CourtAPI — Federal Court Data
Connects Claude to PACER through the CourtAPI service, letting you search federal court cases by party name or keywords, pull docket sheets with filing history, download PDFs, and retrieve bankruptcy claims registers across all US district, bankruptcy, and appellate courts. You can filter dockets by date range or keyword, check document cache status and costs before purchase, manage PACER credentials, and query the National Case Locator for cross-court searches. Useful for legal research workflows where you need to pull case metadata, track filings, or analyze creditor claims without leaving the conversation. Requires a CourtAPI account and PACER credentials for live data fetches.
