Available tools 6

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

guides

list_guides

Every guide: its slug, title, a one-line summary and its address on the site.

search_guides

Search ByeFine's plain-English guides to UK parking tickets and other penalty notices (council penalty charge notices, private parking charges, bus lanes, a Notice to Owner, a refused appeal, the independent adjudicators, and more). Returns the best matches with a slug for get_guide. General information for England and Wales, not legal advice.

calculate

calculate_deadlines

Work out the time limits the law sets in England for a parking or traffic notice from the dates printed on it: the reduced-amount period, formal representations, when a council's Notice to Owner may come and the latest it may come, the tribunal, POPLA or IAS after a rejection, and whether a private Notice to Keeper came too late for the keeper to be liable. Each date errs early and comes with its legal source. The notice itself is authoritative.

contravention

search_contravention_codes

Find council penalty charge notice contravention codes from plain words, e.g. "disabled bay", "yellow box junction" or "dropped kerb". Returns each code, its description and its charge level; use explain_contravention_code for more.

explain

explain_contravention_code

Explain a council penalty charge notice contravention code (the two-digit code on the PCN, with any suffix letter): what it means, whether it is a higher or lower level contravention, what any suffix means, and the grounds the law allows for formal representations in England. No amounts: those depend on the council and are printed on the notice. Private parking charges do not use these codes.

guide

get_guide

One guide in full as Markdown, by its slug (from search_guides or list_guides), with the date it was last checked and its official sources.

Is ByeFine parking guides working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 23 of 23 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 115 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect ByeFine parking guides?

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 ByeFine parking guides need an API key?

No. ByeFine parking guides completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is ByeFine parking guides?

It answers our handshake in 115 ms on average, which is faster than 90% 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.

Is ByeFine parking guides open source?

We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
