Source-linked research on U.S. judges, courts, cases, and judicial analytics.
A read-only remote MCP server for source-linked research on U.S. judges, courts, legal-AI error cases, and immigration outcome analytics.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
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.knowjudges%2Fknowjudges/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.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

}Source-linked U.S. judge, court, legal-AI case, and immigration-outcome research through a read-only remote MCP server.
https://mcp.knowjudges.com/mcpThe deployed server advertises 10 tools. This reference was checked against live tools/list on October 12, 2026. Discover the deployed inputSchema and outputSchema rather than assuming a client’s cached catalog is current. All tools return structured, source-linked public results and advertise readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, and openWorldHint: false. They cannot file documents, email judges, or change records.
Add the endpoint in your client's remote MCP settings. Configuration names vary; a URL-only setup is sufficient where supported.
Optional inputs are omitted when not needed. Dates use YYYY-MM-DD. State/jurisdiction codes in schemas that require two letters are case-insensitive.
For asylum analytics, percentages use grants plus denials; procedural outcomes are reported separately. Samples below 35 decisions are labeled rather than hidden. Zero decisions mean no rate, not 0%. Keep availability, message, denominator/geography definitions, source, period coverage, and limitations. Historical rates neither predict an individual outcome nor imply that a person can choose a judge.
Use URLs returned by discovery, preserving their exact jurisdiction-qualified form. Do not construct URLs from names or use bare slugs, internal keys, or IDs.
The follow-ups are alternatives selected by the question, not a requirement to call all three. profile_url in a discovery result becomes judge_url in these tool inputs.
A judge-specific change lookup instead uses judge_url from judge discovery. An empty court roster means no indexed current matches; a null count means roster data is unavailable. Neither establishes the actual court has no judges. Retain location-specific contact notes rather than treating one courthouse's address or phone as courtwide.
Report the recorded outcome and preserve the returned decision-link status; inclusion in the dataset alone does not establish a judicial finding that AI was used.
Use an available, non-null returned public URL for the follow-up. These examples illustrate inputs; they do not guarantee data for a particular nationality/year.
_meta["openai/subject"] use an anonymous subject bucket: 60 tool requests/hour, 300/day, and 100 new identities/day. openai/session is not a durable quota key.For datasets or recurring/bulk use, see https://knowjudges.com/data-licensing.
Keep returned KnowJudges URLs, source/official URLs, source titles, excerpts, scope/applicability, effective/revision dates, and last-checked dates where present. Judge-specific, courtwide, statewide, and nationally applicable federal/EOIR guidance are different authority scopes. Broader rules are not personal preferences. Missing documented practice findings establish neither permission nor prohibition.
last_updated describes publication, while last_verified or source_checked_at describes an evidence check. A recent publication does not mean every source was checked that day. Preserve supported year-only biography dates and factual uncertainty.
AI-case links may be verified decision destinations or explicitly labeled source fallbacks. Preserve decision_link_status, dataset_source, and summary_note; a fallback URL must not be described as a verified official court decision. Unknown ruling counts are unavailable, not zero. Check the linked source before relying on a requirement; case-specific orders may control.
Third-party listings and client tool catalogs may lag a release; live tools/list is authoritative.

Find likely US judges by identifying search text, optionally narrowed by court, state, or county. Use this before requesting a profile when the canonical KnowJudges profile URL is unknown. Specifically named matches may have historical or uncertain service; retain their reported status. Returns at most 10 matches linked to canonical KnowJudges profiles; empty and bulk searches are unavailable.
courtlimitqueryrequiredstatecountyFind reported AI-related legal-error cases, including fabricated citations and authorities. Use query for a case name, error type, or outcome; response distinguishes sanctions from no sanctions. Optional court, judge, state, and date filters narrow results. Returns at most 10 cases with verified decision links or labeled source fallbacks. Describe recorded allegations and outcomes; dataset inclusion alone does not establish a judicial finding of AI use. Empty and bulk searches are unavailable.
