Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@UK Parliament MCP Server who is the current MP for Witney?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Disclaimer: This is an unofficial, independent project. It is not created, endorsed, or supported by UK Parliament. All data is sourced from the publicly available parliament.uk APIs.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants access to UK Parliament data. Query MPs, Lords, bills, votes, committees, debates, and more through AI assistants like Claude Desktop and VS Code Copilot. Also includes a CLI for terminal access.
Connect your AI assistant to 233 UK Parliament API tools for comprehensive parliamentary research.
Prefer the terminal? See the CLI demo.
Related MCP server: PoetryQuill Analytics MCP
Step 1: Configure your AI assistant (see Claude Desktop or VS Code below)
Step 2: Start a parliamentary research session:
Use the /parliament slash command (in Claude Desktop or compatible MCP clients)
Or say "Order Order" (like the Speaker) to initialize the session
This gives your AI assistant the context it needs to effectively use the 233 available tools. To end the session, start a new chat.
You are a helpful assistant that answers questions using only data from UK Parliament MCP servers.
When the session begins, introduce yourself with a brief message such as:
"Hello! I'm a parliamentary data assistant. I can help answer questions using official data from the UK Parliament MCP APIs. Just ask me something, and I'll fetch what I can - and I'll always show you which sources I used."
When responding to user queries, you must:
Only retrieve and use data from the MCP API endpoints this server provides.
Avoid using any external sources or inferred knowledge.
After every response, append a list of all MCP API URLs used to generate the answer.
If no relevant data is available via the MCP API, state that clearly and do not attempt to fabricate a response.
Convert raw data into human-readable summaries while preserving accuracy, but always list the raw URLs used.If you use Claude Code, this repo includes a /parliament-research slash command that turns Claude into a Parliament research assistant.
Type /parliament-research followed by a natural language question:
/parliament-research How did Keir Starmer vote on climate?
/parliament-research When was Chelmsford mentioned in Hansard?
/parliament-research What bills about education are in progress?Claude will pick the right CLI commands, run them, and present a sourced answer. The command file lives at .claude/commands/parliament-research.md.

You can ask questions about virtually all aspects of UK Parliament data. Here are some key areas:
Live Parliamentary Activity: "What's happening in the House of Commons right now?" or "What's currently being debated in the Lords?"
Members of Parliament: "Tell me everything you know about Boris Johnson," "What are Sir Keir Starmer's registered interests?" or "Show me the voting record of member 4129"
Bills & Legislation: "Show me details of bill 425," "What amendments were proposed for bill 425?" or "What publications exist for the Environment Bill?"
Voting Records: "How did MPs vote on the climate change motion?", "Show me Lords divisions on healthcare policy" or "How often do Diane Abbott and Keir Starmer vote the same way?"
Committees & Inquiries: "Which committees are investigating economic issues?", "Show me evidence submitted to the Treasury Committee" or "Which committees scrutinised the Renters' Rights Bill?"
Parliamentary Procedures: "Search Erskine May for references to Speaker's rulings" or "What are the oral question times this week?"
Constituencies & Elections: "Show me election results for Birmingham constituencies" or "List all constituencies in Scotland"
Official Documents: "Are there any statutory instruments about housing?", "What treaties involve trade agreements?" or "What papers has the Department for Transport deposited this month?"
House of Lords Business: "What is on the Lords order paper on 15 January?", "Did the Lords sit on 2 December?" or "Show Lords written questions answered in January"
Briefings & Explainers: "Find Commons Library briefings on net zero" or "Search the Parliament website for sitting hours"
Transparency Data: "Show register of interests for Treasury ministers" or "What are the declared interests categories?"
Not sure where to look? "Search Parliament for net zero" searches members, bills, committees, Hansard and written questions at once.
These high-level tools combine multiple API calls for common research tasks:
Tool | What it does |
| One search across members, bills, committees, Hansard and written questions |
| Complete MP/Lord profile: bio, interests, voting record |
| How an MP or Lord voted (Aye/No, Content/Not Content) on divisions about a topic |
| Two members' votes side by side, with how often they agree |
| Bills a member has sponsored |
| Full bill info: details, stages, publications |
| Committees that examined a bill: committee stages and select committee scrutiny |
| Committee overview: evidence, publications |
| Bills a committee has scrutinised |
| Find MP by UK postcode with full profile |
Note: tools that take a member_id (int) need it looked up first with get_member_by_name(). When a power tool finds nothing it returns suggestions for what to try next (e.g. the surname only, a broader topic). Every house parameter accepts 1/2 or "Commons"/"Lords".
Example:
Tell me everything about Keir StarmerThe AI will use get_member_by_name to find the member_id, then get_mp_profile to fetch biography, registered interests, and voting history in a single efficient call.
Note: Since AI is involved, some responses may be inaccurate. These tips help improve reliability.
Always begin your session with /parliament or say "Order Order". This ensures the AI assistant uses the correct tools and cites its sources properly.
Use the + icon (new chat) if:
The AI seems stuck in a loop
You want to reset the conversation context
While the AI is instructed to list source URLs automatically, you can ask for them again at any time. This is useful for troubleshooting or if you simply want to re-confirm the source for the last response.
You can ask:
Show me the API URL you just used.Example response:
The API URL just used to retrieve information about Boris Johnson is:
https://members-api.parliament.uk/api/Members/Search?Name=Boris%20Johnson
Example:
Has Chelmsford been mentioned in either the Commons or Lords?The AI may:
Query both Commons and Lords Hansard
Combine the results
Offer more detail if requested
For debugging or to inspect the raw data structure, you can ask the assistant to show you the full JSON response from its last API call. This is particularly useful for developers who want to understand exactly what information the AI is working with before it is summarized.
Example prompt:
Show me the JSON returned from the last MCP call.What is happening now in both Houses?

