Court Rules

courtrules.app

Database of federal and state court rules, judge filing requirements, and privacy enforcement data with API and MCP access.

Overview

Court Rules is a searchable database of federal and state court filing rules, judge standing orders, and local court procedures. It aggregates page limits, courtesy copy requirements, motion practice procedures, and other filing requirements from individual judges and courts across the U.S. federal and state systems.

The platform provides tools for legal teams including a deadline calculator, court holiday calendars, and compliance checking. All data is available through a REST API and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing integration with AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools. The service also tracks privacy enforcement actions from the FTC, HHS, and state attorneys general with structured violation data and contract search terms.
