Courtlistener Mcp Server

Overview

Courtlistener Mcp Server lets you search US court opinions, federal dockets, judges, citations, and oral arguments through CourtListener's API. Instead of manually copying between tools, your AI assistant can call these searches directly as part of its workflow through the Model Context Protocol.

You can deploy this server two ways: connect to the hosted endpoint at https://courtlistener.caseyjhand.com/mcp without installing anything locally, or install the npm package @cyanheads/courtlistener-mcp-server on your own machine. You'll need to set the COURTLISTENER_API_TOKEN environment variable. The latest release is v0.7.1 under the Apache-2.0 license, with source code at cyanheads/courtlistener-mcp-server on GitHub.

Courtlistener Mcp Server is listed in the AI & Agents category and works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify your ownership and keep the information up to date.
