This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Mattergate
A self-hostable MCP permissions gateway for legal-tech systems.
The goal is simple: connect legal apps once, then expose only the MCP tools each team member should actually use. Mattergate is not a data lake. It is a thin policy and audit layer over vendor APIs.
Current status
This is a scaffold. It includes:
TypeScript npm workspace project
Policy engine with job-title presets and deny precedence
Connector SDK with a mock legal connector
MCP gateway core that filters visible tools and enforces permissions on invocation
Minimal HTTP server and CLI placeholders
Lightweight admin UI scaffold
Public landing page app for the open-source project
Research and planning docs
Real Lawmatics/Filevine/Clio/MyCase/etc. connectors come later.

Why this exists
Legal-tech APIs are inconsistent. Some vendors enforce the authenticated user's in-app permissions. Others expose broad account-level API access, weak scopes, service-account access, or docs that are silent. Lawmatics is the clearest reason to build a policy gateway: its public OAuth docs state that it does not support scopes and authorization grants full CRUD access to the account.

research/ Ignored local research markdown filesSecurity posture
Bring-your-own vendor OAuth app/client credentials. Do not ship shared client secrets.
Encrypt OAuth refresh tokens, API keys, and vendor client secrets before any real connector work.
Hide tools a user cannot invoke, but also enforce permission checks on every invocation.
Default writes to dry-run where possible.
Label external vendor content as untrusted data.
Audit metadata, not raw legal content.
