# FAQ

### What can Claude access through Epiq AI MCP?

Claude can access the Epiq AI projects, cases, documents, and related information that you already have permission to view in Epiq AI.

### Can Claude see more than I can see in Epiq AI?

No. Claude can only access what you are already authorized to see.

### Can Claude make changes in Epiq AI?

No. Epiq AI MCP is read-only. Claude can retrieve and summarize information, but it cannot update anything in Epiq AI.

### Does Epiq AI MCP copy my data into Claude?

Epiq AI MCP is intended to let Claude retrieve information from Epiq AI for your session and questions. It is not positioned as a separate Epiq AI data store.

### Should I still use Epiq AI directly?

Yes. Use Claude for conversational exploration, summarization, and question answering. Use Epiq AI for review, updates, and operational workflows.

### Why am I not seeing a project or document in Claude?

If something is missing, common reasons include:

* You do not have access to that content in Epiq AI.
* The connection is not fully authenticated.
* The project or data is outside the scope currently available through Epiq AI MCP.

### Can several people connect at the same time?

Yes. Each person signs in with their own Epiq AI credentials and only ever sees their own data — exactly what they'd see in the Epiq AI web app.

### Whose data does Claude see?

Only yours. Epiq AI MCP uses your login to scope every answer. Other people's projects and documents stay invisible to Claude.

### Does Claude make up answers?

The document and entity searches return **real evidence from your case** — relevant context plus source document IDs and links. Claude reads that evidence to answer, and shows you the sources, so you can verify everything yourself.

### Why does Claude sometimes ask which project I mean?

Document and people searches need to know **which project** to look in. If you haven't said which project, Claude will list your projects and ask so you can point it at the right one.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developers.epiqai.com/reference/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
