Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant search UK government open data published on data.gov.uk, with no API key required.

What you can do
  • Search UK government open datasets on data.gov.uk
  • Look up open data published by UK public bodies
  • No tool list is published, so exact search and retrieval capabilities are not documented beyond dataset search.
When to use it
Useful when you need UK public-sector open data — statistics, registers or departmental datasets — and want the assistant to find relevant datasets on data.gov.uk without setting up an API key.
Requirements
Runs as a local process over stdio, installed from the npm package data-gov-uk-mcp, so Node.js and npm are needed. No authentication, environment variables or headers are declared. Desktop client only; not available as a web-hosted endpoint.
Before you install
No credentials are requested. The server queries the public data.gov.uk service, so search terms are sent to that third party. The tool list is not published, so review what it can do before relying on it.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Data Gov Uk Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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.

SourceWeft started this package once in an isolated sandbox, without credentials, to list its tools. That failed: the server did not start.

Score

25% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
