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

get_case_by_ein_toolLook up case by debtor EIN. Paid (full data + optional last filing date). live_update (subscribers) triggers one-time source refresh.
get_cases_by_date_range_toolUS business bankruptcy cases filed in a date range (dateFiled). Individual debtors and adversary proceedings (lawsuits) are omitted unless include_individuals or include_adversary is true. Omitting both dates defaults to yesterday. start_date and end_date are inclusive calendar days (YYYY-MM-DD), including filings later that day. Case numbers are shortCaseNumber. total is the full match count, not the page size. limit is one page (max 500, default 100); pass skip or offset for the next page. has_more is true when more rows remain.

get_case_summary_toolPlain-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_docket_entries_toolDocket 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_toolPreview 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_toolCourt 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_toolWhat 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_toolList the cases on your BankruptcyObserver.com monitoring list (case_id, simple_name, name, chapter, court, case number, dateFiled, last docket date). 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.
list_plans_toolList available BKO subscription plans (sourced from VwSubscriptions where service = BKO) with current pricing and agent tiers. No auth required.
purchase_plan_toolGet Stripe checkout URL for a plan. No auth required. Pass plan_id (from list_plans_tool) and optional email.
refresh_docket_toolRequest an immediate docket refresh from court sources for one case (slower; use when you need the latest filings now). Pass simple_name or case_number. Single Case plan: monitored cases only. Full Access: any case. Subscribers only.
search_bankruptcy_cases_toolSearch US business bankruptcy cases by debtor name. Individual debtors and adversary proceedings (lawsuits) are omitted unless include_individuals or include_adversary is true. Case numbers are shortCaseNumber. FREE (exact/prefix, no *): limited fields, no auth. Use *term for contains (paid). Optional court filter. total is the full match count; pass skip for the next page.
