVA TECH Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Toshiyuki Yamamoto, hereinafter 'GVA TECH') has announced the launch of an 'MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server' that allows generative AI agents to access external data sources for its legal automation tool 'OLGA (Olga)'.

This enables access to past legal case information and knowledge accumulated in 'OLGA' through generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude used by customers, facilitating high-level and accurate business decisions based on past contract content and company standards.

Note that individual workshops for MCP settings and practical applications are planned, so please consider participating.

Development Background

The Spread of Generative AI Agents and the Barrier of Data Fragmentation

With the rapid development of AI, many companies are introducing generative AI across the entire company and incorporating AI agents into their operations. However, in many companies, the internal data referenced by AI is scattered across multiple platforms, requiring significant engineering costs for individual API connections. Furthermore, the scattered state of data sources broadens the AI's search range, increasing the risk of responses based on outdated information or hallucinations.

The Growing Importance of Legal in Business

With the increasing importance of compliance, DX, globalization, and other societal changes, legal has become a crucial function. A single legal judgment can either stall new business ventures or accelerate the growth of the entire business. Therefore, legal DX is necessary not only for the legal department but also for business departments (requesters) to immediately access legal information. However, in reality, many companies still have legal information scattered across emails, contract documents, Excel progress management, and other sources.

To address these challenges, 'OLGA,' which can centrally manage legal information, has become compatible with MCP, narrowing the AI's search range. This allows business department staff to instantly access accurate and up-to-date legal information from the chat UI of familiar generative AI agents.

Three Significances of OLGA's Compatibility with MCP

General AI as a Dedicated Legal Assistant for the Company

By directly referencing legal case data within 'OLGA' from familiar general AI, responses tailored to the company's context, taking into account past review records and modification history, can be instantly extracted.

Creating an Environment Where Business Departments (Requesters) Can Detect Risks at an Early Stage

Business department staff can access past cases and knowledge within 'OLGA' through the chat UI (general AI) they use daily, allowing them to detect risks on their own at the initial stage and prevent rework.

Towards Realizing Comprehensive Management Decisions Through the Integration of Multiple Data

By connecting general AI to multiple MCP servers, in the future, it will be possible to realize AI analysis and judgment across domains, not only with legal data within 'OLGA' but also including information from other systems such as SFA (sales support) and CRM (customer management).

Main Functions and Use Cases

As an MCP server, the following data linkage and search functions are provided to general AI.

Full-text search and retrieval of past case information registered in OLGA Confirmation and retrieval of detailed information and chat history linked to case IDs Version comparison of contracts, and batch retrieval from the first version to the final/closed version Search for internal FQA (knowledge)

[Prompt Examples]

'We are updating the contract with △△ Corporation and need to redo the NDA. Please compare it with past contract content and let us know if it is okay to sign as is. If there are any issues, please present the relevant clauses along with the basis.

'Are there any cases where we have pointed out violations or potential violations of the △◇ law in past cases? If so, please tell us specifically what content was pointed out.'

Future Outlook

GVA TECH aims to provide services that are easy to use not only for the legal department but across the entire company, with development centered on customer needs.

With the provision of the MCP server this time, knowledge that was previously difficult to utilize in legal matters can now be smoothly utilized by both business and legal departments. We will create an environment where the company can spend time on 'decision-making' and contribute to strengthening corporate competitiveness.

What is Legal Automation 'OLGA'?

Legal Automation 'OLGA' is a legal SaaS that automates dispersed legal tasks, from legal case management and contract review to contract management and CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management).

By flexibly connecting with external tools, it integrates information and business flows that were previously managed separately, supporting the construction of a system that not only improves business efficiency but also allows focus on 'judgments that only humans can make.'

As a result of implementation, in one company, the man-hours for management and file storage in Excel, which previously amounted to over 10,000 cases annually, have been reduced to zero. Additionally, legal consultations, which previously numbered around 2,700 annually, have been reduced to fewer than 900, achieving significant improvements in business efficiency and productivity.
