Standardized firm data in VS Code

Commit your server config to the repo via `.vscode/mcp.json` so every dev on your team uses the same tools. It brings `list_leap_matters` and `get_leap_matter` to everyone's editor. Manage shared tasks using `list_leap_tasks`. It keeps your engineering and legal teams aligned on what needs attention, providing a single source of truth for your firm's operations.

Automated intake for legal teams

Handle client intake as a team by using `create_leap_contact`. It ensures that new records are created consistently across the firm's database, regardless of which developer is running the tool. Use `list_leap_custom_fields` to see what metadata your firm tracks. This helps your team build custom automations that respect your specific internal data requirements.

Enterprise-grade billing and reporting

Review firm-wide financial performance by calling `list_leap_bills`. It allows your team to analyze billing trends and payment history directly from the editor. Track progress on matters by checking `list_leap_time_entries`. It gives your team a clear view of how much time is being spent on specific cases, helping you manage your firm's capacity.
