CASE

Use CASE inside Claude or ChatGPT

If you already work in an assistant, you can point it at this record instead of copying text back and forth. The assistant reads the decisions and cites them. It cannot change anything, and it has no access to your uploads or your account.

The address to connect

https://www.clearancesearchengine.com/api/mcp
  • Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app): Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address.
  • ChatGPT: Settings, then Connectors, where custom connectors are supported on your plan, and paste the address.
  • Cursor and other MCP clients: add a remote MCP server at that address (streamable HTTP transport).

No account or key is needed for a free allowance of 200 questions a day. An API key raises that to the quota of the key.

What your assistant can then do

Once connected it can reach 30,719 decided cases, current through September 2026, through these tools:

  • Search the recordsearch_cases

    Search the decided record by words and filters: concern, outcome, hearing or appeal, years.

  • Open one decisionget_case

    What was alleged, what the judge found on each allegation, and the outcome.

  • Find comparable decisionssimilar_cases

    The decided cases whose allegations read most like a given case.

  • Count granted and deniedget_statistics

    Counts by year or by concern, always with the number of cases behind them.

  • Measure how long stages takeget_timelines

    Measured days from a Statement of Reasons to hearing and to decision.

  • Measure time since the conductget_conduct_recency

    How much time had passed between the conduct and the decision, measured across cases.

  • Look at candor allegationsget_candor_outcomes

    How cases involving candor, omission, or falsification allegations were resolved.

Things to ask once it is connected

  • “Find decided cases where delinquent debts were mitigated by a documented repayment plan, and summarize what the judges credited.”
  • “What does the record show about how often bankruptcy cases were granted, and out of how many?”
  • “Open ISCR case 22-02039 and tell me what the judge found on each allegation.”
  • “How long does it typically take from a Statement of Reasons to a hearing?”

What it is not

  • Read-only, and limited to the published public record. It never reaches accounts, uploads, or anyone’s private material, yours included.
  • Descriptive. What the tools return is what was decided in past cases, not a prediction about a pending one and not legal advice.
  • Defense (DOHA) decisions. Department of Energy decisions are a separate record, readable in their own section, and the two are never pooled.
  • For published work, attribute the data to CASE; every response carries the attribution line. The fair-use terms apply.

Developers who want the plain JSON API instead can start at the API documentation. For a higher quota or a bulk arrangement, contact us.

Decided public cases: descriptive, never a prediction.
