## MCP tools (3)

### `search_tribunal_decisions` (~431 tokens)

Search UK first-tier and Upper Tribunal decisions published on GOV.UK — Employment Tribunal (first-tier, NOT the appeal tribunal), Employment Appeal Tribunal, Residential Property Tribunal, Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber — social security/disability/child support), and Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery). This is the ONLY reachable source for first-tier Employment Tribunal decisions (134,000+) — Find Case Law / uk-caselaw carries the Employment APPEAL Tribunal only, so a search there for "employment tribunal decisions" silently returns appeals, not first-instance decisions. Returns title, GOV.UK link, and publication date for each match; pass a link to get_tribunal_decision for the full text. Covers England, Wales and Scotland tribunals as published on GOV.UK only — Northern Ireland tribunals are not on this platform. Decisions before roughly 2017 are sparse. This is NOT Crown Court, County Court, Magistrates’ Court or any other first-instance court — those are not tribunals and are not published here.

Input parameters:

- `category` (string): Restrict to one tribunal decision category slug, e.g. "disability-discrimination" or "unfair-dismissal". Call list_tribunal_categories for the exact slugs — they are not guessable from a category nam…
- `from_date` (string): Earliest publication date, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `limit` (number): Decisions to return, 1-50 (default 20).
- `query` (string): Free-text search over the decision (party names, subject matter), e.g. "disability discrimination" or "unfair dismissal Tesco".
- `to_date` (string): Latest publication date, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `tribunal` (string, required): Which tribunal to search. One of: employment, employment_appeal, residential_property, administrative_appeals, tax. "employment" is the first-tier Employment Tribunal (the one Find Case Law does not…

### `get_tribunal_decision` (~197 tokens)

Fetch one tribunal decision by the `link` returned from search_tribunal_decisions (a GOV.UK path like "/employment-tribunal-decisions/..."). Returns the full extracted decision text where GOV.UK publishes it (most employment, appeal, residential-property and administrative-appeals decisions), the decision categories, the decision date, and a pdf_url to the original judgment PDF. Tax and Chancery Chamber decisions are PDF-only on GOV.UK — `text_available` is false for those and only pdf_url is returned.

Input parameters:

- `link` (string, required): GOV.UK path from a search result, e.g. "/employment-tribunal-decisions/r-ghiotto-v-hawkwell-house-hotel-ltd-6009226-slash-2024".
- `max_chars` (number): Maximum characters of decision text to return (default 40000). The response says whether it was truncated.

### `list_tribunal_categories` (~116 tokens)

List the decision category slugs GOV.UK actually uses for one tribunal, read live from that tribunal’s own finder page (not a hardcoded list, since GOV.UK adds and renames these over time). Pass the value column to search_tribunal_decisions’ `category` argument — the label is what a human reads, the slug is what the filter needs.

Input parameters:

- `tribunal` (string, required): Which tribunal. One of: employment, employment_appeal, residential_property, administrative_appeals, tax.

## Common questions

### What is the Uk Tribunals MCP server?

Uk Tribunals is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/uk-tribunals. UK first-tier tribunal decisions, GOV.UK search + content API. This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-uk-tribunals).

### Is the Uk Tribunals MCP server safe to use?

Uk Tribunals scores 82 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Uk Tribunals MCP server expose?

Uk Tribunals exposes 3 tools: search_tribunal_decisions, get_tribunal_decision, list_tribunal_categories. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 744 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Uk Tribunals MCP server still maintained?

Uk Tribunals is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Uk Tribunals MCP server under?

Uk Tribunals declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Uk Tribunals MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Uk Tribunals, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
