Can an AI agent incorporate my company?

Yes — that is what Corply is for. Your agent runs the application, documents, and cofounder e-signatures end-to-end; the legally binding acts stay human, and every Delaware submission is human-reviewed. Works from Claude Code (plugin) or any MCP-capable agent.

Is Corply a Stripe Atlas or Clerky alternative?

Yes — the same outcome, a venture-ready Delaware C-Corp with EIN, founder stock, and an 83(b) workflow, but driven from Claude Code instead of a web portal, with a flat fee and no hourly attorneys.

In Claude Code, run: claude plugin marketplace add corply-dev/corply-plugin, then claude plugin install corply. Run /incorporate and sign in once with Google on the first tool call.

Does Corply file with Delaware automatically?

No. Every Delaware submission is reviewed by a human before it is filed.

Is Corply a law firm?

No. Corply prepares documents and filings and does not provide legal advice. It is operated by 0Lumen Labs Corp.

First-time founders, international and non-U.S. cofounder teams incorporating a U.S. startup, and technical founders who prefer one command over web portals.

Can Claude Code really incorporate a company?

Claude Code drives the process; Corply's backend does the doing. The agent gathers your application, generates the legal documents, and collects binding e-signatures from every cofounder. The one thing that is never automated is the Delaware submission itself — a human reviews and files it.

Do my cofounders need Claude Code too?

Each cofounder signs from their own Claude Code after reviewing the PDFs via a magic link. The invite flow (invite by email, one command to join) puts them in the same organization automatically.

Is an e-signature from a terminal legally binding?

Yes. Corply captures signatures under ESIGN/UETA with a full audit bundle — signer identity, consent, timestamps, and document hashes — the same legal basis web e-sign tools rely on.

A flat fee with no hourly billing — current pricing at corply.dev.

I use a different agent, not Claude Code.

Corply is also a plain MCP server at https://corply.dev/mcp, so any MCP-capable agent can connect. See the AI-agents page for details.

Claude Code

Incorporate a company from Claude Code.

Two commands install the Corply plugin; /incorporate forms a Delaware C-Corp end-to-end — guided application, generated legal documents, cofounder e-signature, and a human-reviewed Delaware filing — without leaving your terminal.

Do it from Claude Code

Install once, then run /incorporate. On the first tool call your browser opens for a single Google sign-in, and Claude Code is authorized into your organization.

then run /incorporate

What happens when you run /incorporate

The agent walks the whole formation as one conversation: company name, what the company does, founders, equity split, authorized shares, vesting, the 83(b) election, and the EIN responsible party. It validates the application, generates the document set — Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, Action of Incorporator, and Board Consent — and opens a signature request for every founder.

Each cofounder reviews the actual PDFs via a magic link and signs from their own Claude Code. When everyone has signed, the formation is handed to a human who reviews and submits the Delaware filing. Afterward, your approvals, documents, deadlines, and company context stay attached to the organization — ready for banking, fundraising, and diligence.

Why terminal-first beats a web portal

Portals make you translate your company into their form fields. An agent asks, explains the standard choices as you go — why Delaware, what vesting convention investors expect, what an 83(b) election is — and fills the paperwork itself. Technical founders already live in Claude Code; incorporation becomes one more thing the agent does, with the legal record-keeping handled by Corply's MCP backend rather than a browser session.
