Use `create_mycase_matter` and `create_mycase_contact` tools for these operations.

How do I track billable time with MyCase API?

Use `create_mycase_time_entry` to log time against any case. Provide the matter ID, description of work, and duration in minutes. You can specify whether the entry is billable and set a custom hourly rate. Use `list_mycase_time_entries` to view all time logged against a specific case.

MyCase Legal + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating MyCase Legal MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call MyCase Legal tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
