paulieb89/govuk-mcp

What it does

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides integration with GOV.UK content and services. It enables users to search government pages, retrieve full content from GOV.UK, look up UK government organisations, and resolve UK postcodes to their corresponding local authorities. The tool requires no API keys and provides 5 read-only tools for safe, unrestricted access to public UK government information.

How to set up

As an MCP server, installation involves adding it to your MCP client configuration. Clone or reference the paulieb89/govukmcp repository, then configure your MCP client (such as Claude Desktop) to connect to the server endpoint. No authentication credentials or API keys are needed since all data accessed is publicly available government information.
