How to Sign a Document with AI
AI agents can send documents for signing using the Signbee MCP server.
Steps
- 1
Install the MCP server: npx -y signbee-mcp
- 2
Configure with your SIGNBEE_API_KEY
- 3
Ask your AI: 'Send an NDA to bob@acme.com'
- 4
AI uses the send_document tool automatically
- 5
Recipient receives signing link — same flow as API
Try it with curl
curl -X POST https://signb.ee/api/send \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"content": "# Your Document\n\nContent here...",
"senderName": "Your Name",
"senderEmail": "you@email.com",
"recipientName": "Recipient",
"recipientEmail": "recipient@email.com"
}'Legal validity
Electronic signatures are legally binding under the ESIGN Act (US), eIDAS Regulation (EU), and Electronic Communications Act (UK). Every Signbee document includes a SHA-256 tamper-proof certificate.
More details
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants use external tools. The Signbee MCP server gives AI agents the ability to send documents for signature — turning natural language instructions into legally binding documents.
How it works: 1. Install the MCP server: npx -y signbee-mcp 2. Configure your AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code) with the server 3. Ask your AI in plain English: 'Send an NDA to bob@acme.com' 4. The AI generates the document content, calls the send_document tool, and sends the signing link 5. The recipient signs normally — same flow as the REST API
Available MCP tools: - send_document: Send a document for signature - check_status: Check if a document has been signed - list_documents: List recent documents and their status
Use cases: - 'Draft and send an NDA to our new contractor' - 'Send the standard consulting agreement to Sarah at Acme Corp' - 'Check if the lease agreement I sent yesterday has been signed' - 'Send offer letters to all three candidates from today's interviews'
The AI handles document generation, formatting, and API calls. You describe what you need in plain language.
