UK legislation via MCP — full-text search across statutes and provisions
Uk MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Uk directly instead of describing what you should do. UK legislation via MCP — full-text search across statutes and provisions.
First request opens an OAuth signup flow (setup details: ansvar.eu/docs/quickstart). After signup, your client is bound to your account; tier (free / premium / team / company) determines fan-out, quota, and which downstream MCPs are reachable.
We build AI-accelerated compliance and legal research tools for the global market. This MCP server makes 3,241 UK statutes searchable from any AI client -- no browser tabs, no PDFs, no manual cross-referencing.
The server ships on npm as @anthropic/mcp-inspector, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Once Uk is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
search_legislation — FTS5 search on 512,651 provisions with BM25 rankingget_provision — Retrieve specific provision by Act name and section numbervalidate_citation — Validate citation against database (zero-hallucination check)build_legal_stance — Aggregate citations from statutes, case law, and preparatory worksformat_citation — Format citations per UK conventions (full/short/pinpoint)check_currency — Check if statute is in force, amended, or repealedlist_sources — List all available statutes with metadata and data provenanceabout — Server info, capabilities, dataset statistics, and coverage summaryget_eu_basis — Get EU instruments that UK statutes derive from or align withget_uk_implementations — Find UK laws implementing or derived from a specific EU actsearch_eu_implementations — Search EU documents with UK implementation and retention countsget_provision_eu_basis — Get EU law references for a specific UK provisionThis sits in the database access group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Uk's toolset — search_legislation, get_provision, validate_citation and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by eu.ansvar; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Uk's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
