How to Use the LawPay MCP in Claude

Perplexity

Keep your trust funds safe with the LawPay MCP Server

`get_account_stats` checks trust balances before you touch a single dollar. Your agent inspects bank configurations using `get_account_info` to guarantee retainer fees land in your IOLTA account rather than operating funds. Mistakes here cost legal licenses. You get instant verification of deposit destinations via `list_accounts` to keep state bar auditors happy during audits.

Manage legal billing directly inside Claude Desktop

This MCP server lets `create_invoice` build client bills right inside your chat window. Claude Desktop reads your billing instructions, formats the line items, and sends the payment link immediately. Tracking open balances requires zero manual spreadsheet updates. Run `list_invoices` to pull unpaid balances and let your Claude Desktop agent draft polite follow-up emails for overdue clients.

Audit every transaction directly in your chat

`get_transaction` pulls the exact history of any deposit or processing fee. This tool keeps your internal ledgers reconciled without requiring you to switch tabs to a separate billing portal. Settlement tracking happens instantly when you ask your agent to run `list_settlements`. You see exactly when funds clear and which card tokens from `list_payment_methods` were processed.
