How to Use the CloudLex Legal MCP in Cursor
Build legal tech tools and manage case data right from your Cursor editor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect CloudLex Legal MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect CloudLex Legal to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Live case testing with real litigation data
The `get_cloudlex_case` tool pulls actual matter details directly into your Cursor editor during development. You can write your custom legal apps using live data instead of static, outdated JSON mocks. Combining this with `list_cloudlex_cases` lets you test complex filtering logic against real-world practice areas. Your agent runs these queries in real-time to verify your code handles empty fields gracefully.
Build client dashboards in Cursor using this MCP Server
The `get_client_cloudlex_cases` tool retrieves the complete case history for any contact in your database. You can instantly generate and test UI components that render client portfolios. Your agent writes the frontend code while pulling live lists of expenses using `list_cloudlex_expenses`. This MCP Server workflow ensures your code matches the actual API schema.
Update case records directly from your workspace
The `update_cloudlex_case` tool modifies live litigation records without requiring you to open a web browser. You can edit case descriptions, adjust incident dates, or update statuses directly from the terminal. If you need to verify the change, `search_cloudlex_cases` lets you query the updated record instantly. This tight feedback loop speeds up back-office tool development.
