Overview

Aurora MCP is the official Consilio-hosted Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Aurora eDiscovery Intelligence Suite to AI assistants. It lets legal teams ask natural-language questions across their active Consilio matters, including the documents and metadata that live inside each matter workspace, without exporting data out of Consilio's privately hosted legal AI infrastructure.

The server is remote and provider-hosted at https://mcp.ai.consilio.com. Authentication uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE through Consilio Identity, so the assistant acts as the signed-in user and only sees matters that user is already authorized to access in the Consilio portal. The current toolset is read-only and covers four search operations: matters, workspaces, documents, and tickets. Consilio's docs note that additional capabilities are planned.

Aurora MCP is notable because it is one of the first official integrations from a major eDiscovery vendor that follows the MCP standard, supporting claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot out of the box. The design emphasizes zero new credentials, zero data export, and no server-side retention of prompts or tool output.

Tools

Tool	Description
`searchMatters`	Find Consilio matters/engagements in plain English, scoped to the signed-in user's portal permissions.
`searchWorkspaces`	Locate workspaces inside a matter and see where the work and documents live.
`searchDocuments`	Search documents and associated metadata across the user's accessible matters and workspaces.
`searchTickets`	Search support or workflow tickets associated with the user's matters.

Setup Guide

Prerequisites

An active Consilio user account (same credentials used at portal.consilio.com).
An MCP client that supports OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (S256) and RFC 9728 (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot).
Activation by your Consilio account representative if not already enabled.

Server URL

https://mcp.ai.consilio.com

Claude Desktop

Open Settings, Developer, Edit Config, and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "consilio": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ai.consilio.com"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add consilio https://mcp.ai.consilio.com

claude.ai

Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, then paste the server URL.

Cursor

Settings, MCP, Add server, then paste the server URL.

GitHub Copilot

Add to your workspace mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "consilio": {
      "url": "https://mcp.ai.consilio.com"
    }
  }
}

Authentication

On first use, your client opens a browser to auth.ai.consilio.com. Sign in with your standard Consilio credentials (SSO and MFA are supported), review the read-only consent screen, and approve. Tokens are audience-bound and managed by your client. To verify everything is wired up, ask the assistant: "Whose matters are you seeing?"

Use Cases

Triage active eDiscovery matters by asking the assistant which Consilio matters mention a specific custodian, date range, or topic.
Locate the correct workspace inside a large matter before kicking off a review, using natural language instead of navigating the portal UI.
Run investigative document searches across a matter and pull back answers with citations to the source documents.
Check the status of open Consilio support or workflow tickets without leaving Claude, Cursor, or Copilot.
Give attorneys and case teams an AI front door to Aurora while keeping permissions, governance, and data residency under Consilio's existing controls.

Example Prompts

"List all of my active Consilio matters that involve custodian Jane Doe."
"In the Acme v. Beta matter, which workspace holds the second-request production documents?"
"Search the Smith litigation for documents discussing the August 2025 board meeting and cite the sources."
"Are there any open Consilio tickets on the Northwind matter from the last week?"
"Summarize the key issues across documents tagged 'privileged' in my Project Atlas workspace."

Pros

Official, vendor-hosted MCP server from Consilio, so no self-hosting or third-party intermediary is required.
Strong security posture: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, Consilio Identity SSO and MFA, audience-bound tokens, read-only tools, and no server-side prompt or tool-output retention.
Permissions mirror the Consilio portal exactly, so users only see matters they are already entitled to.
Works across multiple major MCP clients out of the box (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot).

Limitations

Read-only. No tools to create, update, or delete matters, workspaces, documents, or tickets.
Restricted to existing Consilio customers; activation generally requires coordination with a Consilio account representative.
Initial tool surface is narrow (four search tools); broader project and workflow capabilities are still listed as coming soon.

Alternatives
