Integration

UK Parliament Bills integration

The UK Parliament's open data API for bills before Parliament, back to 2007. Search bills by title, session, house, sponsor, type or stage, read a bill with its sponsors and current stage, follow every stage and sitting, list and read the amendments tabled at a stage and the motions and amendments exchanged between the two Houses (ping-pong), and find bill publications (bill texts, amendment papers, explanatory notes) and download their files. The RSS feed routes are left out. No authentication: the API is free and open, with no key or registration.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs
