Syfert Legal Research

About

Connects to the syfert.com law library: 10.7M U.S. opinions from all states and federal courts, treatment flags showing whether a case is still good law, and statute and court rule corpora for all 50 states plus DC, USC and CFR. Tools search cases and statutes, read full text, check citations and quotes, and audit a whole brief.

Runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.syfert.com/mcp. A free token sent as an Authorization Bearer header is used for normal access. The site also states that the endpoint answers without a credential, limited to 20 calls a day per address.

HTML

<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/syfert-legal-research.js" async></script>

The card appears where the tag is. Add data-theme="dark" or data-size="compact" to the tag to change it. The file holds everything it needs, so it makes no other requests and sets no cookies.

iframe

<iframe src="https://mcp.tc/embed/syfert-legal-research" title="Syfert Legal Research on mcp.tc" width="420" height="200" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%"></iframe>

Use it on pages that don’t allow scripts. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to the address to fix the colors.

What each field means

AI prompt

Paste this into an AI coding assistant, such as Claude Code or Cursor, and it adds the Syfert Legal Research card to your site.

Markdown

Add the mcp.tc card for Syfert Legal Research, an MCP server, to my website. It is one static script: no build step, no package to install, no cookies.

Put this tag where the card should appear. The card renders right before it:

```html
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/syfert-legal-research.js" async></script>
```

To show the card somewhere else, put this placeholder there and load the same script once, for example before `</body>`. Keep the link inside: visitors without JavaScript see it.

```html
<div data-mcptc="syfert-legal-research"><a href="https://mcp.tc/i/syfert-legal-research">Syfert Legal Research on mcp.tc</a></div>
```

Options:
- `data-theme="light"` or `"dark"` on the tag or the placeholder fixes the colors. Without it, the card follows the visitor’s light or dark mode.
- `data-size="compact"` gives a smaller card without the tagline.
- The CSS variable `--mcptc-max-width` on the placeholder or a parent sets the width (default `520px`).
- `?lang=` on the script URL sets the card’s language: `en`, `it`, `fr`, `de` or `es`.

If the site has a Content Security Policy, allow `script-src https://mcp.tc` and `img-src data:` (the icon is inline).

     Before

     Fetch one case: metadata, parallel citations, treatment flag, and full opinion text (paginated via offset/max_chars). cited_by is CourtListener's citation count; for a decision filed as several twin clusters it is summed over them (cited_by_note says so), and a duplicate or stub twin id is answered with its survivor (note says so). Citations inside the returned text are checked against the reporter index (embedded_citations); citation_warnings names any the court itself got wrong. Identify the case by cluster_id (from search_cases results) or by reporter citation. find_text returns passages: up to 5 sentence-bounded windows holding a phrase (or its closest match) with star_page and offset, so a long opinion need not be paged (pass include_text=false to get only those); quotable=true adds quotable_passages, the passages of this opinion other courts quote.

   • get_propositionsdescription and input schema
     Before

     What is this case actually cited FOR? Returns the distinct legal propositions courts cite the case for (headnote-grade), each with its OWN treatment flag and counts. A case can be good law on one proposition and overruled on another. Use before citing a case for a specific point, and to find the strongest proposition to cite it for. passage is the opinion's own wording of the proposition with its star_page; passage null means citing courts paraphrase it. Pass proposition (your use of the case) to get proposition_match, the one proposition it matches, and proposition_note (MCP14_20260925). Quotation marks mean pasted from a tool result (opinion text, passage, best_match). If you typed a quote from memory, run verify_quote and use best_match. Run check_brief on the finished draft and apply its corrections. Copy cite_as for the citation (first page, then pin).

   • verify_quotedescription

Returns verdict (verbatim | near | absent), percent, best_match (the opinion's own sentence, up to ~600 characters), star_page (the last *page marker before it, null when the text carries none), offset (get_case offset), case and advice. near means the opinion says it in other words: paste matched_span (the opinion's words over the span you quoted) instead; best_match is the sentence around it. absent means the words are not in this opinion. Identify the case by cluster_id or reporter citation (case_name helps a citation newer than the reporter index). Quotation marks mean pasted from a tool result (opinion text, passage, best_match). If you typed a quote from memory, run verify_quote and use best_match. Run check_brief on the finished draft and apply its corrections. Copy cite_as for the citation (first page, then pin).

   Before

   Legal research tools backed by syfert.com: 10.8M U.S. opinions (all states + federal), Syfertize treatment flags, and statute corpora for 50 states + DC (44 also hold court rules, kind="rule"; not ks, la, nh, ok, sd, vt), the Florida Administrative Code and USC/CFR/federal rules (state="xx"; get_statute takes the two-letter code). Path: (0) a doctrine or fact pattern -> find_issues(state="xx"): the doctrine as that state's courts name it, cases on each side (followed_by / questioned_by), statutes construed. (0b) a proposition or quote -> find_authority, verbatim. (1) party, statute number or keywords -> search_cases / search_statutes. (2) get_case / get_statute read it. (3) check_citation verifies a cite (hallucinations, name mismatches; expected_case_name finds a cite newer than the index; statute and rule cites too); for id., supra and short forms pass the sentence containing the cite and any quotation; id. is never the case last mentioned. (3b) check_brief audits a draft and lists corrections. (3c) get_propositions: what courts cite a case for, each with its flag and quote_integrity ('absent' = not in the opinion); get_citing_cases: judges' parentheticals; find_related_cases: the doctrinal line. (4) get_treatment: red = overruled, yellow = questioned, overruled_by, still_good_companions, risk_signals. get_statute adds Notes of Decisions and currency: the text is the edition held, so for crimes, contracts, limitations or procedure the operative date goes in as_of.

   Legal research tools backed by syfert.com: 10.8M U.S. opinions (all states + federal), Syfertize treatment flags, and statute corpora for 50 states + DC (44 also hold court rules, kind="rule"; not ks, la, nh, ok, sd, vt), the Florida Administrative Code and USC/CFR/federal rules (state="xx"; get_statute takes the two-letter code). Path: (0) a doctrine or fact pattern -> find_issues(state="xx"): the doctrine as that state's courts name it, cases on each side (followed_by / questioned_by), statutes construed. (0b) a proposition or quote -> find_authority, verbatim. (1) party, statute number or keywords -> search_cases / search_statutes. (2) get_case / get_statute read it. (3) check_citation verifies a cite (hallucinations, name mismatches; expected_case_name finds a cite newer than the index; statute and rule cites too); for id., supra and short forms pass the sentence containing the cite and any quotation; id. is never the case last mentioned. (3b) check_brief audits a draft and lists corrections. (3c) get_propositions: what courts cite a case for, each with its flag and quote_integrity ('absent' = not in the opinion); get_citing_cases: judges' parentheticals; find_related_cases: the doctrinal line. (4) get_treatment: red = overruled, yellow = questioned, overruled_by, still_good_companions, risk_signals. get_statute adds Notes of Decisions and currency: the text is the edition held, so for crimes, contracts, limitations or procedure the operative date goes in as_of.

    • brief_deleteWrites

      Delete an uploaded brief and its results from the server now (they are otherwise deleted after the last page is read, or after an hour idle).

    • brief_uploadWrites

      Upload a brief of any length for check_brief, in pieces. Send the text in order, about 40,000 characters (10k tokens) per call: the first call returns brief_id; each next call passes brief_id and seq (2, 3, ...); the last passes final=true (a short brief can go in one call with final=true). Then call check_brief with brief_id. The text and its results are held in server RAM only, for your credential alone, and are deleted right after the last page of every section is read, after an hour idle, or by brief_delete.

    • get_brief_resultsRead-only

      Read the results of check_brief(brief_id) one page at a time (each page under ~20k tokens). section: corrections (ranked by severity), cites (one full row per citation, as check_brief with detail="full"), quotes_unattached, statutes. Start without cursor, then pass next_cursor until it is null. After the last page of every section the session is deleted (session_deleted: true).
