UK Data: Utilities — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can UK Data: Utilities do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: hash_text, ical_event, json_validate, qr_code, rdap_lookup, ssl_check and 2 more. 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 UK Data: Utilities working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 121 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect UK Data: Utilities?

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 UK Data: Utilities need an API key?

No. UK Data: Utilities completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is UK Data: Utilities?

It answers our handshake in 121 ms on average, which is faster than 91% 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.
