Frequently asked questions
What features of LEAP Legal are available through this API?
The API provides access to: Matters/Cases (CRUD operations), Contacts/Clients (create and list), Time Entries (list and create), Bills/Invoices (list and get), Payments (list), Tasks (list), Documents (list by matter), Calendar Events (list), and Custom Fields (list schemas). You can search matters by keyword, filter by status and practice area, and view all matters for a specific client.
How do I get a LEAP Legal API access token?
Visit the LEAP Developer Console at developer.leap.build and register your application. Use OAuth 2 authentication to obtain an access token. The token is used as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for all API requests. Contact LEAP support if you need help setting up API access for your firm.
Can I create new matters and contacts through the API?
Yes! You can create new matters with name, client assignment, status, and practice area. You can also create new contacts with first name, last name, email, phone, and contact type (Client, Opposing Party, Witness, etc.). Use create_leap_matter and create_leap_contact tools for these operations.
How do I track billable time with LEAP Legal API?
Use create_leap_time_entry to log time against any matter. 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_leap_time_entries to view all time logged against a specific matter or across all matters.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
