How to Use the MyCase Legal MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Q: How do I connect MyCase Legal to the OpenAI Agents SDK?

Install the package via pip and configure the MCPServerStreamableHttp parameter with your endpoint URL. Pass it directly to your Agent constructor. The SDK will automatically discover all 16 MCP tools, including case management and time tracking.

Q: Can my agent update existing matters in MyCase?

Yes. Your agent calls updatemycasematter to change case statuses or modify descriptions. The built-in tracing lets you monitor exactly when and why an agent modified a file.

Q: How does the OpenAI Agents SDK handle MyCase Legal rate limits?

Enable cacheToolsList=True in your server configuration to reduce unnecessary discovery calls. Production deployments also benefit from the SDK native retry logic when pulling heavy endpoints like listmycaseinvoices.

Q: Does MyCase Legal with OpenAI Agents SDK keep client data private?

Client names, case descriptions, and listmycasedocuments payloads never train base models. The V8 Isolate Sandbox destroys the environment immediately after the operation completes. Your firm's confidential litigation records remain entirely secure during the MCP execution.

Build production-ready legal agents with OpenAI Agents SDK that manage cases, track billable hours, and sync calendars safely.

Automate billable hours with OpenAI Agents SDK

Law firms bleed revenue through untracked micro-tasks. You wire `create_mycase_time_entry` into your agent to log time automatically after every client call or document review. The SDK guardrails ensure your agent formats the duration and description perfectly before it hits the billing cycle. Finding missing revenue becomes trivial. Your billing agent pulls `list_mycase_time_entries` and compares it against `list_mycase_calendar_events`. If a partner attended a hearing but left the timesheet blank, the system flags the discrepancy and drafts the entry for review.

Hands-free client intake and matter creation

Onboarding a new client usually requires a paralegal to manually key in data across three different screens. Hook up `create_mycase_contact` to an intake agent that processes inbound emails. Once the contact exists, the agent triggers `create_mycase_matter` to open the file and assign the practice area. Handoffs between specialized agents keep this safe. A junior intake agent drafts the record, but you configure the SDK to require human approval before the final API call executes. You get the speed of automation without risking malpractice from a hallucinated client ID.

Search your MyCase MCP Server caseload

Finding specific case files across a massive firm database takes too long. Your OpenAI agent uses `search_mycase_matters` to instantly locate files based on loose keyword queries. Instead of clicking through menus, attorneys just ask their internal bot for the latest updates on the Smith divorce. The agent then pulls the full context using `get_client_mycase_cases` to see the client's entire history. Since the MCP standard auto-discovers these tools, you avoid writing custom mapping logic entirely. You just pass the server URL to the agent constructor and start querying.

Setup guide

Set up MyCase Legal MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use MCPServerSse with your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. The SDK auto-discovers all MyCase Legal tools at runtime.
3

Create your Agent

Pass the MCP to Agent(mcp_servers=[server]). The agent receives MyCase Legal tools as native definitions — JSON schemas resolve automatically.
4

Run the agent

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate MyCase Legal tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="MyCase Legal Agent",
            instructions="You have access to MyCase Legal tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)

asyncio.run(main())

You control access by defining specific agent guardrails before execution. If you want to block the bot from using `create_mycase_contact`, you enforce validation rules that reject the action or require explicit human approval.

Client names, case descriptions, and `list_mycase_documents` payloads never train base models. The V8 Isolate Sandbox destroys the environment immediately after the operation completes. Your firm's confidential litigation records remain entirely secure during the MCP execution.
