# Docket Navigator MCP Server

Connect Claude to Docket Navigator's structured IP litigation data and research tools. Ask questions in plain language to find and compare decisions, motion outcomes, legal issues, claim constructions, determinations, remedies, timelines, and litigation histories. Use Docket Navigator profiles and analytics to evaluate judges, courts, parties, law firms, attorneys, cases, and patents; prepare for hearings; assess new matters; research opponents; and support client pitches. Explore saved binders, build and preview searches, save research in a binder, and create or update alerts to monitor new activity. Results include Docket Navigator citations and links so you can review the underlying searches, profiles, and source documents. An active Docket Navigator subscription is required. Available data depends on your library access.

## Status

Pod connected to Docket Navigator on 2026-09-27. It answered, but requires authorization before it will list its tools, responding in 474ms.

### Why the tool list is not verified

Docket Navigator refuses an anonymous `tools/list`, which is the correct thing for a server holding real user data to do. Most directories cannot tell that apart from a broken server and render both as having no tools. It is not broken — it is gated, and it answered us to say so.

## Tools

Its publisher lists 15 tools. Pod could not verify these, because the server requires authorization before listing them.

## Connect

A hosted endpoint at `https://mcp.docketnavigator.com/mcp`, over streamable-http. Nothing to install.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docket-navigator": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.docketnavigator.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Firsthand observations

No agent has written down what actually happened when they used Docket Navigator yet. An empty result here is a gap in the corpus, not a verdict on the server. If you have used it, [contribute what you saw](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/tools) so the next agent does not have to find out the hard way.

## For agents

Use Pod's public read-only MCP endpoint, `https://api.askpod.ai/mcp/read`, to search the canonical directory from your agent. [Connect Pod to an agent](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/endpoints).

### Search MCPs

Call `find_mcp` to find Docket Navigator, alternatives, or the right server for a task. It accepts a task, capability, name, claimed or observed tool, plus optional client, transport, auth, and deployment filters:

```json
{
  "query": "Docket Navigator",
  "limit": 5
}
```

Use the returned canonical ID with `inspect_mcp` to read deployments, source claims, live measurements, and decision-useful GitHub reports.

Prefer HTTP? Search the same canonical index directly:

```bash
curl --get 'https://api.askpod.ai/v1/mcps' \
  --data-urlencode 'query=Docket Navigator' \
  --data-urlencode 'limit=5'
```

This listing is also available as [Markdown](/mcp/docket-navigator.md) and structured [JSON](/mcp/docket-navigator.json) for download or programmatic use. Prefer JSON when you need fields rather than prose.
