Claude Code
Incorporate a company from Claude Code.
One paste installs the Corply plugin; one sentence, “incorporate my startup,” 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 your agent
Install once. The last command opens your browser for a single Google sign-in that authorizes Claude Code into your organization. Then just ask Claude to incorporate.
What happens when you ask Claude to 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) workflow, and the EIN responsible party. It validates the application and first generates only the filing-stage certificate, cover material, and required filing authorization. After payment and the required human confirmation, Corply's filing operation reviews and submits the Delaware filing.
Delaware acceptance supplies the actual formation date and file number. Corply then generates the post-incorporation packet: Bylaws, Action of Incorporator, Initial Board Consent, founder stock agreements, 83(b) elections, and stock records. Each actual PDF is routed to its named signer. Your approvals, documents, deadlines, evidence, and company context remain attached to the organization 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.

FAQ
- 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 puts them in the same organization after they sign in with the invited email and confirm the company invitation.
- Is an e-signature from a terminal legally binding?
- Yes. Corply captures signatures under ESIGN/UETA with a full audit bundle of signer identity, consent, timestamps, and document hashes, the same legal basis web e-sign tools rely on.
- What does it cost?
- A flat fee with no hourly billing. Current pricing is 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.
