Every tool in the PracticePanther MCP Server is continuously audited by the Vinkius Security Engine. We guarantee zero-trust payload isolation, strict data boundaries, and deterministic execution for enterprise-grade AI agents.

How Vinkius protects your data

How does the AI access my passwords and credentials?

It simply doesn't. On Vinkius, your passwords, API keys, and login details are kept in a secure vault. The AI (like ChatGPT or Claude) merely "asks" Vinkius to perform the task. Vinkius opens the door, does the work, and hands the result back to the AI. Your credentials are never seen, read, or learned by the artificial intelligence.

What if the AI ends up reading customer data or confidential information?

We have a built-in digital "bodyguard" called DLP (Data Loss Prevention). If a tool fetches data and the response contains social security numbers, credit cards, or personal customer info, Vinkius magically blocks and erases that information before it is delivered to the AI. The AI works only with what is strictly necessary, and your sensitive data never leaks.

Does the AI train on my tools or API data?

No. Vinkius enforces a strict Zero-Retention policy. Your data simply passes through our secure servers to complete the requested action and is instantly forgotten. Nothing you do here is ever stored, logged, or used to train any artificial intelligence.

How do I track billable time with PracticePanther API?

Use create_practicepanther_time_entry to log time against any matter. Provide the matter GUID, description of work, and duration in minutes. You can specify whether the entry is billable and set a custom hourly rate. Use list_practicepanther_time_entries to view all time logged against a specific matter or across all matters.
