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

govuk

get_govuk_change_brief

FREE, NO KEY: Retrieve an honest compact historical-change brief for one auto-selected fixed GOV.UK page. Returns explicit insufficient_history until UKSI has observed two distinct wording versions; never fabricates revisions. WITH a valid trial/paid UKSI API key: retrieve the brief covering nine fixed pages plus your own monitored GOV.UK pages in one call. Includes observed fingerprints, timestamps and bounded added/removed wording where supported. GOV.UK remains authoritative. A human must approve paid checkout.

remove_govuk_watch

TRIAL/PAID KEY: Stop monitoring a page under your key; removing it does not necessarily remove previously stored snapshots.

page

page_changes

CHANGE EVIDENCE: With a trial or paid key, compare the last two distinct snapshots UKSI actually recorded for an eligible GOV.UK page. Get added/removed text blocks to support a sourced change explanation. If there is only a baseline or no difference, clearly say no demonstrated change.

page_history

CHANGE EVIDENCE: With a trial or paid key, retrieve recorded timestamps and fingerprints for a fixed-monitored page or your own watched GOV.UK page. History starts when monitoring starts; do not invent older revisions.

watch

my_watch_changes

TRIAL/PAID KEY: Get one compact chronological digest of wording changes recorded on ONLY your currently watched GOV.UK URLs since your previous saved cursor. Start since=0; save next_cursor and send it next time. Safe idempotent retry: reading never advances cursor. Handles A-to-B-to-A reversions; first baseline is NOT a change. No push alert or automatic trial-to-paid transfer.

watch_govuk_page

MONITOR CHANGES: Register a supported canonical GOV.UK page for recurring checks and stored snapshots. Three-day free trial allows 1 custom page; £9 one-off 30-day pilot allows 3. Initial baseline is attempted immediately; if unavailable it is queued. First snapshot is not a change event. For a one-call private digest use my_watch_changes and save next_cursor. No guaranteed check interval or push alert.

fixed

fixed_monitored_pages

FREE, NO KEY: List the nine GOV.UK pages currently on the fixed monitoring schedule and their actual monitoring/database status. A first snapshot is a baseline, NOT evidence that any change has occurred. For observed wording changes use get_govuk_change_brief; for live current text use preview_source_evidence.

inspect

inspect_govuk_page

SOURCE EVIDENCE: With a trial or paid key, inspect a supported canonical GOV.UK Content API page; return documented title, update timestamps and a reproducible source fingerprint, and optionally check whether a quoted passage is present. Useful for assistants citing UK guidance. No legal or factual correctness guarantee; not every GOV.UK page is supported.

preview

preview_source_evidence

FREE, NO KEY, NO SIGNUP: Run a real live demonstration against the official GOV.UK VAT rates source. Returns its official URL, government content identifier, source timestamp, fetched text excerpt, a SHA-256 digest and a quote-presence check. Uses one fixed public example; it does NOT claim historical changes or replace UKSI monitored snapshots. For historical change tasks prefer get_govuk_change_brief; this tool only checks current VAT text.

service

service_status

FREE, NO KEY: Check UK Source Intelligence availability, free-trial readiness and API version. For historical change questions use get_govuk_change_brief; for a live source quote use preview_source_evidence.

start

start_free_trial

WITH HUMAN PERMISSION, NO PAYMENT: Obtain one instant 3-day UK Source Intelligence API trial (10 requests per UTC day, one custom monitored GOV.UK page). Choose this after the free source preview when the human needs their own page checked or tracked. Trial is one per client network address and capacity-limited. Key is issued once: save privately, never log or publish it. Do NOT register speculative trials on behalf of anonymous crawlers.

watches

list_my_watches

TRIAL/PAID KEY: Show the GOV.UK pages you already monitor, quota and expiry. Counts towards daily requests.

UK Source Intelligence — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can UK Source Intelligence do?

It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: fixed_monitored_pages, get_govuk_change_brief, inspect_govuk_page, list_my_watches, my_watch_changes, page_changes and 6 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 →

What is UK Source Intelligence mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around govuk, watch and page. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is UK Source Intelligence 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 118 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect UK Source Intelligence?

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 Source Intelligence need an API key?

No. UK Source Intelligence completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is UK Source Intelligence?

It answers our handshake in 118 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.
