UK planning application data for AI agents: search, geo-query and fetch applications.
Connect Planwire to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. UK planning application data for AI agents: search, geo-query and fetch applications. The planwire mcp server is what makes that connection.
Use UK planning application data inside Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
search_planning_applications — Search by keyword, council, postcode, status, type, or date rangenearby_planning_applications — Find applications near a latitude/longitude pointget_planning_application — Fetch one application by PlanWire application idlist_councils — List covered councils and their IDsBecause this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
Configuration is passed through the environment: PLANWIRE_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
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. Planwire's toolset — search_planning_applications, nearby_planning_applications, get_planning_application and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by beshogun; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
