Clio announced a partnership with Perplexity on July 23, 2026 to make Vincent available through Computer for Counsel via a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector — set to launch in the coming months. The connector will enable large law firms to access Vincent's legal research, citator analysis, and authority-backed legal reasoning directly within the Perplexity Computer AI work environment, without switching platforms. For KM professionals, the MCP connector model is a structural shift in how firm knowledge is accessed: rather than requiring lawyers to navigate a dedicated KM system or AI platform, structured legal content travels through a protocol layer to wherever the lawyer is working. The MCP architecture turns the knowledge layer into a service that any compliant AI system can call — making KM infrastructure interoperable rather than platform-bound.
