MCP Integration
If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.
The plugin connects to your tools through MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers:
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Chat | Slack, Teams | Team requests, notifications, triage |
| Cloud storage | Box, Egnyte | Playbooks, templates, precedents |
| Office suite | Microsoft 365 | Email, calendar, documents |
| Project tracker | Atlassian (Jira/Confluence) | Matter tracking, tasks |
See CONNECTORS.md for the full list of supported integrations, including CLM, CRM, e-signature, and additional options.
Configure connections in .mcp.json. The plugin gracefully degrades when tools are unavailable — it will note gaps and suggest manual checks.
