What features of MyCase are available through this API?

The API provides access to: Matters/Cases (CRUD operations), Contacts/Clients (create and list), Documents (list by matter), Time Entries (list and create), Calendar Events (list), Invoices (list and get details), and Payments (list). You can search matters by keyword, filter by status and practice area, and view all cases for a specific client.

How do I get a MyCase API key?

Log in to your MyCase account at mycase.com, navigate to Settings → API or Integrations, and generate an API key. The key gives you access to your firm's case data, client information, time entries, and billing data. Contact MyCase 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 matters/cases with title, client assignment, status, and practice area. You can also create new contacts/clients with name, email, phone, and contact type (client, opposing party, witness, etc.). Use `create_mycase_matter` and `create_mycase_contact` tools for these operations.

How do I track billable time with MyCase API?

Use `create_mycase_time_entry` to log time against any case. Provide the matter ID, description of work, and duration in minutes. You can specify whether the entry is billable and set a custom hourly rate. Use `list_mycase_time_entries` to view all time logged against a specific case.
