Can AI agents automate Common Paper?
Common Paper · saas · documents
Common Paper is automatable today through its REST API. This record is the Common Paper agreement workspace. It is not DocuSign or PandaDoc. API calls use https://api.commonpaper.com/v1. An organization API key is sent as Authorization Bearer. Keys are created on the Integrations page and can see every agreement in the organization. Third-party applications can instead use OAuth 2.0 authorization code with PKCE against https://auth.commonpaper.com. Common Paper registers that application after a support request. The agreements reference covers listing, creating, and sending agreements from standard or uploaded templates. Custom YAML templates are a separate API and return 404 until the organization is enabled for them. Webhooks POST a JSON payload to a URL configured in Settings. The Free plan is $0 and includes 2 agreements per month. The hosted MCP server is https://api.commonpaper.com/mcp. The help article says supported clients authenticate with Common Paper OAuth and can look up, send, void, reassign, and template agreements, and download a PDF. The same article says only Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Town, and MCP Jam can connect until Common Paper enables another client. The API reference also shows a bearer API key header for a direct MCP client. A product SDK and CLI were not established. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API scores 7 and is the best path. MCP scores 6.
