Beschreibung vom Entwickler (englisches Original)

legislation.gov.uk MCP — the UK's official legislation database.

Die drei Säulen von PopNx MCP

Diese drei werden nie zu einer Punktzahl zusammengefasst: Meinungen, Messungen und Beliebtheit sind verschiedene Dinge.

Was du damit machen kannst

Für diesen Server haben wir noch keine Zusammenfassung in einfacher Sprache geschrieben. Unten stehen die Fakten, die wir aus der Registry gelesen haben.

  • Verbindung: Computer oder Cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Kategorie: Recht & Behördendaten
  • Das musst du eintragen: PIPEWORX_API_KEY

Installation

Wähle die KI-App, die du nutzt, und kopiere die Einstellungen.

Bevor du installierst

Was er kann

Tool-Namen und -Beschreibungen genau so, wie der Server sie am 6. Nov. 2026 gemeldet hat. Geschrieben hat sie der Entwickler, nicht wir; wir zeigen sie als reinen Text.

  • ask_pipeworx

    PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about current or historical data: SEC filings, FDA drug data, FRED/BLS economic statistics, government records, USPTO patents, ATTOM real estate, weather, clinical trials, news, stocks, crypto, sports, academic papers, or anything requiring au

  • ask_pipeworx_beta

    Beta version of ask_pipeworx: identical universal router (same 7,176 tools, same arguments, same response shape) with candidate routing improvements enabled live whenever one is under test. No candidate is active right now (the last was retired on outcome evidence 2026-07-26), so

  • ask_pipeworx_grounded

    Hallucination-resistant answer mode for high-stakes reads. Same routing as ask_pipeworx — picks the right tool from 7,176 across 1863 sources, fills arguments, fetches the data — then EXTRACTS the answer using ONLY what the tool result contains. Returns {answer, evidence (verbati

  • search_within

    Semantic search INSIDE a fetched record. Pass the text you already pulled (e.g. a SEC 10-K body, an article, a long tool result) plus a natural-language query; get back the top-N passages with character offsets and similarity scores. Use when the record is too big to cram into th

  • deep_research

    ACCOUNT REQUIRED (free — sign in via GitHub at https://pipeworx.io/signup; depth:"thorough" needs a paid plan). If you are not signed in, use ask_pipeworx instead — it works on every tier. Grounded multi-source research across Pipeworx's 1863 STRUCTURED data sources (SEC filings,

  • discover_tools

    Find tools by describing the data or task. Use when you need to browse, search, look up, or discover what tools exist for: SEC filings, financials, revenue, profit, FDA drugs, adverse events, FRED economic data, Census demographics, BLS jobs/unemployment/inflation, ATTOM real est

  • resolve_entity

    "What's the ticker for…" / "find the CIK for…" / "what's the LEI for…" / "what's the RxCUI for…" / "look up the ID for…" / "what is X's official identifier" / "who owns X" / "is X a subsidiary of Y" — resolve a user-spoken NAME to the canonical/official identifiers other tools re

  • compare_entities

    "Compare X and Y" / "X vs Y" / "X versus Y" / "which is bigger / better / larger / more profitable" / "rank these companies" / "head to head" — side-by-side comparison of 2–5 companies or drugs in ONE parallel call. ALWAYS PREFER over sequential single-pack lookups when comparing

  • subscribe

    Create a proactive monitoring subscription to a live-data event stream. Returns the new subscription id. Requires a Pipeworx OAuth account (anonymous + BYO cannot persist subscriptions). Supported types: "sec_8k" (8-K filings matching ticker + item codes — e.g. items:["5.02"] = o

  • unsubscribe

    Cancel a subscription by id. Ownership is enforced — you can only cancel your own subscriptions. The row is deactivated (not deleted) so its historical events stay available via recent_alerts.

  • list_subscriptions

    List the caller's active subscriptions. Returns id, type, params, created_at, last_fired_at, fire_count for each. Use this to review what you're monitoring before adding more or to find an id to cancel.

  • recent_alerts

    Pull fired events from your subscription feed. Returns the most recent alerts the evaluator has written to your persisted feed — each carries source, citation_uri (pipeworx:// when available), and the raw event payload. Filter by type (e.g. "sec_8k") and/or since (ISO timestamp).

