Clio Manage for AI agents
Clio Manage runs the operational side of a law firm, handling matters, calendars, billing, and documents for legal practices across several countries. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

How Clio Manage connects.
Users sign in to Clio Manage on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Clio Manage OAuth app, or bring your own so the Clio Manage consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
The same Clio Manage connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

Clio Manage and Arc0, answered.
Can I use Clio Manage with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

How do users connect Clio Manage?
Users sign in to Clio Manage on Arc0 Connect and approve the scopes you request. Build with Arc0’s Clio Manage OAuth app, or bring your own so the Clio Manage consent screen names you. Tokens refresh automatically, and you can export them whenever you want.
Which Clio Manage actions can my agent take?
99 in total: 52 read, 33 write and 14 destructive, such as “create Task”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.
Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Clio Manage?
Yes. Actions like “delete Bill” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.
