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

area

area_rankings

Postcode districts in England and Wales ranked by published street-crime records, anti-social behaviour included, per 1,000 Census 2021 residents. Each row has the rate, the counts behind it, and its page_url. These are published rates, not safety ratings.

area_summary

Published street-crime figures for a UK postcode district. Given a postcode, answers for its whole postcode district (E8 for E8 1AA), never for the exact postcode. Returns the district's last 12 published months: total, monthly series, categories, and the covering police force, with page_url, a citation, and the attribution. For a full postcode that is not known to be outside England and Wales, the result also has free_report_url, the free result page for the 0.5 km around it.

methodology

methodology

Notes on how CrimeMapsUK builds its figures: coverage, approximate locations, postcode assignment, rates, rankings, outcomes, and how to cite a page, with the methodology page_url.

postcode

postcode_summary

Published street-crime records in the fixed 0.5 km circle around a postcode, over the 12 months up to the latest published month: the total, the month window, the coverage state, and the largest category, with page_url, a citation, and free_report_url. Called with a CrimeMapsUK API key, it returns every category's count. The free figures come from a snapshot up to six hours old and keyed ones from one up to 15 minutes old, so they can differ briefly after new data is published.

CrimeMapsUK — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CrimeMapsUK do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: area_rankings, area_summary, methodology, postcode_summary. 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 CrimeMapsUK 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 127 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect CrimeMapsUK?

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 CrimeMapsUK need an API key?

No. CrimeMapsUK completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is CrimeMapsUK?

It answers our handshake in 127 ms on average, which is faster than 87% 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.
