Claude Code formation workflow
Form a Delaware C-Corp From Claude Code
Form a Delaware C-Corp From Claude Code by connecting Lovie MCP, describing the intended company, and reviewing a structured filing record before submission. The workflow is designed for founders who want formation inside a terminal-oriented build environment without treating an AI agent as a lawyer or state filing office.

What to prepare before invoking the formation tools
Start with the facts that determine the filing: the proposed legal name, Delaware as the jurisdiction, the founder and incorporator details requested in the workflow, the business contact, and the intended ownership structure. A Delaware C-Corp can suit venture-oriented companies, but the entity decision has tax, governance, and fundraising consequences that should be reviewed for the founder's circumstances.
Claude Code supports MCP servers as external tools. Lovie's current setup uses the `lovie` package and exposes guided company-formation actions alongside filing-status and company-management tools. The useful outcome is not a block of generated legal prose; it is a consistent set of inputs that the founder can inspect before the filing moves forward.
Claude Code-to-C-Corp workflow
| Stage | Action | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Install | Connect Lovie MCP | Install the Lovie package, sign in, and add the server to Claude Code. |
| 2. Specify | Request a Delaware C-Corp | Describe the company, founders, expected financing path, and proposed name. |
| 3. Inspect | Review the filing record | Verify names, addresses, roles, registered-agent coverage, and itemized fees. |
| 4. Authorize | Approve the consequential action | Confirm payment and submission, then use Lovie to follow the state filing status. |
Separate preparation from filing authority
Anthropic documents MCP as a way for Claude Code to connect with tools, databases, APIs, and workflows. That connection lets the agent gather information and invoke defined functions, but it does not remove the founder's responsibility to verify the filing. Lovie keeps the state submission and payment behind the authenticated product workflow.
After acceptance, the company still needs accurate corporate records, founder stock documentation, registered-agent continuity, and an EIN process. Those are post-filing obligations, not evidence that the initial state filing alone completed every legal or tax step. If the ownership or financing plan is unusual, obtain qualified legal and tax advice before approval.
- Review the entity choice and founder details before the filing is submitted.
- Do not paste secrets or personal credentials into a project configuration file.
- Treat state acceptance, EIN issuance, and banking review as separate milestones.
