## Capabilities

### List all active cases
You can list every legal matter in your DISCO account or retrieve specific detailed settings and statuses for a chosen case.

The MCP lets you get the full technical metadata for any document, including its custodian, plus search for keywords across documents within a matter.

### Manage user access and teams

## Use Cases

### Need an audit trail for sensitive documents?
A paralegal needs to confirm who has viewed 'Project Aurora' files. Instead of manually checking permissions, they ask their agent to use `list_matter_access_users` and immediately get a list of everyone with explicit access.

### Need an overview of all open cases?
A legal ops manager starts the day needing a count of active matters. They simply ask their agent to run `list_legal_matters` and get a summary list, allowing them to prioritize which cases need attention first.

### Need to confirm document tags for compliance?
A litigation support team member needs to know if all documents in 'Smith vs. Jones' are tagged correctly. They use the MCP to run `list_document_tags` on that matter and get a comprehensive list of applied taxonomies.

### Need to check document properties quickly?
An attorney needs to verify when a key piece of evidence was added. They ask their agent to use `get_document_metadata` on the file name and instantly learn its ingestion date, custodian, and other technical specs.

## Benefits

- You instantly get full technical metadata for any file. Instead of navigating deep into a document viewer to find out who the custodian is, your agent delivers that detail immediately.
- Monitor user access easily. The MCP lets you list matter access users or check account-wide authorized users in seconds. You'll know exactly who sees what without manual verification.
- Run targeted searches across cases using `search_matter_documents`. Instead of relying on keyword filters, ask your agent to search for 'contract termination' across all documents related to a specific matter.
- Stay updated on document flow. Use `list_recently_ingested_documents` to get an immediate overview of what has been added since you last checked in, perfect for quick daily stand-ups.
- Understand your structure by listing document tags. You can use the MCP to list all tags used for organization within a matter, giving you a clear map of how data is categorized.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does DISCO help me track document tags?**
You use the `list_document_tags` tool to get an inventory of all tags applied to documents within a specific matter. This confirms your organization's taxonomy and helps ensure compliance.

**Can I find out which users see my case files using DISCO MCP?**
Yes, you use `list_matter_access_users` to get an explicit list of every authorized user for a specific matter. This is faster and more reliable than checking permissions manually.

**What if I need metadata on documents in multiple matters?**
You first run `list_legal_matters` to get all relevant cases, then you can loop through those matter IDs and use `get_document_metadata` for each one. The MCP helps structure this multi-step process.

**Is the DISCO MCP limited to just viewing data?**
It's primarily designed for reading and retrieving information, allowing you to check statuses using `get_matter_details` or find documents via `search_matter_documents`. It does not perform document creation.

**How do I search for specific keywords across my files?**
You use the `search_matter_documents` tool. You must provide the name of a matter first, and then specify your search term to keep results focused and accurate.
