# Add Consultant

`POST /claims/{claim_id}/consultants`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.claimkit.co` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.claimkit.co/claims/{claim_id}/consultants`
- Auth: none declared

Invite a consultant to the claim by email.

Gated to admins and the claim owner. Refuses if the claim is not
flagged ``is_consultant_claim`` — only admins can flip the flag, so
consultant invites strictly follow that toggle. Creates a
``ClaimInvitation(is_consultant=True)`` and reuses the existing
invitation email / signup plumbing; on accept, the invitee gets a
``ClaimConsultant`` row (and NOT a ``WorkspaceMember`` row).
