Perplexity

Fast-track client intake inside Claude Desktop

The `create_mycase_contact` tool handles creating new client profiles directly from your chat window. You give Claude the name and email, and it builds the record without you opening a browser tab. Once the contact exists, you run `create_mycase_matter` to open the legal file. It links the new case to the client ID immediately so your files stay organized from day one.

Log time entries without leaving the chat

The `create_mycase_time_entry` tool records your billable hours the second you finish a task. You tell your agent what you did, and it logs the exact minutes to the correct case file. This stops the leak of unbilled minutes that happens when you wait until Friday to write down your hours. You can also run `list_mycase_time_entries` to verify what you already logged for the day.

Run case audits via this MCP Server

The `list_mycase_matters` tool pulls your entire active caseload directly into your local workspace. This MCP integration lets you filter by status or practice area to see exactly which files need attention. If you need to find a specific case fast, `search_mycase_matters` scans your database using basic keywords. You get the details instantly instead of digging through slow search menus in other practice management tools.
