takedown — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Identifies the true host behind CDN proxies and outlines DMCA takedown routes directly inside your AI workflow.
claude mcp add --transport http takedown https://mcp.lawyerd.net/takedownWhat takedown does
Lawyerd hosts this remote server, so running local binaries or storing credentials is not required. It gives the assistant three tools: resolve_host detects whether an infringing address sits behind Cloudflare or directly on a host, assess_takedown details the necessary evidence alongside 17 U.S.C. §512(f) caveats, and start_takedown provides an onboarding link.
The server acts purely as a research and planning layer. Because formal DMCA notices carry legal consequences under penalty of perjury, the agent never files complaints autonomously. A human rights holder must open the link and sign the submission manually. Requests are free but rate-limited.
What it helps with
- find direct hosting providers behind Cloudflare
- locate verified abuse contacts for takedown notices
- outline formal DMCA procedures and evidence requirements
- generate secure authorization links for manual human filing
Example prompts for the agent
- Run

- Generate an onboarding link with
start_takedownto sign the notice.
