Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, LEAP Legal becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call LEAP Legal tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

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 CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
