How to Use the LEAP Legal MCP in Cline

Q: How does Cline interact with LEAP Legal endpoints?

Cline calls tools like listleapcontacts and createleapmatter directly from its MCP sidebar. You write a prompt detailing what you want built or updated, and Cline writes the necessary code or executes the API calls to complete the task.

Cline runs listleapcustomfields to understand your firm's specific database schema. Once it knows the exact fields, it can map your local data to those custom fields when creating or updating matters.

Building custom dashboards with Cline and LEAP Legal

`list_leap_matters` retrieves your entire active caseload to supply data to your custom local interfaces. When you instruct Cline to build a status tracker, it writes the React components, fetches live data through the MCP Server, and displays your active files in VS Code. It doesn't just show mockups; it links real API data to your custom UI. The agent edits your local files and runs tests to confirm the integration works. It uses `get_leap_matter` to populate detailed views, ensuring your custom tools reflect the exact state of your production LEAP database.

End-to-end client setup using the Cline MCP Server

`create_leap_contact` instantiates new client profiles based on email threads or markdown intake forms in your workspace. Cline parses these local files, extracts names and emails, and runs the API call to build the contact record. It then links this contact to a case file using `create_leap_matter` without requiring manual copy-pasting. This eliminates data entry errors during intake. Cline confirms the creation by writing the generated IDs back into your local markdown files, keeping your offline notes perfectly synced with LEAP.

Direct timesheet generation and bill checks

`create_leap_time_entry` logs billable hours directly from your coding files or documentation work inside VS Code. Cline analyzes your git diffs or file edit times, formats the duration, and posts the entry to the designated matter. It uses `list_leap_time_entries` to verify that the hours were successfully recorded. To prevent billing leakage, Cline compares your local logs against `list_leap_bills`. It flags discrepancies where work was completed but no invoice has been generated, helping you capture every billable event.
