Among them: check_compliance, get_enforcement_details, get_enforcement_stats, get_judge_rules, list_court_holidays, list_courts and 3 more.

Is Court Rules working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 46 of 46 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 326 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Court Rules?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Court Rules need an API key?

No. Court Rules completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Court Rules?

It answers our handshake in 326 ms on average, which is faster than 54% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
