You might be using Claude to build your business, from validating ideas and pricing to drafting your landing page. Instead of jumping to an external site and retyping your information, you can now form your company right where you plan it.
With doola MCP live in Claude, you can form your US LLC directly inside your chat thread.
Simply connect doola once and prompt:
“Help me form an LLC with doola.”
Claude guides you through a few quick questions, and doola files your LLC directly with the state.
Claude was among the very first platforms to feature doola MCP. Today, it is also available on ChatGPT, Replit, Lovable, Perplexity, and Vercel.
What Is doola MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) bridges the gap between AI chat and real-world execution.
- Without MCP: Claude can only tell you how to form an LLC.
- With doola MCP: Claude actually forms it for you.
By adding the doola connector to Claude once, you can handle your entire US LLC filing inside your normal chat window, no extra steps, external forms, or tab switching required.
The Tab-Switching Tax is Over: Form Your LLC Right Where You Built the Plan
If you use Claude to write your pitch deck, draft contracts, or code your MVP, you know how annoying it is to stop everything just to set up your business.
Going from a working draft in Claude to a legal company used to mean opening a separate incorporation site, creating an account, and manually copy-pasting your business name, founder details, and addresses line by line.
With doola MCP, you skip the forms entirely. Here is how it works:
- Trigger the filing: In the same chat where you just mapped out your product or deck, tell Claude: “Help me form an LLC with doola.”
- Review & Pay: Claude uses the context already in your chat to pre-fill your information, prompts you for anything missing (like owner percentages or mailing address), and generates a simple payment link.
- doola files with the state: Once payment is done, doola handles the state paperwork in the background while you keep working.
You stay in your workflow, and you don’t type the same information twice.
Why Claude?
Founders actively rely on Claude to map out early ideas, build strategies, and reach key business decisions:
Claude is where the business gets thought through.
- Research market dynamics and direct competitors
- Model first-year revenue projections and financial plans
- Draft terms of service and essential operational agreements
- Outline equity splits and founder roles
By the time you are ready to officially incorporate, Claude already holds the critical context, what the business does, target demographics, owner details, and physical location.
The Workflow Broke at Incorporation
Until recently, taking the leap from planning to incorporation meant hitting a wall:
- Decisions stayed trapped inside the chat window
- Founders had to abandon their AI context and re-enter everything into a separate formation platform
- Paperwork delays frequently turned a quick filing step into weeks of lost momentum
The doola Model Context Protocol (MCP) bridges this divide directly inside your workspace:
- Eliminates manual data re-entry on external websites
- Uses the business context and details already shared in your chat session
- Formally incorporates your company directly within the same Claude conversation where you built it
What doola MCP Can Do Inside Claude
Here’s each thing the doola connector does, in the order you’ll see it.
- Sign you in. You connect your existing doola account, or create a new one, when you first add the connector.
- Answer your formation questions. You can ask Claude things like which state to choose. Claude explains your options in plain language before you decide.
- Collect your company details. Claude asks for your company name, where you live and your formation state.
- Send you to checkout. Claude will link to a new tab and the user will check out in that new tab and then come back and confirm the payment is complete.
- Collect the filing details after payment. Claude then asks for the rest of what’s needed to file, such as your addresses, members and ownership split.
- Submit your LLC for filing. Once everything is collected, your LLC is submitted to the state. doola handles the filing and your registered agent.
- Hand you off to your doola dashboard. After that, you continue in your doola dashboard. That’s where you can track your filing and handle your EIN and banking.
Your EIN and bank account are handled in your doola dashboard after formation, not in the chat itself.
What the Experience Looks Like
The formation conversation breaks down into two straightforward phases:
Phase 1: Before Payment
Claude asks for the core details needed to quote and configure your setup:
- Your primary residence / current location
- Your desired company name
- Your preferred formation state (Note: doola MCP currently processes filings in Wyoming)
- Your selected doola package
You can respond in plain, natural language. If you have questions about state differences or structure, you can ask Claude to walk you through the options in real time.
Phase 2: After Payment
Once payment is complete, you return to the same conversation thread.
Claude then collects the remaining filing requirements:
- A brief description of your business activity
- Alternative company names (in case your first pick is unavailable with the state)
- Your official business address and mailing address
- LLC members and their respective ownership percentages
- Your designated IRS Responsible Party (the individual who controls or manages the entity and its finances, as defined by the IRS)
No redundant data entry required: Claude carries over all context previously shared in the chat, so you never have to retype information you’ve already discussed.
“Founders already use Claude to think through the business: the idea, the pricing, the first customers. Forming the company should happen in that same conversation, not in a separate tab three days later. With doola MCP inside Claude, the plan and the company come together.”
