Cascade manages legal tasks
This MCP Server connects your law practice data directly to Cascade's autonomous engine. You tell Windsurf to prep a case summary, and it figures out the necessary steps without asking for permission at every turn. The agent strings together `list_matters` to find the active case, followed by `list_matter_notes` to pull the recent file history. It compiles the timeline while you focus on drafting the actual argument.
Automate billing through Windsurf
Law firms lose money when attorneys forget to log hours. This MCP connection audits your recent commits and maps them to specific client files automatically. By calling `list_time_entries`, Cascade checks what you already billed today. If it spots a gap, it flags the missing hours so you never drop billable time again.
Matter discovery on autopilot
Opening a new case requires digging through existing templates and client histories. Windsurf handles that background research while you write the initial intake brief. It runs `get_matter_details` to pull the exact case parameters and `list_action_types` to verify the correct workflow format. You get the right context loaded into your editor instantly.
