Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

ch11

ch11_feed

Fresh CHAPTER 11 FIREHOSE for the restructuring/creditor bar. Returns new business reorganization filings (newest-first) across the major bankruptcy venues, each with the debtor's-counsel firm + attorney, presiding judge, docket number, filing date and a CourtListener link. Args: days (lookback, default 14), court (optional CourtListener court id like deb/nysb/txsb). Public-docket decision-support for counsel; not legal advice, not a solicitation of the estate. [x402: full feed settles $0.50 USDC on Base mainnet, keyless; free header preview included.]

ch11_preview

FREE preview of the most-recent Chapter 11 business filings — case headers only (name, court, filing date, docket link). The teaser for the restructuring lane.

diligence

diligence_brief

Generate a distressed-SMB DILIGENCE BRIEF for an acquisition target. Pass the business name (+ optional US state and domain). Combines REAL public-data signals: lawsuits & bankruptcy dockets (CourtListener/PACER), held-inventory recall exposure (CPSC), federal exclusion/sanctions (OFAC SDN + OIG LEIE), WARN-Act layoffs, and UCC liens where seeded — each with source + date. Returns a structured brief plus risk/opportunity flags with severity. Informational decision-support; verify independently. [x402: full brief settles $0.50 USDC on Base mainnet, keyless; free quick-scan included.]

quick

quick_scan

FREE quick signal scan for a target business: distress/liability counts + a one-line go/caution/stop verdict, with no per-item detail. The teaser a buyer runs on a listing.

recall

check_recall_exposure

FREE: check a business name against CPSC product-recall records — the held-inventory / recoverable-recall liability line. Returns matched recalls with hazard + units.

Distress Diligence — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Distress Diligence do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ch11_feed, ch11_preview, check_recall_exposure, diligence_brief, quick_scan. 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 Distress Diligence 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 72 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Distress Diligence?

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 Distress Diligence need an API key?

No. Distress Diligence completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Distress Diligence?

It answers our handshake in 72 ms on average, which is faster than 86% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