parliament members search "Starmer" --data-only | jq '.items[0]'When using --fields, the CLI shows available fields on stderr if none match, so you can discover the correct field paths.
--raw and --fields also work before the command (parliament --raw members search "Starmer").
Global flags:
--format / -f - Output format: json, table, markdown, csv, auto (default: auto)
--fields - Comma-separated field paths for column selection (case-insensitive)
--raw - Output full wrapper JSON (url + data), disabling auto-formatting
--pretty / -p - Pretty-print JSON output
--data-only / -d - Return only the data field, not the {url, data} wrapper
Every API request logs the source URL to stderr, so you can always see exactly which Parliament API endpoint was called:
# URLs appear on stderr, data on stdout
parliament members search "Starmer"
# stderr:
# URLs called:

# Capture just the data (URLs go to stderr, not stdout)
parliament members search "Starmer" > results.jsonThis makes it easy to verify data sources, debug issues, or construct your own API calls.

Recent tool additions, removals, and schema changes observed during successful MCP inspections.
Loading tool schema changelog…
Scored across 233 tools
The tool set contains many overlapping options, especially for Hansard search (search_hansard, search_hansard_full, search_hansard_contributions, search_committee_debates), voting records (get_member_voting, get_commons_voting_record_for_member, get_lords_voting_record_for_member, check_mp_vote), and member lookup (search_members, get_member_by_name, search_historical_members, search_hansard_members). Combined convenience tools (e.g. get_mp_profile, get_bill_overview) also duplicate granular tools, so an agent must read descriptions carefully to choose correctly.
Most names use snake_case, which is readable and predictable at a glance. However, verb conventions vary widely: get_*, search_*, check_*, compare_*, list-style names like parties_list_by_house, standalone nouns like bill_types, and special names like order_order and parliament_guide.
233 tools is an extreme surface for any single MCP server, even a broad domain like UK Parliament. The count alone makes discovery and correct selection difficult, and many tools are highly granular reference or pagination helpers that could be consolidated.
The surface covers an unusually broad range of parliamentary data: bills, members, constituencies, elections, committees, evidence, Hansard, divisions, written questions and statements, EDMs, interests, treaties, statutory instruments, calendar/live business, and Erskine May procedure. No obvious domain-level gaps are apparent.
