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

Look up a SPECIFIC federal case or criminal defendant by docket number in the Federal Judicial Center’s Integrated Database (FJC IDB) — civil case, criminal defendant, or appellate case. Needs a docket number plus a district (civil/criminal, FJC’s own numeric district code) or circuit (appellate, FJC’s own numeric circuit code). Returns filing/termination dates, nature-of-suit or offense code, disposition code, and (civil only) party names / judgment amount, or (criminal only) sentence terms. Complements court-listener (which has the docket TEXT and filings, not this statistical-outcome record). A no-match response names the filters tried. Periodic snapshot, refreshed on a schedule — the response carries data_as_of. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`case_type`	string	yes	Which FJC IDB dataset to search.
`district_or_circuit`	string	yes	FJC numeric district code (civil/criminal) or circuit code (appellate) the case was filed in.
`docket`	string	yes	Docket number, FJC’s own format (as published in the IDB, not the PACER-formatted number).
`fiscal_year`	number	no	Narrow to one fiscal year, if known (recommended — the same docket can recur across years).
`defendant_number`	number	no	Criminal only: defendant number within a multi-defendant case (the IDB is defendant-level for criminal cases).
