Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for UK goods vehicle and PSV operator licence data: search operators, licences, traffic area stats, inquiries and insolvency.

What you can do
  • Search operators by company name, licence number or Companies House number, and fetch full licence or company records
  • Rank operators by vehicles authorised, nationally or per traffic area
  • Review traffic area statistics and what changed between DVSA licence files
  • Track new, ended and revoked licences, Traffic Commissioner decisions and upcoming public inquiries
  • Screen companies for insolvency, administration or overdue accounts
  • Check source dates and data freshness, and fetch full page text by id or URL
When to use it
Useful for checking a UK haulage or bus operator's licence status, fleet size and compliance history, or for screening operators, competitors or counterparties before a deal, hire or audit.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, environment variables or headers are declared, and no authentication is declared.
Before you install
Data is derived from DVSA, Companies House, Traffic Commissioner and Gazette sources and may lag the underlying registers; check data_status for dates. Overdue accounts and public inquiries are not proof of insolvency. Sole traders and partners are counted but not named in some results.

Installation

In SourceWeft

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

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/uk.co.haulierscope%2Foperator-licences/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

search_operators

Search operator licences

Find GB goods vehicle and PSV operators by company name, operator licence number (e.g. OB1234567) or Companies House number. Returns up to `limit` matches with status, licence type, traffic area, town and the canonical page URL. Exact licence and company numbers rank first; names match companies and organisations only (sole traders and partnerships are found only by exact licence number and are never named). Optional filters narrow by traffic area, vehicle category, status, licence type or presence in the latest DVSA file.

Parameterslimitqueryrequiredfilters

get_licence

Get an operator licence

Full record of one GB operator licence by its number: holder (company name and number; never a sole trader's or partner's name), licence type, status, vehicles and trailers authorised, continuation date, operating centres, Companies House status, DVSA earned recognition, upcoming public inquiries, Traffic Commissioner decisions, Gazette insolvency notices and the change history between DVSA files. Licences no longer in the latest file are returned with in_current_file: false.

Parameterslicence_numberrequired

get_company

Get a company's operator licences

All operator licences held by one company or organisation, by Companies House number (e.g. 02155951 or SC096849): totals of licences, vehicles, trailers and operating centres, each licence with its status and continuation date, Companies House status (liquidation, administration, receivership, accounts overdue; dissolved only when verified by number and name), earned recognition, public inquiries, Traffic Commissioner decisions and Gazette notices.

Parameterscompany_numberrequired

area_stats

Traffic area statistics

Statistics for one of the eight GB traffic areas: licences, operators, vehicles and trailers authorised, the mix by licence type and status, the largest operators by vehicles authorised, and towns with at least five company licences (with links).

Parametersarearequired

recent_changes

Changes between DVSA files

What changed between one DVSA operator licence file and the one before: licences new to the file, no longer in the file, back in the file, status changes, licence type, vehicle and trailer authorisation, operating centre and continuation date changes. Companies are listed with before/after values; sole trader and partnership changes are counted only. Defaults to the latest file; pass `release` (YYYY-MM-DD) for an earlier one (data_status lists them).

Parametersarealimitoffsetreleasechange_type

upcoming_public_inquiries

Upcoming public inquiries

Traffic Commissioner public inquiries listed for companies (date, time, venue, legal grounds and the official notice), from the weekly Applications and Decisions and Notices and Proceedings, optionally for one traffic area. Inquiries for sole traders and partnerships are counted, not named. Being called to an inquiry is not a finding against the operator.

Parametersarea

insolvency_watch

Haulier insolvency watch: administration and liquidation

Companies holding operator licences that the Companies House register shows in liquidation, administration or receivership, largest fleets first, with totals by traffic area and recent Gazette insolvency notices. Optionally for one traffic area. Companies only. Accounts overdue is not insolvency: use filing_watch. Each fact is dated to the register; whether a licence continues is a matter for the Traffic Commissioner.

Parametersarealimit

filing_watch

Companies House filing watch: accounts overdue

Companies holding operator licences whose accounts were overdue at the Companies House register date, largest fleets first, with totals by traffic area. Optionally for one traffic area. Companies only. A filing fact, not a sign of insolvency.

Parametersarealimitmonth

licences_ended

Operator licences revoked, surrendered or terminated

Optionally for one traffic area. Companies and organisations are named; sole traders and partnerships are counted only. Quote the official heading; do not restate a surrender or termination as a revocation.

Parametersarealimitmonth

tc_decisions

Traffic Commissioner decisions

Written regulatory decisions the Traffic Commissioners published on GOV.UK (revocations, suspensions, curtailments, refusals, warnings and more): company, licences, outcome, decision date, appeal status and the decision document, with counts by outcome and traffic area.

Parametersarealimitoutcome

Ranking of companies by vehicles authorised in the latest DVSA file: 'haulage-companies' (Standard goods licences, top 100 nationally) or 'coach-and-bus-operators' (PSV licences), or the top 50 in one traffic area. Each row: rank, company, company number, vehicles and trailers, licences, main traffic area, earned recognition, Companies House status and share of all vehicles in scope. Companies only.
