How to Use the LawPay MCP in Claude Code

Q: How does Claude Code access my LawPay payment methods?

The MCP Server queries getpaymentmethod to retrieve tokenized card details securely. It displays the masked card number and expiration date in your terminal without exposing the raw cardholder numbers.

Q: Can I monitor daily settlement batches from the command line?

Yes, running listsettlements through the CLI allows you to track bank deposits as they clear. You can filter the output by date to match daily settlement batches against your internal database records.

Perplexity

Headless Command-Line Auditing with MCP

Terminal-based developers need fast, scriptable access to financial records. Using the `list_transactions` tool, Claude Code lets you pipe payment records directly into standard command-line utilities. By running this through the terminal, you can grep, awk, or export your payment logs to CSV files in a single command. You can chain these commands to build automated cron jobs. For instance, have the agent query `list_settlements` every evening at 5 PM to verify bank deposits, notifying your backend systems of cleared funds without needing a graphical interface.

Scripted Trust Fund Compliance

Automating legal billing requires absolute certainty that operating fees do not touch trust accounts. The `get_account_info` tool parses account metadata directly from your shell to verify IOLTA compliance before any payment runs. If the account checks out, the agent can programmatically execute `create_invoice` to generate a new billing record. Any account incorrectly flagged halts the script immediately, protecting your firm from accidental compliance violations.

Terminal-Driven Refund Processing

Processing refunds from the command line is fast and secure. The `get_transaction` tool pulls up-to-the-minute details from the terminal to verify original charge amounts and card tokens. Once verified, the agent executes `create_refund` to return the funds directly to the card on file. This entire process occurs within your secure terminal session, keeping sensitive transaction details out of browser history and local cache files.
