We’ll be honest with you: we’re Claude obsessives here at Lumin.

Our team has been using Claude for everything from brainstorming marketing campaigns to drafting complex technical documentation. But there was always that moment of friction, that awkward copy-paste dance between Claude’s brilliant AI-generated content and getting it into a professional, shareable document format.

As Claude lovers building tools for fellow Claude lovers, we knew there had to be a better way. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the solution: native Claude + Lumin integration that transforms your AI conversations into polished, collaborative documents in seconds.

Eager to jump straight in? Scroll down to the “Get Started” section for installation instructions.

The workflow that changes everything

Here’s the magic: you’re having a conversation with Claude, generating exactly the content you need — maybe a contract, a project proposal, technical documentation, or a comprehensive report. Instead of copying, pasting, and reformatting, you can now seamlessly transition that Claude-generated content directly into Lumin for professional formatting, team collaboration, and eSignatures.

From AI to action in three steps:

  1. Generate content with Claude's powerful AI capabilities
  2. Open your document directly in Lumin PDF with one click
  3. Collaborate, edit, and sign using Lumin's professional tools.

It’s the workflow we always dreamed of, and now it’s real.

Why this integration matters

Claude excels at understanding context, generating nuanced content, and helping you think through complex problems. But AI-generated content is just the starting point. Real work happens when you need to:

  • Refine and format that content professionally
  • Collaborate with team members who need to review and edit
  • Gather signatures from stakeholders and clients
  • Track changes and manage document versions
  • Store and organize everything in a centralized workspace.

That’s where Lumin comes in. We’ve built the perfect complement to Claude’s AI capabilities, tools that take your generated content from good to great, from draft to done.

Real-world use cases

For legal professionals:

Generate contract templates with Claude, then customize clauses, add signature fields, and collect legally binding eSignatures in Lumin. One of our beta users told us: “I can draft a complete NDA in minutes instead of hours."

For consultants and agencies:

Research and outline comprehensive reports with Claude, then format them professionally, add your branding, and collaborate with clients using Lumin's real-time editing features.

For product teams:

Create technical specifications with Claude’s help, then use Lumin's annotation tools for team feedback, version control for iteration management, and workspace sharing for stakeholder alignment.

For sales teams:

Generate personalized proposals with Claude, then add interactive elements, collect approvals, and track document engagement through Lumin's analytics.

Beyond document creation: The full MCP integration

While seamless document creation is our headline feature, the integration goes deeper. Through Claude's Model Context Protocol (MCP), you can now:

  • Manage signature requests directly from Claude conversations
  • Upload documents in your Lumin workspace
  • Create fillable fields directly from your Claude chat
  • Check signature status and manage workflows
  • Access workspace information without context switching

For developers using Cursor, we’ve also built a dedicated MCP server that brings Lumin's document management capabilities directly into your coding environment.

Bridging the AI to document gap

This integration came from listening to our users and recognizing a fundamental workflow challenge in today’s AI-powered workplace. We kept hearing the same story from professionals across industries:

“I can generate amazing content with AI, but then I’m stuck copying and pasting into different tools to make it presentation-ready..."

“My AI-drafted contracts are great, but I still need to format them properly, get team input, and collect signatures..."

"There’s this awkward handoff between AI creation and real-world document workflows that slows everything down."

The pattern was clear: AI tools excel at content generation, but there’s often a gap between that raw output and the polished, collaborative documents that businesses actually need. We realized we were uniquely positioned to solve this problem by connecting AI with professional document workflows.

The technical foundation

We’ve integrated with Claude through Anthropic’s MCP, ensuring a secure, seamless connection between the platforms.

Our MCP server supports:

  • PDF creation directly from Claude
  • Secure authentication with OAuth 2.0
  • Integration with both Claude and Cursor

Get started

The integration is now available in beta for all Claude users. To install the Lumin integration on Claude, you must the owner of a Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise Claude plan.

Setup takes less than five minutes:

  1. Go to the ‘Integrations’ tab in your Claude settings
  2. Click “Organization integrations” and then “Add integration”.
  3. Enter “Lumin” as the integration name and ”https://mcp.luminpdf.com/mcp” as the integration URL. Confirm by clicking “Add”.
  4. Open the Claude desktop app and click the “Search and tools” menu below the prompt bar. Click the “Lumin” integration to enable it.
