Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account beshogun for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A local MCP server that gives an AI assistant read access to UK planning application data through the PlanWire API.

What you can do: Search planning applications by keyword, council, postcode, status, type or date range, and find applications near a latitude/longitude point. Fetch a single application by its PlanWire ID. List the councils covered and their IDs.
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to look up UK planning applications, check what has been submitted or refused in an area, or explore records near a location without writing API calls yourself.
Requirements: Runs locally via npx, so Node.js 18+ is needed. Requires a PlanWire API key supplied in the PLANWIRE_API_KEY environment variable; a free sandbox key is available. Network access to the PlanWire API is required, and PLANWIRE_API_BASE can override the default endpoint.

Before you install

The PLANWIRE_API_KEY is a secret and must be placed in the MCP client configuration. Queries and the key are sent to the PlanWire API. Free sandbox keys are capped on daily calls and result size; paid plans are needed for higher limits, and exceeding the rate limit returns 429.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Planwire Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

PlanWire MCP Server

Use UK planning application data inside Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client.

PlanWire exposes fresh, normalised UK planning application data through a public API. This MCP server wraps that API as agent tools so an assistant can search applications, inspect a specific record, look near a location, and list supported councils without you writing API calls by hand.

Get a free sandbox API key at https://planwire.io/?utm_source=npm&utm_medium=mcp_readme&utm_campaign=mcp.

What MCP Is

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard way for AI tools to call external services. You run this package locally through npx; it talks to PlanWire using your own API key and returns structured planning data to the MCP client.

This server uses stdio transport. It does not store credentials or run a hosted proxy.

Install

You need Node.js 18+ and a PlanWire API key.

Use the package name exactly as shown: planwire-mcp. If an MCP directory shows an install command for beshogun-planwire-mcp, that directory has stale generated metadata and the install will fail.

The server expects PLANWIRE_API_KEY in the environment. Optional: set PLANWIRE_API_BASE to override the default https://api.planwire.io.

Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "planwire": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "planwire-mcp"],      "env": {        "PLANWIRE_API_KEY": "your_planwire_key_here"      }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "planwire": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "planwire-mcp"],      "env": {        "PLANWIRE_API_KEY": "your_planwire_key_here"      }    }  }}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the config.

Claude Code

Add this to your project .mcp.json:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "planwire": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "planwire-mcp"],      "env": {        "PLANWIRE_API_KEY": "your_planwire_key_here"      }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "planwire": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "planwire-mcp"],      "env": {        "PLANWIRE_API_KEY": "your_planwire_key_here"      }    }  }}

Cursor

Add the same server command in Cursor's MCP settings:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "planwire": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "planwire-mcp"],      "env": {        "PLANWIRE_API_KEY": "your_planwire_key_here"      }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "planwire": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "planwire-mcp"],      "env": {        "PLANWIRE_API_KEY": "your_planwire_key_here"      }    }  }}

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_planning_applications`	Search by keyword, council, postcode, status, type, or date range.
`nearby_planning_applications`	Find applications near a latitude/longitude point.
`get_planning_application`	Fetch one application by PlanWire application id.
`list_councils`	List covered councils and their IDs.

Example Prompts

"Search PlanWire for recent planning applications in Camden."
"Find refused householder extensions in OX1 from the last year."
"What planning applications are within 1km of 51.5074, -0.1278?"
"List the councils PlanWire covers."
"Find planning applications mentioning HMOs in Manchester."

Limits And Pricing

Free sandbox keys are suitable for testing and are capped on daily calls and result size. Paid plans increase limits for production use.

Pricing: https://planwire.io/?utm_source=npm&utm_medium=mcp_readme&utm_campaign=mcp#pricing

Troubleshooting

If the tool says PLANWIRE_API_KEY is not set, add your key to the MCP client config and restart the client.

If PlanWire returns 401, check that the key is correct and active.

If PlanWire returns 429, the key has reached its rate limit. Use fewer calls or upgrade at https://planwire.io/?utm_source=npm&utm_medium=mcp_readme&utm_campaign=mcp#pricing.
