Official docs: https://developers.clio.com/
Clio Overview
- Records — core data in Clio Manage
- Operations: create, read, update, delete, list
Working with Clio
This skill uses the Membrane CLI to interact with Clio. Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically — so you can focus on the integration logic rather than auth plumbing.
Install the CLI
Install the Membrane CLI so you can run membrane from the terminal:
npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest
Authentication
membrane login --tenant --clientName=<agentType>
This will either open a browser for authentication or print an authorization URL to the console, depending on whether interactive mode is available.
Headless environments: The command will print an authorization URL. Ask the user to open it in a browser. When they see a code after completing login, finish with:
membrane login complete <code>
Add --json to any command for machine-readable JSON output.
Agent Types : claude, openclaw, codex, warp, windsurf, etc. Those will be used to adjust tooling to be used best with your harness
Connecting to Clio
Use membrane connection ensure to find or create a connection by app URL or domain:
membrane connection ensure "https://clio.com" --json
The user completes authentication in the browser. The output contains the new connection id.
This is the fastest way to get a connection. The URL is normalized to a domain and matched against known apps. If no app is found, one is created and a connector is built automatically.
If the returned connection has state: "READY", skip to Step 2.
1b. Wait for the connection to be ready
If the connection is in BUILDING state, poll until it's ready:
npx @membranehq/cli connection get <id> --wait --json
The --wait flag long-polls (up to seconds, default 30) until the state changes. Keep polling until is no longer .
