Connect Justia Legal Intelligence MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Justia Legal Intelligence to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Autonomous case law discovery
Cascade uses `search_legal_cases` to dig through massive legal databases the moment you define your research goal. It pulls relevant precedents directly into your active workspace. Stop digging through static files. You get the raw case data indexed and ready for your review without leaving the IDE.
Statutory analysis in Windsurf
Your agent calls `get_state_statutes` to fetch current laws for any jurisdiction. It maps these statutes against your specific legal problem automatically. This MCP Server provides the exact text you need. You verify the law while your agent handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval.
Multi-step legal workflows
Windsurf sequences multiple tool calls to synthesize findings into a coherent draft. It connects the dots between statutes and case law on its own. Everything happens in your editor. You see the chain of logic as the server delivers the evidence for your legal arguments.
