What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 13, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • clio_who_am_i

    Fetch the Clio user this access token belongs to — name, email, subscription type, time zone and default_calendar_id (needed to create calendar entries). A cheap way to confirm the token and region are right. Clio: GET /users/who_am_i.json.

  • clio_list_users

    List the firm's Clio users (attorneys and staff) — use their ids for responsible attorneys, time entries and task assignees. Clio: GET /users.json.

  • clio_list_matters

    Search and list matters (the firm's cases) with their client, practice area, responsible attorney and status. `query` wildcard-matches matter number or description and the client's name; custom_field_id + custom_field_value filter by one of the firm's custom fields (e.g. a court

  • clio_get_matter

    Fetch a single matter by id, with its client, practice area, stage, attorneys and custom field values (field_name + value; a picklist value is an option id, see clio_list_custom_fields). Clio: GET /matters/{id}.json.

  • clio_list_contacts

    Search and list contacts — clients, prospective clients, companies, opposing parties and co-counsel. `query` wildcard-matches name, email, phone, address and more; custom_field_id + custom_field_value filter by one of the firm's custom fields. Clio: GET /contacts.json.

  • clio_get_contact

    Fetch a single contact by id with all email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, web sites and custom field values (field_name + value; a picklist value is an option id, see clio_list_custom_fields). Clio: GET /contacts/{id}.json.

  • clio_list_activities

    List activities — time entries, expense entries and fixed fees — with hours, rate, total and billing status. Filter by matter, user, type, status or date range. `quantity` is in seconds; `quantity_in_hours` is hours. Clio: GET /activities.json.

  • clio_list_tasks

    List tasks with status, priority, due date, matter and assignee. Filter by matter, assignee, status, priority or a due-date range — e.g. what is due this week. Clio: GET /tasks.json.

  • clio_list_calendar_entries

    List calendar entries (hearings, meetings, deadlines) in a time window, optionally for one matter or calendar. Set expanded=true to get each occurrence of recurring events. Clio: GET /calendar_entries.json.

  • clio_list_bills

    List bills (invoices) with state, totals, amount due and dates. Filter by client, matter, state, overdue, or issue/due date. Clio: GET /bills.json.

  • clio_get_bill

    Fetch a single bill by id with its state, totals, balance, client and matters. Clio: GET /bills/{id}.json.

  • clio_list_documents

    List documents (metadata only: name, file name, type, size, category, dates) for a matter, a contact or a folder, or search them by name. Clio: GET /documents.json.

  • clio_list_notes

    List notes on a matter or a contact, with subject, body, date and author. Clio requires type; narrow to one matter or contact with matter_id or contact_id. Clio: GET /notes.json.

  • clio_list_custom_fields

    List the firm's custom fields for matters or contacts — name, type, whether required, and the options of picklist fields (option id + text). Use the ids to filter clio_list_matters / clio_list_contacts and to read the values that clio_get_matter / clio_get_contact return. Clio: G

  • clio_list_communications

    List logged communications — phone calls and emails recorded on matters — with subject, body, date, senders and receivers. Filter by matter, contact, user, type or date range, or search subject and body. Clio: GET /communications.json.

  • clio_create_contact

    WRITE: Create a contact — a person (give first_name and/or last_name) or a company (give name) — optionally with an email address and phone number. Clio: POST /contacts.json.

  • clio_create_matter

    WRITE: Open a new matter for an existing client contact. Requires the client's contact id and a description. Clio: POST /matters.json.

  • clio_create_time_entry

    WRITE: Record billable (or non-billable) time on a matter. Give hours as a decimal (1.5 = 90 minutes); it is sent to Clio as seconds. If price (hourly rate) is omitted Clio applies the firm's rate hierarchy; if user_id is omitted it records for the token's user. Clio: POST /activ

  • clio_create_task

    WRITE: Create a task and assign it to a firm user or a contact, optionally on a matter with a due date and priority. Clio: POST /tasks.json.

  • clio_update_task

    WRITE: Update a task — mark it complete, change its status, due date, priority, name or description, or reassign it. Only the fields given are changed. Clio: PATCH /tasks/{id}.json.

  • clio_create_note

    WRITE: Add a note to a matter (type Matter + matter_id) or to a contact (type Contact + contact_id). Clio: POST /notes.json.

  • clio_log_communication

    WRITE: Record a phone call or an email on Clio's communication log, optionally on a matter, with who it was from and to. This only records it: Clio sends nothing. To bill the time, also use clio_create_time_entry. Clio: POST /communications.json.

  • clio_create_calendar_entry

    WRITE: Put an event on a Clio calendar — a hearing, meeting or deadline — optionally linked to a matter. calendar_id is the calendar to put it on (the token user's own is default_calendar_id from clio_who_am_i). Clio: POST /calendar_entries.json.

Common questions

Is Clio MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed yesterday, and the latest version (1.23.1) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

Clio MCP by usefulapi

Work with your firm's Clio Manage data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — look up matters, contacts, time and expense entries, tasks, calendar entries, bills, document details (names and metadata, never file contents) and notes; create contacts, matters, time entries, tasks, notes and calendar entries and update tasks. It never deletes anything, changes a bill or touches payments or trust accounts. Hosted, no local install: connect with your Clio account over OAuth.

Live endpoint: https://clio.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/clio

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://clio.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http clio https://clio.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "clio": { "url": "https://clio.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and you sign in with your Clio account.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/clio/

On first connect you'll be sent to Clio to sign in and approve access; no API keys to paste. For Clio accounts in the US region. The server can do only what your Clio user is allowed to do. You can revoke the access any time in Clio. One subscription covers one Clio user in one firm.
