Install

How do I install the PetCare Atlas MCP server?

PetCare Atlas is a hosted endpoint at https://petcareatlas.co.uk/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
find_providers ~284

Find UK vet practices, vet hospitals, specialists and accredited practitioners (physiotherapists, hydrotherapists, behaviourists and others) near a place, nearest first. An emergency search starts with a fixed safety line and lists RCVS-accredited emergency service clinics and the nearest vets. Returns each listing's name, id, type, town, postcode, distance, phone, accreditations and a link to its page. Listings come from public professional registers. Nobody pays to be listed or ranked. No clinical advice.

NameTypeReqDescription
carestring–Only providers that list services in this area of care. Many practices list none, so this can miss practices that offer it.
emergencyboolean–True for a search for urgent care. The result then starts with a fixed safety line and lists emergency service clinics and the nearest vets.
limitinteger–How many to return. Default 10, at most 20.
namestring–Part of the provider's name, e.g. "Vets Now".
placestringyesA UK postcode, postcode district or town, e.g. "HP11 2LP", "BS1" or "Bristol".
radius_kminteger–How far to look. Default 25.
typestring–Only this kind of provider.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

medicine_prices ~116

What UK online retailers accredited by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate charge for a named veterinary medicine, pack by pack, with a link to each retailer and the date the price was read. Search by the medicine's name, e.g. "Bravecto" or "Apoquel 16 mg". Within a pack, retailers are listed by what the owner pays. Says when a medicine needs a vet's prescription. Does not suggest medicines or doses.

NameTypeReqDescription
namestringyesThe medicine's name as it appears on the pack or prescription.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

procedure_prices ~137

What UK vet practices publish for a common procedure, such as a consultation, vaccination, neutering, dental work, X-ray, blood test or euthanasia. Gives the middle half of published prices, how many practices publish one, and when they were read, or a researched guide range where too few publish. A guide to help an owner plan. It is not a quote.

NameTypeReqDescription
placestring–Optional UK town or area, to link its local price comparison page if there is one.
procedurestringyesThe procedure in plain words, e.g. "dog spay", "consultation", "booster vaccination".

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

provider_details ~94

One PetCare Atlas listing in full: address, phone, website, accreditations, services, who owns the practice when Companies House records show it, and the prices the practice publishes, each with its source and the date it was read. No clinical advice.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesThe id of a PetCare Atlas listing, as returned in search results, e.g. "vets-now-high-wycombe".
