## MCP tools (3)

### `get_crimes` (~196 tokens)

Get street-level crimes reported near a latitude/longitude in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, from the official police open data. Returns each crime's category, street, month and outcome status, plus the month the figures are actually for. Answers "what crime was reported near <place>" and "how much burglary is there around these coordinates". Omit `date` for the latest published month — the feed runs about two months in arrears, and a month that has not been published yet is reported as such rather than as an absence of crime.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Month in YYYY-MM form, e.g. "2026-05". Omit for the latest published month. Data lags roughly two months; if the requested month is not published yet, the most recent available month is returned and…
- `lat` (number, required): Latitude of the location
- `lng` (number, required): Longitude of the location

### `get_forces` (~28 tokens)

List all police forces in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Returns force ID and name.

### `get_outcomes` (~80 tokens)

Get outcomes for crimes at a location for a given month. Returns outcome category and date for each crime.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): Month to query in YYYY-MM format (e.g. "2024-01"). Defaults to latest available.
- `lat` (number, required): Latitude of the location
- `lng` (number, required): Longitude of the location

## Common questions

### What is the Ukpolice MCP server?

Ukpolice is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/ukpolice. UK Police MCP, wraps the UK Police Data API (free, no auth) https://data.police.uk/api. This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-ukpolice).

### Is the Ukpolice MCP server safe to use?

Ukpolice scores 70 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 6 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 Ukpolice MCP server expose?

Ukpolice exposes 3 tools: get_crimes, get_forces, get_outcomes. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 304 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Ukpolice MCP server still maintained?

Ukpolice is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 6 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 Ukpolice MCP server under?

Ukpolice 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 Ukpolice MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 15 checks on Ukpolice, covering Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health, Source repository and 11 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about Ukpolice: Malware scan. 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.
