Bankruptcy Observer tools (18, 1 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • add_monitored_case_toolFree

    Add a bankruptcy case to your BankruptcyObserver.com monitoring list so BKO checks the court hourly and updates the docket every business day. Pass simple_name or a 7-digit case_number (with court_state when needed). Subscribers only; respects your plan monitoring limit.

  • check_subscription_toolFree

    Check your MCP subscription status and remaining quota. Uses credentials from the request if api_key omitted.

  • get_case_by_case_number_toolFree

    Look up case(s) by short case number (e.g. 26-10543). FREE for 7-digit format (limited fields, all courts). Paid: full + live_update + court filter.

  • get_case_by_ein_toolFree

    Look up case by debtor EIN. Paid (full data + optional last filing date). live_update (subscribers) triggers one-time source refresh.

  • get_case_summary_toolFree

    Plain-English structured summary of one case: debtor, chapter, court, case number, key dates (filed, plan confirmed, discharged, closed), asset/liability ranges, nature of business, judge, and AI-extracted case profile data when available. Pass simple_name (preferred, see list_monitored_cases_tool) or a 7-digit case_number. Subscribers only.

  • get_cases_by_date_range_toolFree

    Cases filed in date range on dateFiled. Omitting both dates defaults to yesterday. Paid.

    Cases by NAICS (2-4 digits). Paid.

  • get_cases_by_state_toolFree

    Cases by debtor state (2-letter). Paid.

  • get_docket_entries_toolFree

    Docket entries for a case, ordered by itemNumber ascending. Each entry includes the full PACER itemText (never sliced) and docket_id — call get_document_tool with that docket_id (no accept_charge) for an inline cost preview, then again with accept_charge: true to download the PDF. Pass simple_name (preferred, see list_monitored_cases_tool) or short_case_number / case_number (e.g. 26-42901; use court_state to disambiguate). Optional docket_id, item_number, or item_from/item_to to fetch specific entries. Single Case plan: monitored cases only. limit max 50 (default 25); pass skip (or offset, or 1-based page) to walk past the first block. A page may contain fewer than limit entries so every caption stays complete for MCP clients. Response includes total, skip, limit, returned, and has_more. Optional live_update refreshes from court sources first. Subscribers only.

  • get_document_cost_toolFree

    Preview the cost to download a court filing PDF. Identify the entry with docket_id (preferred) or simple_name + item_number (legacy connectors). Does not pull the document and does not charge. Same preview as get_document_tool when accept_charge/download is omitted. Confirm the cost with the user before download. Cost is $0 if already purchased, or if the PDF is already in our library and the plan has flagFreeLibrary. Free-page allowances (if any) come from plan limitDocuments and apply to billable pulls. Returns page_count, chargeable_pages, cost, plan_limit_documents, pages_used_this_period, free_pages_remaining, document_in_library, and already_owned.

  • get_document_toolFree

    Court filing PDF. Identify the entry with docket_id (preferred) OR simple_name + item_number (legacy cached connectors). Step 1: cost preview — omit accept_charge/download or set false. Step 2: after user confirms, call with accept_charge:true or download:true to purchase and download (signed URL). Returns docket_id in the preview so follow-up calls can use the hash. Pulls from PACER when needed.

  • get_recent_developments_toolFree

    What happened recently? Docket entries since a date (default: last 7 days) for one monitored case (simple_name) or ALL your monitored cases when simple_name is omitted. Newest first, with item numbers, dates, full itemText (never sliced), and counts. A page may contain fewer than limit entries so every caption stays complete. Subscribers only.

  • list_monitored_cases_toolFree

Use get_docket_entries_tool for docket_id values passed to get_document_tool. Requires your MCP token to be linked to your subscriber account. Subscribers only.

What the publisher says

From the Bankruptcy Observer repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

MCP Server Documentation

Public documentation for the Model Context Protocol servers implemented in the Laravel13 application. Each subdirectory documents one production MCP server: endpoint, authentication, and available tools.

Published site: https://jmtroller.github.io/mcp-documentation/ (after enabling GitHub Pages on this repo)

All servers use Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTPS). A typical session is:

initialize → notifications/initialized (optional) → tools/list → tools/call

Servers

Implementation

Routes are defined in Laravel13/routes/mcp.php. Each server has a dedicated controller under Laravel13/app/Http/Controllers/. OAuth discovery and token endpoints are shared across authenticated servers via Laravel13/app/Http/Controllers/McpAuth/OAuthController.php.

MCP Registry manifests

Each server folder includes a server.json for the official MCP Registry.

For monorepos, the MCP Registry requires:

  • repository.url — the git-cloneable repo root (same for every server in this repo)
  • repository.subfolder — the per-server directory (e.g. bankruptcy-observer)
  • websiteUrl — the published documentation page for that server on GitHub Pages

Example:

"websiteUrl": "https://jmtroller.github.io/mcp-documentation/bankruptcy-observer/",
"repository": {
  "url": "https://github.com/jmtroller/mcp-documentation",
  "source": "github",
  "subfolder": "bankruptcy-observer"
}

Older per-server documentation repos (for example nhd-mcp-public-documentation) may still exist; this repository is the consolidated source of truth derived from Laravel13.

GitHub Pages

This repo is configured for GitHub Pages via Jekyll (see _config.yml and .github/workflows/pages.yml).

  1. Create a GitHub repo named mcp-documentation under the jmtroller account (or update _config.yml url / baseurl for your org).
  2. Push this directory to the main branch.
  3. In repo Settings → Pages, set Source to GitHub Actions.
  4. The workflow publishes to https://.github.io/mcp-documentation/.

Local preview:

cd mcp-documentation
bundle install