courtjudgelimitquerystateto_dateresponsefrom_dateGet one judge's public profile using the canonical profile URL from find_judges. Use for identity and assignments; use get_judge_biography for biography and get_courtroom_presentation_rules for practice. Preserve stated uncertainty: an assignment end date does not by itself end judicial service or establish a senior-status transition. Source check dates describe evidence checks; last_updated describes publication. Missing fields are unavailable information. Broader rules are not personal preferences.
judge_urlrequiredGet one judge's source-attributed birth details, education, and professional and judicial careers using the canonical profile URL from find_judges. Use for biographical questions rather than courtroom practice. Preserves date granularity, provenance, and source check dates; age is returned only for a valid full date of birth, otherwise null. Missing biography fields mean unavailable information, not a failed lookup.
judge_urlrequiredAnswer a named judge's courtroom presentation or practice rules question using documented findings and source links. Resolve judge_url with find_judges. Use up to 10 topics to focus on materials, procedures, or a named part. Put relevant judge-specific requirements first and retain source deadlines. Summary Jury Trial and Commercial Division guidance is conditional. Broader rules are not personal preferences. Missing findings establish neither permission nor prohibition. Answer without looking up court metadata or a judge roster unless the user asks.
topicsjudge_urlrequiredFind recorded KnowJudges profile or courtroom-rule changes since an inclusive date, optionally narrowed to the canonical judge_url from find_judges or court_url from find_court. Court filtering includes changes associated with that court and its indexed judge profiles; ambiguous court-only records are omitted. Use to check documented updates; returns at most 25 records. Change tracking begins at the reported launch date, so an empty result does not prove that no earlier real-world rule changed.
limitsincerequiredcourt_urljudge_urlFind a court by name or location when the user asks for court identity, metadata, or a judge roster and its KnowJudges identity is unknown. For a named judge's courtroom presentation or practice rules, use get_courtroom_presentation_rules. Optionally narrow by jurisdiction or state. Returns at most 10 courts with names, state/jurisdiction, and canonical public URLs. No pagination or bulk listing is available. Use the returned court_url with get_court.
limitqueryrequiredstatejurisdictionGet one court's identity, jurisdiction, profile URL, core metadata, and up to 10 judges classified as current when the user asks for court information or a roster. For a named judge's courtroom presentation or practice rules, use get_courtroom_presentation_rules. Use the court_url from find_court. Counts cover indexed profiles classified as active, senior, recalled, or visiting, not an independently verified complete bench. Retain roster coverage and location-specific contact notes. No pagination is available. An empty roster means no indexed current matches; a null count means unavailable roster data.
limitcourt_urlrequiredGet immigration judge or court outcomes using its canonical public profile URL. Filter jointly by nationality, calendar/fiscal proceeding-completion year and recorded court state. Asylum grant/denial percentages use grant-coded plus denied outcomes; procedural outcomes are separate. Samples below 35 decisions are labeled; no decisions means no rate. Returns sources and coverage. Use proceeding_removal_rate only for explicitly requested broader proceeding outcomes.
yearstateentityrequiredmetricyear_basisnationalityprofile_urlrequiredCompare highest/lowest recorded immigration rates by judge or court, jointly filtered by state, nationality and calendar/fiscal proceeding-completion year. Defaults to asylum_denial_rate and minimum_decisions 1; a larger minimum is optional. Include small samples with decision counts and labels. Asylum percentages use grants plus denials, with procedural outcomes separate. At most ten results. Use proceeding_removal_rate only for explicitly requested broader proceeding outcomes. Historical rates do not predict individual outcomes or imply a choice of judge.
yearlimitorderstateentityrequiredmetricyear_basisnationalityminimum_decisionsGet Core counts for Judges, Courts and Courthouses nationally or by state. Judges include historical profiles; Courts are institutions; Courthouses are known physical addresses. Shared addresses count once.
