# Connect Case.dev to ChatGPT

> Add Case.dev to ChatGPT as a remote MCP connector with OAuth.

Connect Case.dev to ChatGPT so your team can create matters, search vaults, run OCR, and complete legal workflows without leaving ChatGPT.

<Tip>
  ChatGPT supports remote MCP connectors, so you can connect Case.dev directly.
</Tip>

## Add the connector

1. Open ChatGPT **Settings**.
2. Go to **Connectors**.
3. If needed, enable **Developer mode** in **Connectors → Advanced**.
4. Add a custom remote MCP server.
5. Enter the Case.dev endpoint:

```text title="Remote MCP endpoint" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"one-dark-pro"}}
https://api.case.dev/mcp
```

6. Sign in to Case.dev and approve access.

## Authentication flow

When you add the connector, ChatGPT sends you to Case.dev to sign in and approve access. After that, your tools are available in chat.

  participant ChatGPT
  participant Router as api.case.dev
  participant Console as console.case.dev

  ChatGPT->>Router: Connect to /mcp
  Router-->>ChatGPT: Protected-resource metadata
  ChatGPT->>Console: Open OAuth approval
  Console->>Console: User signs in and approves
  Console->>Router: Exchange code for token
  Router-->>ChatGPT: MCP bearer token
  ChatGPT->>Router: Invoke Case.dev tools
```

## First workflow to try

Start with a simple matter setup flow:

1. `Create a matter called Johnson v. Acme Corp.`
2. `Upload the complaint into the matter vault.`
3. `Create a work item to extract the parties, claims, court, and deadlines.`
4. `Poll the work item until it completes.`
5. `Return the output and download link details.`

This is a quick way to confirm that Case.dev is connected and ready to use.

## Example prompts

* `Set up a new matter for this dispute and create the first legal ops checklist.`
* `Search the vault for arbitration clauses and compare the top results.`
* `Run OCR on these exhibits and tell me which pages were low confidence.`
* `Run legal research on Delaware forum-selection enforcement and save the answer to the matter.`

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The server connects but no tools run">
    Refresh the connector and start a new chat. ChatGPT can keep a previous tool list or sign-in
    state until the connector is refreshed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="OAuth succeeds but the connector still shows an error">
    Remove the connector, add it again, and complete the approval flow one more time. This usually
    clears saved connector details from an earlier setup attempt.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I only want a smaller tool surface">
    Limit the tools exposed in your connector configuration if your workspace supports tool
    filtering.
  </Accordion>
