## What it 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.

## Requirements
- Remote server: `https://mcp.lawyerd.net/takedown`

```

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "takedown": {
            "url": "https://mcp.lawyerd.net/takedown"
        }
    }

}
```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
gemini mcp add -t http takedown https://mcp.lawyerd.net/takedown
```

## When to use it
- 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

- Check what evidence I need to submit a DMCA takedown for my images.
- Generate an onboarding link with `start_takedown` to sign the notice.
