Adds Version Story (https://mcp-compare.versionstory.com/mcp, streamable HTTP, OAuth) to the
default .mcp.json of commercial-legal, corporate-legal, and litigation-legal, plus the
CONNECTORS.md and README tables and a document-comparison category.

Nothing in the claude-for-legal suite handles document comparison/redlining today. When asked to compare .docx files, Claude will read the original and modified document and summarize the changes. Sometimes it will attempt to build it's own comparison algorithm. It will not be able to produce formatted redlines in the formats that lawyers require, however.

Version Story is a deterministic legal-grade comparison engine for legal files. It compares .docx, .pdf, and .doc files and produces redlines in the file formats lawyers expect, including.pdf, .docx, and .pdf changed-pages only. It also produces an LLM-optimized markdown format for the Claude to consume.

How documents reach the server

Files are uploaded to Version Story via presigned URLs. Claude will post the files to compare to a versionstory.com domain and download the resulting redlines from there as well. Accordingly, the *.versionstory.com domain must be whitelisted in Claude's network egress settings.

Version Story turns document versions into true redlines: Word
tracked-changes, PDF, or changed-pages-only PDF comparisons produced by a
deterministic engine that preserves footnotes, tables, numbering, and
formatting. It also merges separately edited versions of one base document
into a single draft whose tracked changes are labeled by the revision they
came from, and builds version histories in which every surviving change is
attributed to the version that introduced it.

Server: https://mcp-compare.versionstory.com/mcp (streamable HTTP; OAuth
with dynamic client registration). Read-heavy tool surface: create and list
comparisons, fetch redline files, read document text; results return
download links to the generated artifacts. The same capability ships as a
desktop plugin (VersionStory/version-story-plugin-marketplace) that works
from files on the user's computer.

Added to commercial-legal, corporate-legal, and litigation-legal - the
plugins whose workflows negotiate, diff, and track versions of documents
(vendor-agreement redlines, amendment-history tracing, diligence drafts,
settlement agreement versions).
