Connect ElevenFlo to your AI tools

Bring ElevenFlo's court-grounded chapter 11 research into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, and other MCP clients — case lookup, search, exact filing text, and analysis, without leaving your workflow.

MCP server URL

https://elevenflo.com/mcp

Remote MCP over HTTP / Streamable HTTP. Use OAuth sign-in only. Do not manually paste a bearer token, API token, or custom Authorization header for ElevenFlo MCP.

Works with

Works with supported remote-MCP clients that support HTTP / Streamable HTTP and OAuth. Local-stdio-only, SSE-only, and manually configured bearer-token setups are not supported for customer MCP access.

Available on every plan

Connect in 3 steps

ElevenFlo MCP is available on every plan — free accounts include 2,500 credits a month, Pro includes 100,000, and there is no separate access request. Sign in with your ElevenFlo account when your client prompts for OAuth.

  1. 01

    Choose your client

    ChatGPT users should start from the published app directory. Cursor and VS Code can pre-fill the endpoint; Claude, Codex, and private/workspace ChatGPT Developer Mode use it directly.

  2. 02

    Authorize access

    The client opens ElevenFlo sign-in and OAuth consent. Do not manually paste a bearer token, API token, or custom Authorization header.

  3. 03

    Run the FTX test

    A successful connection returns FTX Trading Ltd. with case_id 1857, proving the client can reach ElevenFlo tools.

#Quickstart

Setup takes about 5 minutes with any ElevenFlo account.

#1. Confirm access

You need:

  • an ElevenFlo account with a verified email address (MCP is available on every plan — free accounts include 2,500 credits per month, Pro includes 100,000)
  • an MCP-compatible client
  • browser access for sign-in and consent

MCP is provisioned automatically — there is no separate access request. If a tool call returns an access error, confirm your email address is verified.

#2. Add the endpoint

Transport: Remote MCP over HTTP / Streamable HTTP. Clients label this differently — Claude Code uses --transport http, VS Code uses "type": "http", and private/workspace ChatGPT Developer Mode calls it "streaming HTTP" — but it is the same surface.

ChatGPT users should start with the published app directory unless using private/workspace Developer Mode.

Add this MCP server URL in your client:

https://elevenflo.com/mcp

Use this name if your client asks for a server name or label:

elevenflo

Use OAuth sign-in only. Do not manually paste a bearer token, API token, or custom Authorization header for ElevenFlo MCP.

#3. Sign in

Start a tool call from your MCP client. The client should open ElevenFlo sign-in and consent.

Approve access only for the client and account you recognize.

#4. Run a smoke test

Ask:

Use ElevenFlo MCP to find the FTX Trading Ltd. Chapter 11 case. Return the top match with case name, court, case number, and case identifier.

case_id is the stable case identifier returned by ElevenFlo MCP. The response also includes case_watch_id, the legacy name for the same value; use either identifier in follow-up MCP calls.

Expected result:

FTX Trading Ltd.
case_id: 1857
case_watch_id: 1857

#5. Try a research prompt

Find recent filings in the case, identify the plan or disclosure statement, and summarize the key recovery terms using source-backed citations.

#Guardrails

  • Use /mcp as the endpoint path.
  • Each OAuth approval creates an independent client grant.
  • Access tokens refresh automatically. The default refresh-token family lifetime is 30 days from OAuth approval; daily reauthorization is not expected.
  • Reconnect through OAuth if access was revoked, entitlement changed, or the grant expired after its refresh-token family lifetime.
  • Revoke unused client grants from Account → MCP connections.
  • Use read_text for exact filing language.
  • Use analyze_document only after selecting relevant documents and chunks.

Client setup

Pick your AI client. Each tab has the install steps and a smoke test. ChatGPT starts with the published app directory; deep-links pre-fill the MCP server where supported.

Run this from any directory:

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http elevenflo https://elevenflo.com/mcp
claude mcp login elevenflo
claude mcp get elevenflo

Then start a prompt that needs ElevenFlo data. If OAuth has expired, Claude Code opens the ElevenFlo sign-in and consent flow in your browser.

Smoke test:

Use ElevenFlo MCP to find the FTX Trading Ltd. Chapter 11 case. Return the top match with case name, court, case number, and case identifier.

For Claude Code skill-file packaging, see Skill files.

#Troubleshooting

#The client does not open sign-in

Confirm the MCP URL is:

https://elevenflo.com/mcp

Remove any manual Authorization header or static bearer-token setting.

Restart the client and try the FTX smoke test again.

#Sign-in works but the tool call fails

The OAuth grant may have expired, been revoked, or been created for a different endpoint.

Reconnect the elevenflo MCP server and complete sign-in and consent again.

Authorizing the same ElevenFlo account from another compatible client should not revoke this connection. Access tokens refresh automatically, and the default refresh-token family lifetime is 30 days from OAuth approval; daily reauthorization is not expected. Reauthorization is expected after the grant is revoked, entitlement changes remove access, or the refresh-token family reaches its absolute lifetime.

Use:

https://elevenflo.com/mcp

#The client says unauthorized or 401

Likely causes:

  • OAuth was not completed.
  • The grant was revoked.
  • The client is using credentials created for a different endpoint.
  • The client failed to persist a rotated refresh token and is replaying stale local credentials.
  • A stale manual Authorization header is still configured.

Fix:

  • Remove manual headers.
  • Reconnect through OAuth.
  • Retry the FTX smoke test.

#The tool list is missing expected tools

ElevenFlo MCP advertises only its research tool set. If a tool from the catalog isn't showing up:

  • Check the Tool catalog — that page is the canonical list.
  • Confirm your email address is verified. The same tool set is available on every plan.
  • Reconnect through OAuth if the client cached an older tools/list response.

build_case_context_pack, search_intel_events, lookup_case_law, and generate_bankruptcy_document are not part of the current customer tool set.

If the tool is in the catalog and the client still does not list it, contact ElevenFlo support with:

  • client name and version
  • endpoint URL
  • account email
  • approximate time of the failed connection

#Search results are empty

Try:

  • checking the case name
  • using search_cases first
  • narrowing by case_id or case_watch_id
  • broadening date filters
  • searching summaries before full text
  • using exact phrases only when the phrase is likely to appear in the filing

#Analysis fails on a long document

Use search_within first, then pass selected chunk IDs to analyze_document.

For exact language, use read_text.

#Rate limit or usage error

Check the Account → MCP connections usage meter for your current allowance and remaining balance. MCP usage is credit-based and resets at the start of each calendar month.

The credit cap is connector-wide. Lightweight lookup and retrieval tools use fewer credits than document-analysis tools, but they still count against the monthly balance.

Free accounts include 2,500 credits per month. If a tool call reports the credit limit was reached, the balance resets at the start of the next calendar month, or upgrade to Pro for 100,000 credits per month.

If the account has credits remaining and the client still reports a usage error, reconnect through OAuth and retry. If the error persists, contact ElevenFlo support. Include the client name, account email, endpoint, tool name, and approximate time.

#Unsupported client

Use a client that supports hosted remote MCP over HTTP with OAuth.

If your client only supports local stdio MCP servers or manual bearer tokens, it is not a supported customer path for ElevenFlo MCP.
