Integration

UK Parliament Members integration

The UK Parliament's open data API for Members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Search current and former MPs and peers by name, postcode, constituency, party or post; read a member's profile, career, contact details, registered interests, votes, written questions, early day motions and debate contributions; and look up constituencies with their election results and boundaries, party seat counts, government and opposition posts, and reference lists. Member records are personal data about public office holders as Parliament publishes them, and the staff registers name members' staff. The department logo route is left out (it answered 404 for every department). No authentication: the API is free and open, with no key or registration.

Connect UK Parliament Members How integrations work

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in UK Parliament Members.Built from the 42 UK Parliament Members tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with UK Parliament Members

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Each badge shows the default agent permission of an endpoint (allowed: an agent calls it without asking; ask first: you are asked before an agent calls it, when the agent or chat asks permission for sensitive actions; never: no agent may call it), which every user can change endpoint by endpoint in their credential settings.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use UK Parliament Members from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect UK Parliament Members in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its UK Parliament Members operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

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
