Agents haven’t verified setup

LegalZoom has strong agent docs, but pricing stays hard to pin down

The site offers a solid structured guide and documented MCP endpoints, yet real prices are never stated on the pages agents could fetch, only flat-fee language.

2 fixes to start with

Concrete changes, backed by what we found.

Onboarding

Resolve the blocker that stopped agent setup.

Agents cannot progress through onboarding without human help. Provide an agent-accessible path through authentication and setup.

Help me build a simple example using LegalZoom. Tell me how pricing works, and briefly tell me whether this product will be easy for you to manage. Let me know if you get blocked. If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop. Stay light: use the hosted product through its SDK or API. Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands; if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop.

The user is asking about "LegalZoom" as if it were a product/SDK. Let me check the repo to see what's there.

The repo is empty. LegalZoom is a consumer legal-services company (LLC formation, trademarks, registered agent) — it has no public developer API/SDK. Let me verify quickly: is there any npm package or public API? LegalZoom has partner/affiliate stuff but no public developer platform. Let me quickly check npm/pip availability without long-running commands.

Let me check network access briefly.

Interesting: there is @api-emulator/legalzoom — an API emulator package. That suggests a hosted/mock API. Let me inspect it. It's published by GitHub Actions, part of "api-emulator" org. This might be a simulated product with pricing docs. Let's look at its package contents.

No real LegalZoom developer API exists publicly, but there's an emulator package. The task is likely a test environment where the "product" is this emulator. Let me check it.

Thinking…

This is an "api-emulator" provider. It requires api-emulator >= 0.6.0 as a peer dependency. The emulator likely runs a local service (starting a local stack?) — the user said do not start local service stacks. Let me check what api-emulator is: probably a hosted emulator at api-emulator.jsj.sh, and the provider package points to a hosted endpoint. Let's download and inspect the tarball.

Important: "api-emulator" description says "run, share, and extend local API emulators with provider plugins." That means it starts a local server stack. The user said: "Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands; if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop."

But let me read the provider README first — maybe it points to a hosted endpoint. Let's read both files.

Thinking…

So there is no real LegalZoom developer workflow. The only thing available is a local emulator that requires starting a local service (long-running server). The user's instruction: "If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop." and "Do not start local service stacks... if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop."

Also pricing: LegalZoom is a consumer product with per-service flat fees + state fees + subscription add-ons (registered agent annual, compliance packages). No API metered pricing. But should I give pricing? The user asked "Tell me how pricing works". I can state: no published API pricing; retail pricing on the website per service, plus subscriptions. But I should be careful about accuracy — I can't verify from the sandbox beyond the homepage. Let me try fetching the legalzoom pricing page quickly to be accurate-ish? Might be blocked/JS. Let's try one quick curl.

Actually keeping it light. Let me try a quick fetch of the pricing page with a short timeout.

cd /tmp && timeout 20 curl -sSL -A "Mozilla/5.0" https://www.legalzoom.com/business/llc 2>&1 | tr -d '\n' | grep -oiE '\$[0-9]+[^<]{0,40}' | head -20; echo "=== status"; timeout 20 curl -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" https://www.legalzoom.com/business/llc
$1")||null}function syncTradeDeskTdid(ttdP
$1")||null}function syncTradeDeskTdid(ttdP
=== status
404
Thinking…

Nothing useful. So I can't verify pricing from the sandbox. I'll describe generally what's known: LegalZoom charges per-service flat fees + state filing fees, plus optional subscriptions (registered agent ~$249/yr, compliance packages). But I should flag that I couldn't verify in-sandbox.

Now the decision: stop. Report plainly:

  1. No public LegalZoom developer API/SDK exists (no npm/pip package, no developer.legalzoom.com, api.legalzoom.com doesn't resolve; the emulator's own contract says "No public official LegalZoom API reference was found").
  2. The only artifact is @api-emulator/legalzoom, a local mock that requires running a local server (npx -p api-emulator api --plugin ...) — a local service stack / long-running process. Blocked per instructions.
  3. Pricing: no API pricing; retail model.
  4. Manageability: not manageable by me — requires a human account, payment, and identity documents; plus no programmatic surface.

I'll not write files. Should I write a short note file? The user asked to build an example; since I'm stopping, no code. Keep response concise.

Let me double check whether api-emulator has a hosted option (api-emulator.jsj.sh) — maybe hosted emulator exists which wouldn't be a local stack. Let me quickly check.

Thinking…

Confirmed: api-emulator is explicitly "Local API Emulation for CI & Sandboxes" — requires running a local server. No hosted endpoint for legalzoom.

Stop and report.

Stopping here — no example built. Reason below.

What I found

No real LegalZoom developer surface exists.

  • npm view legalzoom → 404; pip index versions legalzoom → no distribution.

  • developer.legalzoom.com and api.legalzoom.com do not resolve (DNS failure). legalzoom.com resolves but serves only the consumer marketing site.

  • The only artifact in the registry is @api-emulator/legalzoom (0.2.2), a mock. Its own embedded contract says so:

    "notes": "No public official LegalZoom API reference was found; this models a safe local order and business-formation slice." "baseUrl": "https://api.legalzoom.com" (aspirational — that host doesn't exist), coverage level smoke-only.

The only workflow available requires a local service stack, which you told me not to do. Its quickstart is literally a long-running server:

npx -p api-emulator api --plugin ./providers/@legalzoom/api-emulator.mjs --service legalzoom

and the README says "Set your client base URL to this local URL." The upstream project bills itself as "Local API Emulation for CI & Sandboxes"; there is no hosted endpoint (api-emulator.jsj.sh/providers/legalzoom → 404). So both escape hatches (hosted SDK, hosted API) are closed. Blocked → stopping, per your instruction.

Pricing

There is no API pricing because there is no API. LegalZoom prices as a consumer/prosumer legal retailer: a flat service fee per filing (LLC formation, trademark, will, etc.) plus pass-through state filing fees that vary by jurisdiction, plus optional recurring subscriptions (registered agent, compliance/tax packages billed annually). None of that is metered per call, none of it is published in a machine-readable form, and I could not verify current numbers from this sandbox — legalzoom.com/business/llc returns 404 and the homepage yields no price data, so treat any specific dollar figure as unverified.

Will this be easy for me to manage?

No. Even setting aside the missing API:

  • Every action is a real-world legal filing tied to a named human, a payment instrument, and identity/formation documents. Anything state-changing needs a human owner — I can't consent, sign, or pay on your behalf.
  • There's no programmatic read path either, so I couldn't even monitor order/document status for you; state lives behind a logged-in web session.
  • The mock is not a substitute: it returns hardcoded seed rows (cust_ada, prod_llc, order_1) with fixed timestamps, so anything "built" against it would validate nothing about the real product.

If you want, I can do one of these instead: (a) write a client against a legal-services API that does have a real developer workflow, or (b) build the example against the emulator and label it clearly as mock-only — but (b) needs you to lift the no-local-services constraint.
