Setup
Prerequisites
Lloyd is for L Suite members-only: Your entire legal team (all lawyers and legal ops professionals) must be L Suite members in order to access the Lloyd MCP.
A Claude account on Team, or Enterprise, with no training on inputs and outputs.
About 2 minutes.
Step 1 — Request your organization’s Lloyd MCP URL
Each L Suite member team has its own unique MCP URL. Request yours using this application form: Lloyd MCP access request form
Step 2 — Add the connector in Claude
Open Claude at claude.ai (or Claude Desktop).
For Claude Team / Enterprise, the flow is Organization → Settings → Connectors → Add connector. This may be restricted to admins in your team’s workspace.
Paste the Lloyd MCP URL provided to your organization.
Click Connect.
Step 3 — Authenticate with your Braintrust account
You’ll be asked to sign in to The L Suite Braintrust via OAuth.
Sign in with the email associated with your L Suite membership.
You’ll be redirected back to Claude. The connector status should show Connected.
Step 4 — Verify the connection
Start a new Claude conversation and ask: “Using Lloyd, find 3 peer recommendations for outside employment counsel in California used by Series B–D companies.”
If Claude responds with recommendations and peer context, you’re set. If not, see Troubleshooting below.
Troubleshooting
“Connector failed to connect”
Confirm the Lloyd MCP URL was pasted exactly, with no trailing spaces.
Confirm you’re on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan
Confirm your L Suite Braintrust account is active and the email you used to sign in matches your L Suite membership.
Try disconnecting and reconnecting from Settings → Connectors.
“No results” for queries that should return matches
Make the prompt more specific (practice area + company stage + matter type works best).
Try invoking the connector explicitly: “Using Lloyd, …”
If results still look wrong, email mcp-support@lsuite.co — our team reviews every report.
Claude doesn’t call the Lloyd tools even when relevant
Explicitly invoke it: “Using Lloyd, …”
Verify the connector is toggled on for the current conversation (look for the connector chip in the composer).
