Track litigation claims within Claude Desktop

The `list_claims` and `get_claim` tools pull live litigation funding files directly into your Claude Desktop chat panel so you can stop bouncing between browser tabs. You can inspect claimant details, review funding statuses, and check active files without opening your legacy case management system. When you need to update a file, you do not have to copy-paste anything. Just tell your agent to run `update_contact` or create new entries. The tool handles the data transfer directly through your local config, keeping your legal workflows moving.

Automate legal activity logging

The `create_activity` tool logs case milestones automatically using templates retrieved via `list_activity_templates` to eliminate manual data entry. Your agent handles the busywork of logging steps for both claimants and administrators, keeping your records accurate. Because Claude Desktop runs these tools locally via stdio, your session stays fast. You get immediate updates on case progression without waiting on a slow web portal to load.

Direct contact lookup and creation

The `get_contact_by_email` and `get_contact` tools find claimant records instantly during your conversation without requiring multiple database searches. Look, finding claimant details shouldn't take five clicks. Your agent can pull up exact records instantly during a conversation. To add a new admin, the agent executes `create_contact` with the administrator flag set to true. This direct pipeline to your FinLegal database keeps your contact directory accurate and up to date.
