Docket Nexus

https://server.smithery.ai/docketnexus/docketnexus/mcp
● healthy

Read-only search over public U.S. federal litigation — companies, cases, dockets and document metadata — from the Docket Nexus index. Six tools: look up a public company's litigation profile, list the cases linked to that company, retrieve a case by its Docket Nexus URL, page through a case's docket entries, get metadata for a docket document, and search cases by caption words, an "A v. B" party pair, or a federal docket number with its office prefix. Metadata only — no document contents are returned. No API key or configuration is required.

MCP readiness

B · 84/100

Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here C+, 70.0/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ

Valid MCP handshake 10/10 initialize and tools/list both answered.
Live MCP endpoint 24/25 Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (4200 ms); slow response -1.
Protocol revision 8/10 Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28.
Signed descriptor n/a No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor.
Uptime (30 days) 15/15 30/30 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%).
Tool declaration 10/10 Lists 6 tool(s) with descriptions.
Verified identity 5/10 Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
Freshness + modern flags 2/5 seen within 30 days.
Auth declaration 2/5 Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.
Applicable criteria total 90 points, scaled to 100.
Responsiveness: Slow (4200 ms; bands ≤2.5 s, ≤5 s, ≤8 s, slower; penalty only).
Measured 2026-11-11.
Nine criteria, the same as the A2A readiness score, read from our daily MCP probe (initialize + tools/list) and 30-day probe history. No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor, so that criterion is n/a and the other 90 points are scaled to 100. Grades: A>=90, B>=75, C>=60, D>=40, F<40. Display only: search order uses the quality grade.

Where it loses the most points, and how to win them back

  • Verified identity −5 — Claim the listing and prove control of its domain.
    Now: Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control.
  • Freshness + modern flags −3 — Keep the listing current in the registry or source it comes from.
    Now: seen within 30 days.
  • Auth declaration −3 — State how to authenticate (an auth scheme, or that none is needed).
    Now: Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key.