  • validate_claim

    "Is it true that…" / "fact check" / "verify the claim that…" / "did X really…" / "was Y actually…" / "confirm or refute" / "true or false" — natural-language claim verification against authoritative sources. Use whenever the agent needs to check whether something a user said is f

  • company_facts

    TYPED, DETERMINISTIC financial facts for a US public company for an EXPLICITLY NAMED reporting period — "Apple revenue for fiscal 2023", "Walmart net income FY2026 Q3", "Microsoft cash at the end of fiscal 2024". PREFER OVER entity_profile / get_company_financials whenever the pe

  • company_register_search

    Search the NATIONAL BUSINESS REGISTERS by company name and get the register's own id back — a Companies House number, a Norwegian organisasjonsnummer, a Finnish business id, a SIREN, a Japanese corporate number, an Estonian registry code, a CNPJ, or an LEI. Use this when you want

  • scan_dependency

    Composite "should I add this npm package to my project" check in ONE call — fans out across deps.dev (license + advisories + version history) and bundlephobia (gzipped/minified bundle size, dependency count, ESM/tree-shake support). Use whenever an agent asks "is X safe / popular

  • bet_research

    Research a Polymarket bet by pulling the relevant Pipeworx data for it in one call. Pass a market slug ("will-kristi-noem-win-the-2028-republican-presidential-nomination"), a polymarket.com URL, or a question text. A dated slug ("...-by-june-30-2026") still resolves after it sett

  • polymarket_arbitrage

    Find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket via monotonicity violations + partition-sum checks. Call with NO args for a `trending_scan` of the top ~200 markets by weekly volume; pass `event` for the strongest per-event partition_check, or `topic` for a themed cross-event scan. `ev

  • polymarket_edges

    Scan top Polymarket markets and return opportunities where Pipeworx data disagrees with market price. Built for "what should I bet on today" — agents discover opportunities without paging hundreds of markets. FIVE MODEL FAMILIES grouped into three response segments under by_segme

  • polymarket_kalshi_spread

    Cross-venue spread between Kalshi and Polymarket for the same resolving question. The two venues sometimes price the same outcome 2-25pp apart because their participant pools differ — when the bet shapes are equivalent that delta is a real signal, when they aren't the tool says s

  • polymarket_fill_risk

    Realizable-vs-theoretical edge check against live CLOB order-book depth — AND Polymarket's own taker fee, which is never zero and is folded in rather than left for you to add (fleet #3446: r/PredictionsMarkets flagged a "clean" fill that quietly omitted it as optimistic in the di

  • polymarket_edge_tracker

    Edge persistence and decay telemetry built from daily polymarket_edges snapshots. Answers "how long has this edge existed and is it shrinking?" — a fresh wide edge and a 3-week-old wide edge are different trades (the latter is wide for a reason nobody is willing to take). Args: d

  • kalshi_weather_edge

    Prices Kalshi daily high-temperature markets against the NWS forecast for the market's OWN settlement station, and measures whether that forecast actually beats the market. Two modes. LIVE (default): returns the full strike ladder for one city and settlement date with market_prob

  • resolution_audit

    Extract the settlement clause of a single Polymarket (.com or .us) or Kalshi market: who publishes the settling number (source), the clock time + timezone it is taken at (falling back to the market TITLE when the clause itself says "the time range specified in the title" — e.g. P

  • resolution_diff

    Field-by-field diff of TWO markets' settlement clauses (one from each of `a` and `b`; either can be Polymarket .com, Polymarket US, or Kalshi) — runs resolution_audit on both sides and compares source, settle time, precision, comparison_basis, and evidence standard. Returns `equi

  • release_calendar_markets

    JOIN of the official release calendar (econ data, the FOMC, FDA decisions, SEC rules) against LIVE Polymarket/Kalshi markets — which scheduled releases land in the next N hours, and which live markets resolve on them. This is a POSITIONING tool, not a speed product: results are c

  • prediction_calibration

    REALIZED win rate by shown price and minutes elapsed for short-horizon crypto up/down markets, net of taker fee — read from our own settled-outcomes archive, not from live prices. Answers the one question no venue will: "a side shown at 82 with five minutes left, how often did it

  • updown_venue_compare

    The same 15-minute crypto "up or down" window priced on polymarket.com, Polymarket US and Kalshi, side by side, with whether each pair is actually the same contract. Pass asset (btc | eth | sol | xrp | bnb) and window ("current" default, "next", "previous", or the window START as

  • research_row

    Claygent-style per-row research: answer ONE question about ONE company and return a JSON object matching your output_schema, with every field wrapped in its own evidence — {value, evidence_url, quote, status}. status is NEVER self-reported by the model: "found" means this code in

  • classify_row

    Cheap categorization: given a company and a list of candidate labels, decide which labels apply — the most common GTM/AI usage shape (tagging a list by industry, ICP fit, etc.), one small model call. Same evidence contract as research_row: each label comes back {label, applies, e

