Mycase Mcp

MyCase MCP Server

Connect Claude to your MyCase legal practice management system. Ask Claude to look up cases, find contacts, check your calendar, review billing — all without leaving your conversation.

Built by Oktopeak — AI transformation & automation for law firms

Digital transformation for legal and healthcare businesses. We build AI integrations, workflow automation, and custom software your firm owns outright — including this connector. → Book a 30-min call

[!TIP] Not a developer? You don't need to be.

The README below assumes someone comfortable editing a JSON config file. If that's not you or your team, we deploy this for law firms — scoped credentials, audit log wired in, one custom workflow, training.

What it does

Once connected, Claude can talk directly to your MyCase firm data. You can ask things like:

• "What open cases do we have for Jane Smith?"
• "Show me all tasks due this week"
• "What's the outstanding balance on the Anderson case?"
• "Log a 20-minute call with client #1234 about the settlement"
• "List documents attached to case 98765"

Everything goes through MyCase's official OAuth 2.0 API. Your credentials never leave your machine — tokens are stored locally, encrypted with AES-256-GCM.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• A MyCase account with firm admin access
• MyCase API credentials — reach out to MyCase support to request OAuth client credentials for your firm. You'll receive a client_id and client_secret.

Installation

With Claude Desktop (recommended)

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{  "mcpServers": {    "mycase": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@oktopeak/mycase-mcp"],      "env": {        "MYCASE_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id",        "MYCASE_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret"      }    }  }}

Restart Claude Desktop and you're done.

[!TIP] On Windows? The config above works on macOS but not on Windows out of the box. You'll likely hit Could not attach to MCP server mycase (npx invocation), UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE (corporate antivirus SSL inspection), and an OAuth redirect port mismatch. The Windows-friendly config plus all five fixes are in our install guide.

Standalone / development

npm install -g @oktopeak/mycase-mcp

[!TIP] Not the person who edits config files?

If the install above looks like too much, we can deploy it in your firm for you — scoped OAuth credentials, audit log wired into your stack, one custom workflow designed with your team, and training. Most law firms find this is the faster path.

Configuration

If running locally (not via Claude Desktop env vars), copy .env.example to .env and fill it in:

cp .env.example .env

# From MyCase supportMYCASE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_idMYCASE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
# OAuth callback port (default: 5678)# Must match the redirect URI registered with MyCase supportMYCASE_REDIRECT_PORT=5678
# ENCRYPTION_KEY is optional — a key is auto-generated on first run and# stored in your OS keychain. Only set this for CI or headless environments.# ENCRYPTION_KEY=your_64_char_hex_encryption_key

Note: The redirect URI registered with MyCase support must match http://127.0.0.1:{MYCASE_REDIRECT_PORT}/callback. If you're unsure which port was registered, check with MyCase support.

Secret handling

MYCASE_CLIENT_SECRET is the only sensitive credential that needs to live in your config file. The encryption key is managed automatically by the OS keychain — it never appears in any config file.

When using claude_desktop_config.json, restrict that file's permissions so other users on the machine can't read your client secret:

macOS:

chmod 600 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Windows: Right-click the file → Properties → Security → Edit → remove access for all accounts except your own user.

log-call (experimental)

The log-call tool is gated behind an environment variable while its API endpoint is being verified:

MYCASE_EXPERIMENTAL_TOOLS=1

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json env block or .env file to enable it. Leave it unset to keep it hidden from Claude.

Authentication

The first time you use it, you need to authenticate with MyCase:

1. In Claude, call the authenticate tool
2. Your browser will open the MyCase login page
3. Log in and grant access
4. Return to Claude — you're connected

Access tokens are valid for 24 hours and refresh automatically. Refresh tokens typically last 2 weeks (set by the MyCase API). Once the refresh token expires you'll need to re-authenticate.

Your encrypted token file lives at ~/.oktopeak-mycase/tokens.enc. To log out and remove it, call the logout tool.

Note: If the OS keychain is cleared or the encryption key is lost, the existing token file can no longer be decrypted. The server will silently treat it as absent and you'll need to re-authenticate — no data is lost, just the stored session.

A note on multi-user support

This server is single-tenant by design — it stores one set of credentials at a time and is intended for a single firm running it locally. If you authenticate as a different user, the previous token is overwritten.

If you need multiple firms or users, you'd need to run separate instances with separate configurations.

Development

git clone https://github.com/oktopeak/mycase-mcp.gitcd mycase-mcpnpm installcp .env.example .env   # fill in your credentialsnpm run buildnpm run inspect        # opens the MCP inspector in your browser

Running tests

npm test               # run oncenpm run test:watch     # watch mode

Security

• OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM
• The encryption key is auto-generated on first run and stored in your OS keychain (macOS Keychain / Linux Secret Service / Windows Credential Manager) — it never appears in any config file
• Token and audit log files are stored in ~/.oktopeak-mycase/ with mode 0600 (owner-read/write only) on Unix/macOS
• On Windows, restrict %APPDATA%\.oktopeak-mycase via folder Properties → Security
• All API calls go directly from your machine to external-integrations.mycase.com

Vulnerability scan

npm audit --omit=dev reports 0 production vulnerabilities. The vitest dev-dependency carries 5 moderate findings (esbuild, vite) that are unreachable in production and require a major vitest version bump to resolve. They have no impact on deployed server instances.

Need more than the connector?

The open-source connector reads your MyCase data and lets Claude work with it. That handles about 20% of what most firms eventually want.

We help two ways, depending on your scope:

→ Whole firm? The Firm Plan: $300 a month. Set up in your own cloud, every attorney signs in with their own login, one audit log, one automation built for you each month, no setup fee, cancel any time. → oktopeak.com/firm-plan/

→ Legal AI Integration — For multi-workflow builds, document automation, intake automation, custom AI agents, and full compliance architecture across your stack. → oktopeak.com/services/legal-ai-integration/
