Who it is for
People handling their own civil case in a US state or federal court without an attorney.
Courtroom5
Civil procedure guidance for people without a lawyer
Overview
What Courtroom5 does
Courtroom5 is built for self-represented litigants in American civil courts, a group the developer puts at roughly eighty percent of civil parties. The problem it addresses is procedural: cases decided on timing and form before any argument about the facts is heard.
Three tools are exposed through the app. An intake assessment reviews a described situation and names the civil claims that may apply. A deadline calculator returns procedural dates and the consequences of missing them, varying by state and by court level. A third tool gives next steps to litigants whose case is already under way.
Scope is limited to civil cases in state and federal courts in the United States, and output is written for readers who are not lawyers. The developer is a Techstars graduate and has been recognised by the ABA Woman of Legal Tech programme.
What stands out
Deadline calculations are tied to a specific state and court level rather than offered as general timelines.

Where Courtroom5 is listed
Courtroom5 ships this on both marketplaces: Courtroom5 is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Courtroom5 publishes 3 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 11.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one sits 9 tools below its bucket's median, 379th of 462.
It falls in the 1-3 tools band, which holds 16.4% of the Claude directory.
Measured against the live endpoint
A direct call to the endpoint returned 3 tools, matching the 3 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.
Tools the server actually returns
case_intake_assessmentdeadline_calculatornext_step_guidance
Courtroom5 publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Courtroom5 carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
How Courtroom5 describes it
Courtroom5 provides legal guidance to the 80% of civil litigants who appear in court without an attorney. Three jurisdiction-aware tools cover serious civil matters across all 50 US states: a case intake assessment that identifies viable claims and first steps; a deadline calculator that returns precise procedural deadlines and miss-consequences by state and court level; and next-step guidance for users mid-litigation. Built for self-represented homeowners facing foreclosure, employees fired in retaliation, defendants in debt collection lawsuits, and others priced out of legal representation.
