`get_docket_filing`

Pack: court-listener · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/court-listener/mcp

Get one filing from a US federal court docket by its document id — the entry description as the clerk wrote it, the filing date, page count, the docket_id it belongs to, a text excerpt where the document has been scanned, and a direct PDF link. Use after list_docket_filings or search_court_filings to read a specific document. Returns pdf_available false when RECAP has the docket entry but not the document itself.
