Legora Links iManage MCP Server for Legal Teams
The planned connection would let shared customers reach governed document knowledge from iManage directly inside Legora's AI workflows.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Artificial Intelligence
Legal AI company Legora plans to connect with the iManage MCP Server for customers that use both platforms. The integration builds on an existing API link that already lets lawyers browse, search, access and save documents back to iManage.
Why it matters
Legora says the work reflects demand from firms to use existing legal work product and knowledge inside newer AI tools rather than leaving it siloed. iManage remains the central repository, with user permissions in iManage still determining what each person can retrieve.
Legora reports more than 130,000 legal professionals at over 2,000 firms and in-house teams across 80 markets, while iManage reports more than one million professionals at 4,500 organisations. The release does not say how many customers use both platforms or when the connection will be available.
The players
Legora
Legora is a legal AI company that describes itself as an operating system for legal work and is used by lawyers at firms and in-house legal teams.
iManage
iManage is a document and knowledge management platform for legal and professional services organisations, serving customers worldwide.
The details
The iManage MCP Server supports creating workspaces and folders and filing, moving and linking documents, which Legora says will expand options for updating document information through its workflows. Work produced through AI tools can be written back into iManage under the same permissions, audit trail and lifecycle rules.
Timeline
The planned connection has not been given a specific launch date in the announcement.
The Tech Race
The planned link follows the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI applications connect to external data sources through standardized servers. Legora's move positions it to connect with governed enterprise repositories rather than building competing storage.
Lawyers who already use both platforms could eventually retrieve prior matter knowledge from iManage inside Legora without switching applications. Access will still follow the permissions set in iManage, so users see only the material they are already authorised to view.
The takeaway
Firms evaluating AI legal tools may want to check how each platform handles permissions and audit trails before connecting it to their document repository.
