Legal IT Insider’s coverage of iManage’s MCP Server explains that the system allows MCP-compatible AI clients such as Harvey, Legora, ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot or a firm’s own agents to draw on iManage content without bulk exports or changes to security, ethical wall and compliance controls.
