Frequently asked questions
What features of CloudLex are available through this API?
The API provides access to: Cases/Matters (CRUD operations), Contacts/Clients (create and list), Documents (list by case), Tasks (list by case), Medical Records (list by case), Liens (list by case), Communications (list by case), and Expenses (list by case). You can search cases by keyword, filter by status and practice area, and view all cases for a specific client.
How do I get a CloudLex API key?
Log in to your CloudLex account at cloudlex.com, navigate to Settings → Integrations or API Settings, and generate an API key. The key gives you access to your firm's case data, client information, documents, medical records, and expenses. Contact CloudLex support if you don't see the API option in your account.
Can I create new cases and clients through the API?
Yes! You can create new cases with case name, client assignment, status, practice area, and incident date. You can also create new contacts with first name, last name, email, phone, and contact type (Client, Opposing Party, Witness, Medical Provider, Expert). Use create_cloudlex_case and create_cloudlex_client tools for these operations.
What types of contacts can I manage in CloudLex?
CloudLex supports multiple contact types essential for personal injury practice: Clients (injured parties), Opposing Parties (defendants, insurance adjusters), Witnesses (eyewitnesses, expert witnesses), Medical Providers (doctors, hospitals, physical therapists), and Experts (medical experts, accident reconstructionists, economists). Each contact type can be linked to specific cases and communications.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
