What is the Aurora MCP server?

The Aurora MCP server is Consilio's hosted bridge between an AI assistant and the eDiscovery engagements your team already runs on the Aurora platform. It answers questions about matters, workspaces, documents, and support tickets over a single Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.ai.consilio.com, and every response is filtered through the entitlements of whoever signed in. Nothing is written back — this is a read path by design.

What it does

Legal teams lose more hours to navigation than to analysis: finding the right alpha code, remembering which workspace holds the production set, chasing down a document someone referenced on a status call. Aurora collapses that into conversation. You ask for the matters tied to a client, the assistant resolves them, and you keep drilling — into workspaces, then documents — without switching tabs. Results carry source URLs, so anything the assistant asserts can be opened and verified in the Aurora UI rather than taken on faith.

Key capabilities

  • Matter discovery in plain language. Search engagements by client name, alpha code, or a fuzzy description of the dispute instead of memorising internal identifiers.
  • Workspace mapping. Once you have a matter, list the workspaces beneath it to see where review, production, or analytics work actually lives.
  • Document lookup with citations. Retrieve documents and their associated metadata from the matter repository, with links you can click through.
  • Ticket visibility. Check the status of Consilio project and support tickets attached to an engagement.
  • Identity-scoped execution. Requests run as the signed-in user. There are no service accounts or shared keys parked inside your assistant, so an entitlement change takes effect on the next call.

When to use it

This connector earns its keep when the bottleneck is recall across a large matter portfolio rather than raw document review. A case team preparing for a meet-and-confer, a project manager reconciling workspace status across a dozen engagements, or a partner asking what was produced on a given matter and when — all of those get answered in seconds. If you need bulk export, tagging, coding decisions, or anything that mutates the record, you still go to the Aurora application; the connector deliberately refuses to write.

Setup and access

Connection uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and RFC 9728 protected-resource discovery, so most clients need nothing beyond the URL. On first connect your client opens a browser, you authenticate with Consilio Identity (the same SSO you use elsewhere), and the token is reused afterwards. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and GitHub Copilot all handle that flow natively.

Honest caveats

This is a customer-gated connector. Without an active Consilio account and at least one entitled matter, the endpoint returns nothing useful — an unauthenticated request is rejected outright with a missing-JWT error. Consilio states that prompts and tool outputs are not retained and only short operational metrics are kept, which matters when you are running privilege-sensitive queries, but confirm that against your own engagement terms before pointing an assistant at live matters. Availability is also rolling out progressively rather than being switched on for every tenant at once, so check with your Consilio contact before planning workflows around it.

What you can do with it

Matter triage before a call

Pull the engagements tied to a client and summarise their current workspace layout minutes before a status meeting.

Cited answers from the matter repository

Ask a factual question across documents in an active matter and get an answer with links back to the underlying records.

Portfolio hygiene checks

Sweep across several engagements to spot workspaces or tickets that have gone stale without opening each one by hand.

How to install the Aurora MCP server

claude mcp add aurora --transport http https://mcp.ai.consilio.com

Configuration

An active Consilio account with Aurora entitlements; the connector is read-only and authenticates through Consilio Identity SSO.

Example prompts to try

  • Which Consilio matters are open for Northwind Trading, and what workspaces exist under each?
  • Search the Henderson matter for documents mentioning the 2023 supplier audit and cite the sources.
  • Are there any open Consilio tickets on the matters I have access to?
  • Show me the workspace structure for matter code NWT-114.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Consilio built it as a read path: the exposed tools search matters, workspaces, documents, and tickets, and none of them write, update, or delete anything. If you need to change coding decisions, tag documents, or export a production set, you do that in the Aurora application itself.
