Bankruptcy Observer — API & MCP MCP Server

Data & AnalyticsLow Risk8.2LocalRemote
Free

Programmatic access to US business bankruptcy data.

About

Bankruptcy Observer's MCP server gives AI assistants — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client — live access to United States business bankruptcy filings (chapters 7, 11, 12, and 15) so the agent can look up a debtor, read the full docket, pull court documents, summarize the case in plain English, and report what changed. The agent calls tools against PACER-sourced data we have tracked since 2005 and refresh from every bankruptcy court hourly. It is for creditors, credit and risk teams, counsel, and anyone who needs answers about a US business bankruptcy case without clicking through PACER. Consumer-only filings and non-US jurisdictions are not included.

The Bankruptcy Observer MCP server is well-designed with appropriate authentication and authorization controls. Free tools operate without credentials for basic lookups, while sensitive operations (dockets, documents, monitoring) require paid subscriptions with API token or OAuth authentication. The server properly enforces tiered access, implements secure token handling (environment variables, not hardcoded), and has clear scope boundaries. No malicious patterns, code vulnerabilities, or dangerous operations detected in the documentation.
