CourtListener Legal Monitor

Monitor federal court dockets for specific parties, keywords, or case types. Get alerts on new filings and build historical litigation archive.

Why This is Valuable

CourtListener has 500M+ legal documents, but no scheduled monitoring:

Existing SDKs/MCPs are interactive-only
No change detection or alerts
No historical tracking of litigation

This agent provides scheduled monitoring with webhook alerts.

Data Source

CourtListener API v4: courtlistener.com/api/rest/v4/
Rate Limit: 5,000 queries/hour for authenticated users
Free Tier: Free account with API token
