No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/list_docket_filings for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Every filing on one US federal court docket, in filing order, from the PACER/RECAP archive.

Tool description as the model sees it

List the filings on a US FEDERAL district or bankruptcy court docket — every complaint, motion, order and exhibit RECAP has recorded for that case, in filing order, with the document id, entry number, filing date, page count and a link to the PDF. This is the docket sheet: what was filed, when, and by which entry number. Each filing reports whether its PDF is actually held (pdf_available); RECAP holds the docket text for far more filings than it holds documents, so treat a filing with no PDF as a real filing whose document nobody has purchased yet, not as a missing record. Takes the docket_id from search_dockets. Court opinions are a different thing and live in search_case_law / get_opinion.

Parameters
