Pack: court-listener · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/court-listener/mcp
Find a US court case BY NAME and get its citations, filing date, judges and how often it has been cited. Searches 8.3 million opinions across 3,361 courts from our hosted mirror of CourtListener — no API key, no rate limit. Ranked by citation count, so the leading case for a name comes first. Use this when you know what the case is CALLED; use search_opinions when you only know the TOPIC.
