Team-wide litigation tooling inside VS Code Copilot

The `list_cloudlex_cases` tool allows your engineering team to query active matters directly from their shared workspace. You commit the configuration to your repository, giving every developer instant access to the same live database. Having `search_cloudlex_cases` available globally means your team can debug system integrations using identical search parameters. This consistency prevents local configuration drift across your engineering department.

Audit case expenses and liens inside your editor

The `list_cloudlex_expenses` tool retrieves ledger entries for any personal injury case directly into your chat. Your agent analyzes these financial records to write custom billing scripts or financial reports. By pairing this with `list_cloudlex_liens`, you can build automated subrogation calculators. The agent writes the math logic using real, live outstanding balances.

Manage tasks using VS Code Copilot and this MCP Server

The `list_cloudlex_tasks` tool fetches all pending deadlines for your active litigation files. Your team can build automated notifications or sync tasks with external calendars directly from the editor. You can also use `create_cloudlex_client` to test automated intake workflows. This MCP Server setup lets you verify that new contacts are correctly assigned to their respective tasks.
