Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for searching public U.S. federal litigation: company profiles, cases, dockets and document metadata.

What you can do
Look up a public company's litigation profile, including industry, linked case count, verification status, top case types and courts, and list its linked cases with filters and pagination. Retrieve a case by its Docket Nexus URL, with caption, court, docket number, dates, judge, cause, nature of suit, parties and disposition. List a case's docket entries newest first, with document availability and pagination. Fetch public metadata for a docket document, such as entry, date, description, page count and parent case. Search public cases by caption words, party-versus-party form, or a federal docket number with its office prefix.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to research public federal court activity around a company or case, check docket history, or confirm whether a document is publicly available, without browsing the site by hand.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at mcp.docketnexus.com; no packages, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
Read-only lookups of public records, but queries reveal which companies and cases you are researching to a third-party service. Document results are metadata only, with no document text, and unpublished docket entries are omitted and only counted, so results may be incomplete.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Docket Nexus in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.docketnexus%2Fdocketnexus/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
