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

List the DOCUMENTS FILED in a US federal court case — complaints, motions, orders, exhibits — with a direct link to each PDF. Reads the free RECAP archive on the Internet Archive; no API key and no PACER fee. Give a docket_id from a docket search, or a court and docket number. Returns document links and docket-entry numbering, NOT document text. Coverage is partial (about 36% of dockets, higher in appellate courts) because RECAP holds only what PACER users have contributed.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`docket_id`	number	no	Docket id from federal_civil_search, federal_criminal_search, bankruptcy_search or federal_appeal_search.
`court`	string	no	Court id, e.g. “nysd” — use together with docket_number.
`docket_number`	string	no	Docket number as the court records it, e.g. “1:15-cv-02842”.
`limit`	number	no	Maximum documents to return (1-200, default 50).