  • pipeworx_trending

    What other AI agents are calling on Pipeworx right now. Returns the top tools, top packs, and total call volume over a recent window (24h, 7d, or 30d). Useful for: (1) discovering what data sources are hot for current events, (2) confirming a popular tool is the canonical choice

  • suggest_questions

    What can I ask Pipeworx? / what is Pipeworx good for? / what can you do? / give me ideas / show me examples / getting started / what data do you have? — the onboarding entry point for an agent that just connected and wants to know what is worth asking. Returns category-bucketed e

  • generate_llms_txt

    Generate a production-ready llms.txt file for any URL so AI crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) can index the site cleanly. Fetches the page, extracts title/description/key links, and emits the standard llms.txt markdown format. Output is a single text blob ready to drop at si

    Tell the Pipeworx team something is broken, missing, or needs to exist. Use when a tool returns wrong/stale data (bug), when a tool you wish existed isn't in the catalog (feature/data_gap), or when something worked surprisingly well (praise). ONLY for tools served by this Pipewor

  • remember

    Save data the agent will need to reuse later — across this conversation or across sessions. Use when you discover something worth carrying forward (a resolved ticker, a target address, a user preference, a research subject) so you don't have to look it up again. Stored as a key-v

  • recall

    Retrieve a value previously saved via remember, or list all saved keys (omit the key argument). Use to look up context the agent stored earlier — the user's target ticker, an address, prior research notes — without re-deriving it from scratch. Scoped to your identifier (anonymous

  • forget

    Delete a previously stored memory by key. Use when context is stale, the task is done, or you want to clear sensitive data the agent saved earlier. Pair with remember and recall.

  • search_uk_legislation

  • get_legislation_section

    Read the actual WORDS of one section of a UK Act or statutory instrument — "what does section 5 of the Data Protection Act 2018 say", "quote section 1 of the Human Rights Act", "text of s.170 DPA 2018". Returns the full text of that section alone, so a specific provision does not

  • get_legislation_text

    Read the text of a whole UK Act or statutory instrument — the body of the law rather than a catalogue entry. Use for short instruments and for reading an Act end to end; for one provision prefer get_legislation_section, which returns just that section. Large Acts run to megabytes

  • legislation_amendments

    What has amended this UK Act or instrument, and (in the other direction) what this legislation itself amends — "what has changed the Data Protection Act 2018", "has section 13A been amended", "what does the Victims and Prisoners Act 2024 amend". Each row names the amending/amende

  • get_explanatory_notes

    Read the Explanatory Notes for a UK Act — plain-language commentary written by the government department responsible, explaining what a section is meant to do and why. NOT part of the law and not endorsed by Parliament — use for context on intent, never as the text of the law its

Häufige Fragen

Ist Legislation Uk sicher?

Er hat 3 von 3 zutreffenden Basischecks bestanden. Den Code haben wir nicht gelesen. Bevor du einen Schlüssel oder Token hinzufügst, sieh nach, welche Zugriffe der Server verlangt, und nutze einen Schlüssel, der nur die Berechtigungen hat, die du brauchst.

Welche Schlüssel oder Codes braucht er?

Das musst du eintragen: PIPEWORX_API_KEY

Läuft er auf meinem Computer oder in der Cloud?

Beides geht: Installiere ihn auf deinem Computer oder verbinde dich mit der Cloud-Version.

Wird er noch gepflegt?

Das GitHub-Repo wurde zuletzt – geändert, und die neueste Version (0.2.1) kam vor 5 Tagen in die Registry.

Welche Apps können ihn nutzen?

Apps, die MCP unterstützen, etwa Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor und VS Code. Er verbindet sich per URL, also funktionieren auch Apps, die Remote-MCP-Server akzeptieren, zum Beispiel ChatGPT im Entwicklermodus.

legislation-uk

UK legislation from legislation.gov.uk — the official database of UK Acts and statutory instruments. Search for legislation, read its metadata, read the actual text of an Act or of one section in the version you choose (as amended, as enacted, or as it stood on a date), see what has amended it (or what it amends), and read the plain-language Explanatory Notes.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1865+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Covers England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland: ukpga (UK Public General Acts), uksi (UK Statutory Instruments), asp (Acts of the Scottish Parliament), anaw/asc (Wales), nia (Northern Ireland Acts), ukla (UK Local Acts).

