Data, accuracy, and limits
Every answer comes from the same live database that powers this site: public court documents from GovInfo and CourtListener, curated with AI-assisted extraction. Each tool response links back to the canonical case page and source text so any claim can be verified. See the methodology for how cases are collected and processed.
The server is read-only and rate-limited to 120 requests per minute per IP. It is listed in the official MCP registry as org.vicp-registry/vicp-registry.
A note on accuracy. Case summaries are AI-assisted and can contain mistakes. Statistics describe this case-record dataset, not vaccine safety in the general population. For legal or medical precision, always check the linked source documents, and consult a qualified attorney about any potential claim.
