# DMCA Takedown MCP Server
> **The first DMCA takedown & host-reveal [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server.**
> Connect it to Claude (or any MCP client) and your AI agent can answer:
> *“who really hosts this infringing site — even behind Cloudflare — where does
> the DMCA/abuse notice go, and how do I actually get it taken down?”*
Hosted and operated by [Lawyerd](https://lawyerd.net), a counsel-led content-removal
practice. This repository is the public home and documentation for the server;
it is a **remote, hosted MCP server** — there is nothing to install or run
yourself. Just point your agent at the endpoint.
- **Endpoint:** `https://mcp.lawyerd.net/takedown` (Streamable HTTP)
- **Alias:** `https://mcp.lawyerd.net/mcp`
- **Registry:** [`net.lawyerd/takedown`](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=lawyerd) in the official MCP Registry
- **Cost:** free, no account, rate-limited
- **Discovery:** [`/.well-known/mcp.json`](https://mcp.lawyerd.net/.well-known/mcp.json)
---
## Quick start
Add the server to Claude Code / Claude Desktop:
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http lawyerd https://mcp.lawyerd.net/takedown
```
Or add it to any MCP client config (`mcpServers`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"lawyerd": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.lawyerd.net/takedown"
}
}
}
```
Then just ask your assistant, in your own words:
> *“Someone reposted my photo set and is selling prints at `https://example-infringer.com`.
> Who hosts it and how do I take it down?”*
The agent chains the three tools below and hands you a plain-language answer.
---
## Tools
### `resolve_host`
Look up who hosts a URL and where a DMCA/abuse notice would go. Identifies the
platform, the CDN/proxy in front (e.g. **Cloudflare**, DDoS-Guard), or the
direct hosting provider and its abuse contact. For domains whose real host has
already been revealed from behind a proxy, it returns that host immediately;
for a domain still hidden behind a proxy it says so honestly — revealing the
true host means initiating an abuse report. **Read-only; files nothing.**
### `assess_takedown`
The plan for a takedown of a specific URL: the route it would follow (host
abuse, platform form, or reveal-first), what the rights holder must supply
(proof of ownership and a one-time signed attestation), the step-by-step
process, and the legal caveats — including **17 U.S.C. §512(f)** and scope
limits. Read-only; it does not judge the merits of the claim.
### `start_takedown`
Returns a secure onboarding link to actually begin a takedown. A human opens
it once in a browser to identify themselves, sign the authorization (the one
step that legally requires a human), and provide proof of ownership. **Nothing
is filed by the agent.**
---
## Example
```jsonc
// tools/call → resolve_host { "url": "https://example-infringer.com" }
{
"domain": "example-infringer.com",
"frontedBy": "cdn_proxy",
"proxy": { "name": "Cloudflare" },
"realHostHidden": true,
"takedownRoute": "needs_reveal",
"nextStep": "The site is behind Cloudflare — the real host is hidden. Revealing it requires initiating an abuse report; start a takedown to do that."
}
```
For a domain already revealed, `resolve_host` returns the real host and its
abuse email directly, with `revealSource: "cached_reveal"`.

## What this is — and is not
- ✅ A **lookup and planning** layer for DMCA / abuse takedowns, callable by AI agents.
- ✅ Honest about what it knows: it never invents an abuse contact, and it does
not claim a synchronous “reveal behind Cloudflare” it cannot actually perform
without filing.
- ❌ **Not** an auto-filing bot. A DMCA notice is signed by the rights holder
under penalty of perjury; that signature is always made by a human.
- ❌ **Not** legal advice, and it does not guarantee removal.
- ❌ **Not** a tool for suppressing lawful content. Copyright, trademark and
brand-impersonation matters only — lawful criticism, reviews and journalism
are declined at intake.
The actual enforcement — revealing the real host, filing the notice, following
up, and confirming the content is genuinely gone — is done by Lawyerd under
qualified counsel. The MCP server is the front door; [lawyerd.net](https://lawyerd.net)
is the practice behind it.