Tools

ToolWhat it returns
search_uk_legislationSearch by title words (and optional year) → matching Acts/instruments with full-text URLs. type is optional — an exact code, a plain category ("act", "si", "ssi"), or omit it to default to ukpga. (Renamed from search_legislation — the old name still resolves.)
get_legislationMetadata for one Act/instrument by type + year + number: title, status, extent, enactment date, full-text URL
get_legislation_sectionThe actual text of ONE section — e.g. section 5 of the Data Protection Act 2018 (ukpga/2018/12) — without paying for the whole statute. Takes as_at (or version) for a point-in-time date.
get_legislation_textThe text of a whole Act/instrument, byte-bounded: large Acts are truncated with an explicit note pointing at the section-level tool. Takes as_at (or version).
legislation_amendmentsWhat has amended this legislation (direction: "affected", default) or what it amends (direction: "affecting") — amending/amended instrument, affected/affecting provisions, change type, whether applied, commencement date. Paged at 50 — always states total_results/total_pages.
get_explanatory_notesPlain-language commentary written by the responsible government department, explaining what a section is meant to do. NOT part of the law. Pass section for one section's commentary, or omit for an overview + table of contents.
Versions (the trap)

UK legislation exists in point-in-time versions that differ in substance, not cosmetics: the text as enacted and the text as amended at a date. Section 5 of the Data Protection Act 2018 refers to "the GDPR" as enacted and "the UK GDPR" as it stands today. The text tools take a version argument — "current" (default), "enacted", or a YYYY-MM-DD date — or the equivalent as_at: "YYYY-MM-DD" alias, and every response states which version it served (version_valid_from) and the date that version took effect. Repealed/omitted words appear as runs of dots, exactly as legislation.gov.uk renders them.

Section numbering also differs between versions: a section inserted by amendment does not exist in the enacted text, so a section_not_found for one version may still exist in another.

legislation.gov.uk serves the nearest EARLIER version silently when nothing changed on the exact date you asked for — the URL and Content-Location header both echo the date you requested even though the served text is older. The only place the real served date shows up is the document's own version metadata, which is why version_valid_from is on every response and a version_note explains the gap whenever as_at and version_valid_from differ.

Amendments are paged at 50, never the total

legislation_amendments hits /changes/{affected|affecting}/{type}/{year}/{number}/data.feed, an Atom feed capped at 50 entries per page. The Data Protection Act 2018 alone has 2,271+ recorded effects across 46 pages — every response carries total_results, total_pages, page, and next_page so a caller never mistakes one page for the whole change history.

Explanatory Notes have no XML — and no single page shape

data.xml 404s for /notes; only HTML exists, and legislation.gov.uk uses two different templates depending on the Act's age. Older Acts (e.g. Equality Act 2010) put the entire commentary — every section's notes — on one HTML page. Newer Acts (e.g. Data Protection Act 2018) serve only a "view PDF" stub at /notes; the real content sits under /notes/contents, split into numbered "divisions" (chapters), with per-section commentary living in whichever division is titled "Commentary on provisions of Act". get_explanatory_notes tries the flat page first and falls back to locating that division. Not every Act has notes at all (Appropriation, Consolidated Fund, Finance and Consolidation Acts never get them), and not every section gets its own paragraph — some are grouped or unremarked.

Auth

None. legislation.gov.uk is keyless and free.

Data sources

  • legislation.gov.uk — full text as CLML XML at /{type}/{year}/{number}/data.xml, section-level at /{type}/{year}/{number}/section/{n}/data.xml, versioned via /enacted or /{date} path segments; search via the Atom feed at /{type}/data.feed; amendments via the Atom feed at /changes/{affected|affecting}/{type}/{year}/{number}/data.feed; Explanatory Notes as HTML at /{type}/{year}/{number}/notes (and /notes/contents for larger, division-split Acts).

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{

"mcpServers": { "legislation-uk": { "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/legislation-uk/mcp" } } }

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/legislation-uk/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{

"mcpServers": { "pipeworx": { "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp" } } }

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1865+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_uk_legislation \

-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"type":"ukpga","title":"equality"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_uk_legislation. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Run it from npm

@pipeworx/mcp-legislation-uk is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same https://gateway.pipeworx.io/legislation-uk/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access; there is no offline mode.

{

"mcpServers": { "legislation-uk": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-legislation-uk"] } } }

Without a key it calls anonymously, capped at 50 calls a day. A free account raises that to 200 a day: get a key at https://pipeworx.io/signup and add "env": { "PIPEWORX_API_KEY": " " } to the server entry. The key is sent as a Bearer token, the same way a hosted connection sends it, so calls are metered and billed exactly as they are there.

It lists only this pack's tools by default. Set PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 to also list ask_pipeworx and the other gateway-wide tools.

Behind an HTTPS proxy: Node's built-in fetch does not read HTTPS_PROXY by default. Newer Node releases honour it when NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 is set; check your Node version's documentation.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Legislation Uk data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
