Best: add it to Claude as a connector

Once added, Claude searches the site directly: no links to paste, and it reads the full text it quotes. Set up once, then use it in any chat.

  1. Copy the connector address

    https://law.robertlathamesq.org/mcp
  2. Add it in Claude

    On claude.ai or in the Claude desktop app, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector. Name it “Florida Dependency Law Finder”, paste the address, and add it. No account or sign-in is needed.

  3. Ask your question

    In a new chat, make sure the connector is turned on (in the chat's tools menu), then ask, for example: “Using the Florida Dependency Law Finder, can a court terminate parental rights on the ground of incarceration when the parent will be released before the child turns 18?”

Other assistants that accept custom MCP connectors (ChatGPT in developer mode, for one) take the same address.

Or: give any AI a link

For ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or any assistant that can open web pages, with nothing to set up.

  1. Copy this link

    https://law.robertlathamesq.org/ai/58b75b7e.md
  2. Paste it into your AI with your question

    Open your AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or another with web access) and ask it to read the link and research your question. To start from this wording, copy it and add your question at the end:

    Read https://law.robertlathamesq.org/ai/58b75b7e.md and follow those instructions to research this question with the Florida Dependency Law Finder: your question

    For example: “… Can a court terminate parental rights on the ground of incarceration when the parent will be released before the child turns 18?”

Keep in mind

Building something? The instructions at /ai.md (also /llms.txt) describe every search and data address the AI uses: cases, statutes, rules, admin code, CFOPs, commonly cited cases and their later treatment.
