Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to memoryapi.org, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant search US federal court opinions and dockets and look up a company's litigation history.

What you can do: Search federal court opinions and cases in the CourtListener / RECAP Archive, filtering by court, date and case type
Retrieve detailed information on a specific case or docket by docket ID or case name search
Find all federal court cases involving a given company, with opinions, dockets and case summaries
When to use it: Useful when you need quick lookups of US federal case law, a specific docket's details, or a company's litigation history, without visiting the source site manually.
Requirements: A remote streamable HTTP endpoint at legal.memoryapi.org; no authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Network access is required.

Before you install

Queries are sent to a third-party endpoint that relays CourtListener / RECAP data, so search terms and company names leave your machine. Results are only as current and complete as that underlying source; verify anything used for legal decisions.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open US Legal Case Search in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
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/org.memoryapi%2Flegal/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
