Example prompts

Once connected, try asking Claude things like these — each shows what the connector does in response.

  • What has the Czech Constitutional Court said about the right to a fair trial in tax proceedings?

    What happens: Claude calls Search Case Law across the constitutional and administrative courts and answers with specific decisions (e.g. an Ústavní soud nález), each linked to its full text on directcase.ai.

  • Quote the exact wording of § 2 of the Czech Civil Code (Act No. 89/2012 Coll.).

    What happens: Claude calls Get Law Text and returns the verbatim text of § 2 from the official e-Sbírka, with a citation to the source — no paraphrasing.

  • Look up the company with IČO 24337269 and tell me if it is in insolvency.

    What happens: Claude calls Search Company Registry and the insolvency register, returning the company's registry details and current insolvency status from the Czech business registries.

  • Find the decision Pl. ÚS 33/97 and summarise its holding.

    What happens: Claude calls Search by Identifier to locate the exact case, fetches the full text, and summarises the holding with a link to the decision.

  • Which DirectCase tools can I use on my current plan?

    What happens: Claude calls Account & Entitlements and lists your subscription tier, jurisdiction and the exact set of tools available to your account.
