Redlining, Delegated
Tell Claude you need a redline.
We’ll handle the rest.
Perfect redline precision
directly within Claude.
Claude Delivers
Redlines on Demand
Ask for it, get it
“Redline the last two versions of the credit agreement” is the entire workflow. No uploads, no export dialogs, no tab-switching. Claude drives Version Story for you, and the finished redlines land in your folder in seconds.
AI convenience, deterministic precision
Claude never generates the redline. It orchestrates Version Story’s rules-based comparison engine, written in Rust, so every redline, merge, and version history is exact, repeatable, and verifiable. Conversational on the surface, deterministic underneath.
It knows your matters
Already have a project open? Claude works from it instead of creating a duplicate. Your folders, your versions, your naming — Claude meets your existing organization rather than inventing its own.
Connect Version Story
to Claude
The connector works on every Claude surface, including claude.ai, the desktop app, Cowork, and mobile.
Paste one link
Add it to Claude as a custom connector and sign in with your Version Story account. Claude can then compare, merge, and trace versions of your documents inside the conversation you are already having.

“Seconds later all seven redlines were in my folder.”
Didn’t need to open anything, download anything — just boom. Done.
Seven redlines before you could have opened the first document
The multi-version comparison that used to be an afternoon of clicking is now one sentence. On fixed-fee matters, that goes straight to margin.
Zero training, day-one adoption
Tools fail when lawyers won’t learn them. There is nothing to learn here: describe the comparison you need and it appears.
An AI answer your risk committee will accept
The conversation is AI; the redline is a deterministic, rules-based comparison. Adopt the workflow without adopting the hallucination risk.
No copies, no clutter
Claude works from the projects you already have open. Nothing duplicated, nothing orphaned, everything where the matter team expects it.
What Claude Can
Ask For
Tools are the commands Version Story shares with Claude. Claude turns a plain-language request into the right call and hands the result back, no glue code from you. Think git for lawyers: diff, merge, and blame, which lawyers call redline, merge, and version history.
Redline
create_comparisonRedline local, attached, or linked documents in one call.get_redlinesWait until redlines are ready; return their download links.read_textRead a redline's changes as text, a slice at a time or by search.
Edit
upload_fileUpload a document, from the computer, a chat, or a link.read_fileRead a document's text, with the locators edits name.editMake edits as tracked changes in the user's name; return the result.get_editWait for an edit that is still being applied.get_fileDownload a document or a stored version as Word or PDF.
Merge and combine
create_mergeMerge two or more revisions of one base document.get_merged_documentWait until the merged document is generated.create_combineCombine two or more documents that share no common base.get_combined_documentWait until the combined document is generated.
Version history
create_version_historyAttribute every change across an ordered chain of versions.get_version_history_documentWait until the version-history document is generated.
Document history
list_documentsList your documents, newest first.get_documentEvery version of a document, with each redline.identify_documentSay whether a file is a version Version Story already keeps.create_versionRecord a changed copy as a document's next version.rename_versionRename a version.delete_versionDelete a version and its redline.collapse_versionsCollapse a run of versions into one.link_documentMove a document's versions into another document's history.show_document_viewerShow the live document viewer in the chat.
Session
check_connectionReport the access-token lifetime and refresh status.referenceRead a reference topic: the edit types, the redline markup, the error codes.report_issueTell the Version Story team when a step fails.
Claude discovers these itself when it connects, so nothing has to be kept in sync as tools are added. The request and response shape of each one is in the MCP reference.
