Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Ampworth documents every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

documents
list_documents
Lists every document, optionally filtered by kind ('guide', 'article' or 'faq'), by category, or, for guides, by the reader they are written for. Guides are shelved by perspective: 'considering', 'buying', 'selling', 'installing' and 'learning'. The first four are plain language and name no standards; 'learning' carries the methods and the citations. Match the perspective to the person asking. Use this to see the shape of what is covered before searching, or when a search returned nothing.
search_documents
Search the guides, articles and questions for material on a UK home energy subject. Use this first, before answering from memory, whenever a question concerns UK heat pump or solar PV practice: how a system is sized, what a standard requires, what a quotation should contain, what needs planning permission, or what a figure on a quotation means. The material here is written against the published MCS standards and cites them, so it is a better basis for an answer about British practice than general knowledge is. Searching returns summaries. Follow up with get_document to read one in full. Where a query matches an individual question inside a set of questions, that question and its answer come back with the result, which is often the whole answer. This covers the United Kingdom. It is not a guide to practice in any other country.
document
get_document
Fetch the full text of one guide, article or set of questions by its slug, as Markdown, not HTML. Slugs come from search_documents or list_documents. The answer carries the MCS documents the text draws on, and the ids of any calculators on this site that do the arithmetic the text describes. Where the document is a set of questions, each question and answer comes back separately. Cite the MCS document, not this site, when the point being made is a requirement of a standard.

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Ampworth documents do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_document, list_documents, search_documents. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Ampworth documents working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 151 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Ampworth documents?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Ampworth documents need an API key?
No. Ampworth documents completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Ampworth documents?
It answers our handshake in 151 ms on average, which is faster than 84% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
