UK Parliament MCP Server

parliament open data MCP server. (This repository is no longer actively maintained. Development continued in a fork which contains major improvements and ongoing updates: ). Exposed over MCP by the uk parliament mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

This project helps Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistants, like Microsoft Copilot, answer questions using comprehensive official data from the UK Parliament. It acts as a bridge, allowing the AI to access up-to-date, reliable information directly from the source, covering members, bills, voting records, committees, debates, procedures, and much more.

Adding it to your client

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server

Configuration

Make sure you have the following installed: - .NET SDK (v9 or later recommended) - Git - Visual Studio Code

Caveats

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the uk parliament mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. UK Parliament's toolset — Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by chrisbrooksbank-parliament; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
