Query Matter Details in VS Code Copilot

The `get_matter_details` tool brings production case data directly into your shared VS Code Copilot workspace. This MCP server helps developers write integrations using actual matter structures, bypassing the need to maintain outdated API documentation. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer gets instant access to live matter lookups. This keeps your engineering team aligned when building custom client portals or reporting dashboards.

Sync Client Cards via VS Code Copilot MCP Server

The `update_existing_card` tool updates contact records directly from the VS Code Copilot chat interface. Your team tests sync scripts by calling `list_cards` to verify that edits propagate correctly to the LEAP database. The copilot agent assists in writing migration scripts, validating payloads against the `create_new_card` endpoint. This ensures your custom CRM integrations do not corrupt your primary legal database.

Verify Document Correspondence in the Editor

The `get_matter_correspondence` tool retrieves emails, appointments, and documents associated with a case file inside VS Code Copilot. Developers use this MCP tool to inspect real-world payloads when writing document automation routines. Instead of running external API clients, you call `get_matter_documents_only` directly in your workspace. This speeds up debugging and ensures your file-handling code matches the actual API output.
