Avvo has a workable official integration path. Most engineering teams can build against it directly. Solid API with minor gaps
Avvo is a Seattle-founded online legal services platform launched in June 2007 by Mark Britton (former Expedia GC) and Paul Bloom.
Vertical: Legal, specifically lawyer directory, attorney rating + reputation, legal Q&A content and attorney marketing / lead generation. A consumer Google-searches a practice area + city ('DUI lawyer Seattle', 'divorce attorney Houston'), lands on an Avvo search results page, sorts by Avvo Rating, opens an attorney profile and either submits the Contact form, taps the Call button (Avvo tracks calls), or starts an Avvo Q&A thread..
High consumer-traffic ubiquity in U.S. legal directory search, very high coverage ubiquity across U.S. attorneys, low developer/API ubiquity.
Attorney directory records: name, firm affiliation, office address(es), phone, contact form, website URL, photo, video, languages, fees, years in practice, bar admissions / jurisdictions, education, professional associations, publications, speaking engagements, biography.
Avvo was founded by Mark Britton and Paul Bloom in 2006, launched publicly in June 2007, and raised more than $130M in venture financing from Benchmark, Ignition Partners, DAG Ventures, Coatue and others before being acquired by Internet Brands in January 2018 for an undisclosed sum.
API access is partner-gated via email to partner@avvo.com, no self-serve developer signup that immediately returns production credentials. No public webhooks for new leads, profile changes, new reviews, peer endorsements or rating updates, partners must poll. Full sourced list under Sources below.

Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Avvo MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Avvo doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
