## What it does

The server connects over HTTP at `https://mcp.knowjudges.com/mcp`. Public access requires no authentication token. It provides 10 tools covering the U.S. court system.

Queries rely on URL chaining. First, `find_judges` or `find_court` resolves an entity and returns a canonical URL. Detailed tools like `get_courtroom_presentation_rules` then consume that exact link. The server also retrieves legal-AI error cases and aggregates immigration asylum outcomes.

All functions are strictly read-only. The server cannot file court documents or message judicial staff.
