Standardize IOLTA safety in VS Code Copilot

`list_accounts` ensures your entire development team references the correct operating and trust bank accounts. Copilot reads these configurations from the shared MCP Server setup to prevent developers from hardcoding wrong account IDs. Checking specific account properties is handled by `get_account`. This tool validates routing details and account rules to ensure your app's automated payouts never violate state bar guidelines.

Generate and test invoices inside the editor

`create_invoice` allows your team to test billing integrations without leaving VS Code Copilot. This MCP toolset lets Copilot generate a test LawPay invoice, fetch the payload, and verify that the payment link works instantly. Validating unpaid fees is simple with `list_invoices`. Your development team can query active invoices to ensure your webhook handlers process payment notifications correctly.

Debug payment settlements with real ledger data

`list_settlements` pulls cleared bank deposits directly into your Copilot chat. Developers can verify that settlement batches map correctly to internal ledger entries during local integration testing. Granular payment tracking uses `get_transaction` to inspect specific processing fees. This allows your team to write precise fee-splitting logic that guarantees operating fees are never deducted from trust accounts.
