Perplexity

Automate Bounsel workflows in VS Code

Configure the server once in your `.vscode/mcp.json` file for the whole team. Everyone gets instant access to `create_document` and other actions. It removes the friction of manual setup for individual developers. Your team stays in their editor to manage legal tasks.

Access document lists via VS Code

Execute `list_documents` to audit your contract repository directly from the chat. It gives developers visibility into the legal side of their projects. Use `get_document` to inspect specific files for details. You maintain control over your documents without leaving VS Code.

Manage templates with VS Code

Fetch and organize templates using `list_templates` directly in your workspace. It keeps your document generation consistent across the team. Call `send_document` to trigger signature workflows for completed work. Your team moves faster when legal tools are built into the editor.

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
