Who it is for
Litigators and legal researchers working in state trial courts.
State trial court dockets, rulings, and litigation analytics
Overview
Trellis Research indexes state trial court records and makes them searchable from ChatGPT. The collection covers dockets, rulings, verdicts, and filings from courts at the trial level, where much litigation activity never reaches an appellate reporter.
That material supports several kinds of work: research on how a question has been decided before, analytics on a specific judge or an opposing firm, background checks on proposed expert witnesses, and motion drafting anchored to decisions that actually issued.
The emphasis throughout is trial court practice rather than appellate authority, and the dataset is limited to state courts. Access runs inside ChatGPT, so a docket lookup and the drafting that follows happen in one place.

Judge and opposing counsel analytics are drawn from trial court dockets and rulings rather than published opinions.
Availability
Trellis ships this on both marketplaces: Trellis 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.
ChatGPT listing
Claude listing
Trellis publishes 24 tools to Claude, deeper than 75.5% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one runs 12 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 121st of 462 by tool count.
It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory.
Trellis 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.
https://mcp.trellis.law/anthropic Trellis 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
Trellis - Claude for Trial Court Litigators gives Claude direct access to the largest state trial court dataset in the U.S. — including dockets, rulings, verdicts, and filings — enabling legal research, judge and opposing counsel analytics, expert witness vetting, and motion drafting grounded in real precedent.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Trellis's public marketplace listings as they stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Trellis, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
