How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Endpoint Security69
  • The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
  • No authorisation is required to call this server. Nothing on it is marked destructive, but we can't show that an anonymous caller can only read: full credit needs the server to list at least one tool and every tool to be verifiably read-only. We use a best-effort check of tool names and descriptions to tell read-only tools from tools that change things, so some genuinely read-only tools may not get full credit. Names that start with a read verb (get, list, read, search and similar) and accurate readOnlyHint annotations help. Meet that to earn full credit, or require authorisation. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
  • HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
  • DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 8940 tokens (~76/item across 117 items; 117 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management3
  • Stability observed for 1 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "redundancy_pay" implies "pay" and declares readOnlyHint instead, contradicting what its own name says it does. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 117 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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 →

Install

How do I install the UK Data for Agents MCP server?

UK Data for Agents is a hosted endpoint at https://ukdata.reliness.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.

Common questions

What is the UK Data for Agents MCP server?

UK Data for Agents is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as uk.co.reliness/uk-data. UK public data tools for agents: companies, tenders, property, stats, documents. No key to start. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://ukdata.reliness.co.uk/mcp).

Is the UK Data for Agents MCP server safe to use?

UK Data for Agents scores 67 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. 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 Data for Agents MCP server expose?

UK Data for Agents exposes 117 tools: company_search, company_profile, company_officers, company_pscs, company_filings, and 112 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 8,940 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the UK Data for Agents MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to UK Data for Agents without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the UK Data for Agents MCP server still maintained?

UK Data for Agents 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 did VerifyMCP test on the UK Data for Agents MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 13 checks on UK Data for Agents, covering TLS certificate, Authorization, HTTPS, HSTS header and 9 more. Supply Chain Security and Provenance & Transparency do not apply to a hosted endpoint, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
