Perplexity

Command-line legal reporting and data piping

`list_leap_matters` outputs structured case data directly into your terminal session. Claude Code lets you pipe this output into standard Unix utilities like grep or jq to filter cases by practice area instantly. You can query your active cases, extract matter IDs, and feed them into other CLI scripts without opening a GUI. The terminal-first design allows you to run fast audits on your caseload. You can combine this with `list_leap_tasks` to output a clean list of overdue items directly to your terminal.

Bulk updates with the Claude Code MCP Server

`update_leap_matter` modifies case statuses and descriptions in bulk directly from your shell. When you need to close out multiple matters, you feed the list of IDs to Claude Code, and it loops through the updates in seconds. It uses `get_leap_matter` to confirm each update succeeded before moving to the next. This replaces hours of repetitive clicking in the desktop client. You get direct terminal feedback on every modified record, making bulk updates completely predictable.

Terminal-driven time entry and invoice audits

`create_leap_time_entry` writes billable hours to any matter via a single terminal command. Claude Code parses your shell history or git logs to estimate your active time, then submits the entry. It queries `list_leap_time_entries` to verify the log matches your actual work. For rapid financial audits, the agent runs `get_leap_bill` and `list_leap_payments` to display outstanding invoices directly in your terminal. You can spot unpaid files and trigger follow-up tasks without switching windows.
