LegalOpsHQ — MCP Readiness Checklist Published August 31, 2026 Before connecting an AI assistant to enterprise legal systems, ask: 1. What exact action or information does the assistant need? 2. Which identity and authorization model governs that access? 3. What source-of-truth systems and permissions must be preserved? 4. Where are human review, logging, and failure handling required? 5. Can the workflow change models or tools without rebuilding its controls? Use this checklist as an architecture conversation starter, not as a legal or security assessment. https://legalopshq.com/resources/mcp-for-legal-teams
