5. iManage Launches MCP Server and Context Fabric at ConnectLive 2026

iManage unveiled the iManage MCP Server on May 14 and showcased its next-generation platform concept — the context fabric — at ConnectLive Chicago on May 20. The MCP Server is a standardised, open-protocol connection enabling any MCP-compatible AI system (Harvey, Legora, ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, or a firm's own agents) to draw on governed iManage content without bespoke integrations, bulk data exports, or modifications to existing security controls, ethical walls, or access permissions. The context fabric is framed as a living foundation that understands and reasons over content, relationships, and real-time activity, continuously enriched by people and agents. New capabilities include AI-specific client-and-matter-level governance controls, iManage Threat Manager surfacing AI agent activity in user reporting, Insight+ Multi-Region Search for global firms, and native OCR to make scanned documents legible to AI. 83% of the Top Global 100 firms and 79% of the Am Law 100 rely on iManage. ConnectLive London runs June 9–10.
