Is descrybe-mcp-gateway live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 2h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is descrybe-mcp-gateway free to use?

Not anonymously — it asks for a key or a login before it will serve. Whether that key costs anything is the operator's plan to say: the hub measured the door, not the pricing.

What tools does descrybe-mcp-gateway have?

13 tools: search_case_text, get_case_pdf, find_case_from_reference, get_case_passages, search_cases_by_concept, search_laws_and_rules, verify_quote, get_case_summary, ….

Is descrybe-mcp-gateway safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

• search_case_text reads auth-required 14h ago

  Searches the full text of judicial opinions by exact words or phrases across Descrybe's case-law text index. Useful when specific language matters, such as terms of art, quotes, statutory phrases, or uncommon factual wording. Each result includes case_id, the Descrybe canonical identifier accepted by known-case tools.

• find_case_from_reference reads auth-required 4h ago

  Resolves a citation, case name, case caption, party name, party-name variant, docket number, short cite, quote, or mixed reference into a Descrybe case or candidate set. Use this for party-name or docket-number case lookup when the user does not already have a Descrybe case_id. Resolved cases and candidates include case_id, the Descrybe canonical identifier accepted by known-case tools. The context_text field can improve short, bare, or ambiguous references.

• search_cases_by_concept reads auth-required 18h ago

  Use this first when the user wants to find leading or relevant cases about a legal issue, doctrine, fact pattern, jurisdiction, claim, defense, or topic and does not already have a Descrybe case_id. Results are authority-ranked by default to surface stronger legal authorities before ordinary text matches. Use date sorting only when the user asks for recent or newest cases. Each result includes case_id, the Descrybe canonical identifier accepted by known-case tools.
