UK Parliament MCP Server

Overview

The UK Parliament AI Assistant MCP server is a specialized gateway that lets conversational agents such as Microsoft Copilot pull authoritative, up‑to‑date information directly from the official UK Parliament data repositories. By exposing a curated set of MCP endpoints—covering members, bills, voting records, committees, debates, procedural rules, constituencies, elections, and transparency registers—the server eliminates the need for LLMs to rely on generic web‑scraping or pre‑trained knowledge. Instead, the assistant queries the real source of truth and returns fact‑based answers that are traceable back to precise URLs.

For developers, this means a single integration point that guarantees compliance with data licensing and reduces hallucination risk. The server enforces strict source usage: every response must be constructed solely from its own MCP API calls, and the assistant appends a list of the exact URLs consulted. This transparent provenance is invaluable for auditability, regulatory compliance, and building user trust in applications that provide political or civic information.

Key capabilities include:

• Live parliamentary activity – instant queries about current debates, scheduled questions, or procedural changes.
• Member data – biographical details, voting histories, and registered interests for any MP or peer.
• Legislative tracking – bill summaries, amendment histories, and related statutory instruments or treaties.
• Committee insights – committee memberships, inquiry agendas, and evidence submissions.
• Procedural references – access to official procedural texts such as Erskine May and scheduling of oral questions.
• Election analytics – constituency boundaries, past results, and demographic overlays.

Typical use cases span civic tech platforms that need real‑time parliamentary updates, news outlets verifying claims against official records, educational tools that walk students through legislative processes, and government‑tech products that require accurate voting data for policy analysis. By integrating with the MCP workflow, developers can embed these capabilities into chatbots, voice assistants, or data‑driven dashboards without exposing sensitive internal logic.

What sets this MCP server apart is its source‑centric design: every answer is traceable, verifiable, and automatically sourced. This not only improves factual accuracy but also aligns with emerging standards for responsible AI that demand clear evidence of data provenance. For developers building next‑generation civic engagement tools, the UK Parliament AI Assistant offers a robust, ready‑to‑use bridge between LLMs and the authoritative parliamentary data layer.
