Court Rules MCP Server

Court Rules MCP connector: tool definition quality and endpoint health on Glama

Judge-level court filing rules, court holiday calendars, and privacy enforcement data for US federal and state courts, as an MCP server.

Court rules are the part of legal work that models get wrong most confidently. Standing orders and individual practices live as PDFs on hundreds of separate court websites, change without notice, and are not in any model's training data. Ask an unaided model what page limit applies in front of a named judge and it will usually invent a plausible number.

This server answers from the actual documents, and every rule carries a citation back to the page and section of the order it came from.

Quick start

No install. Add the hosted server, then sign in once when your client asks. It opens the Court Rules console in your browser; approve the connection and the client stays signed in.

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http court-rules https://mcp.courtrules.app/mcp

Then run /mcp, select court-rules, and choose Authenticate.

  • Claude Desktop and claude.ai: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, URL https://mcp.courtrules.app/mcp, then Connect.

  • Cursor: add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json and click the sign-in prompt in Cursor Settings > MCP.

    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "court-rules": {
      "url": "https://mcp.courtrules.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

  • VS Code, Codex CLI, and others: see the quick start.

Scripts, backends, and clients without sign-in can send the API key from https://console.courtrules.app as Authorization: Bearer <api_key>. Keys do not expire.
