Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Court Rules every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Court Rules — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Court Rules do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_compliance, get_enforcement_details, get_enforcement_stats, get_judge_rules, list_court_holidays, list_courts and 3 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Court Rules working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 331 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. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.

How do you sign in to Court Rules?

No API key is involved. Court Rules answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.

How fast is Court Rules?

It answers our handshake in 331 ms on average, which is faster than 40% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
