Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
deposit
check_deposit_cap
Work out the most a landlord or agent can ask for as a tenancy deposit and a holding deposit, from the rent, in any UK nation, and optionally check a deposit the user was asked for. England limits both; Wales limits the holding deposit; Scotland and Northern Ireland limit the tenancy deposit.
employment
get_employment_contract_review_link
Get the link to a full Contract Lily review of a UK employment contract, offer letter or written statement, and what it covers: whether employment reviews are open, the nations, what the report includes, the files it accepts and the price. Use it when the user wants their whole contract checked; it doesn't upload anything.
holiday
check_holiday_entitlement
Work out the statutory minimum paid holiday a year, in days, for a worker who works a set number of days a week, in any UK nation: 5.6 weeks, at most 28 days, which may include bank holidays.
minimum
check_minimum_wage
Check whether an hourly rate of pay meets the UK minimum wage for the worker’s age, and apprenticeship, on a date from 1 April 2024, and give the rate that applies.
northern
check_northern_ireland_rent_increase_notice
Check a landlord's rent increase notice, given from 1 April 2025, for a private tenancy in Northern Ireland other than a controlled tenancy (do not use it for a controlled tenancy, which has different rules): whether it is in writing, whether the new rent starts at least three months after the notice is given, and whether it comes at least 12 months after the tenancy began and the last increase; and when the new rent can start. Northern Ireland only; it does not judge whether the new rent is fair.
notice
check_notice_period
Work out the least notice that ends a periodic private tenancy, and the earliest end date it can name, in any UK nation, whether the tenant or the landlord gives it. It also says when a landlord cannot end the tenancy by notice at all (England) or must apply to a tribunal (Scotland).
rent
check_rent_increase_notice
Check a section 13 rent increase notice for an assured periodic tenancy in England, served from 1 May 2026: whether the new rent's start date meets each date rule and the notice is on the prescribed form, and the earliest the new rent could start. England only; it does not judge whether the new rent is fair.
scottish
check_scottish_rent_increase_notice
Check a landlord's rent-increase notice for a private residential tenancy in Scotland, outside a rent control area: whether it gives at least three months' notice, whether the rent has already gone up in the 12 months before, and whether it is on the prescribed form; when the new rent can start, and the last day to refer it to a rent officer. Scotland only; it does not judge whether the new rent is fair.
statutory
check_statutory_notice
Work out the least notice the law requires to end employment in any UK nation, from the employer and from the employee, from the start date and the day notice is given. A contract can require more notice, never less.
tenancy
get_tenancy_agreement_review_link
Get the link to a full Contract Lily review of a UK tenancy agreement, and what it covers: whether reviews are open, the nations, what the report includes, the files it accepts and the price. Use it when the user wants their whole agreement checked; it doesn't upload anything.
welsh
check_welsh_rent_increase_notice
Check a landlord's notice of a new rent for a periodic standard occupation contract in Wales: whether the new rent starts at least two months after the notice is given, whether it comes at least a year after the last increase, and whether it is on form RHW12; and the earliest the new rent can start. Wales only; it does not judge whether the new rent is fair.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Contract Lily 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 181 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Contract Lily?
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 Contract Lily need an API key?
No. Contract Lily completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Contract Lily?
It answers our handshake in 181 ms on average, which is faster than 75% 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.
