One UK MCP server, twelve intelligence layers
Teams searching for a UK MCP server usually need more than the company register. DataGardener MCP is a remote MCP server for UK business data that joins 12 layers on company registration number, so one connection answers questions that would otherwise span several databases:
- Company Intelligence. Core profile of every UK registered company: identity, status, SIC codes, addresses, incorporation and filing history, group membership.
- Financial Intelligence. Filed accounts across multiple years: turnover, profit, balance sheet, cash, employees, growth and derived ratios, drawn from statutory filings and UK GAAP tagged accounts.
- People and Directors. Current and resigned officers, appointments across companies, director networks and recent changes.
- Ownership. Persons with significant control, shareholdings, corporate group structures, parents and ultimate parents, and investor relationships.
- Risk. Signals that a company's position is changing: charges, CCJs where available, late filings, status changes, insolvency events, and DataGardener risk indicators.
- Lending. Registered charges, lender relationships, charge dates and satisfactions, funding events and refinancing windows derived from charge history and financial change.
- Procurement. UK public-sector contract notices and awards: buyers, suppliers, values, CPV codes, regions, status and SME suitability.
- Public Spend. Published payment data from UK councils, combined authorities, NHS bodies and government departments, resolved to suppliers.
- Property and Land. Company-owned titles from HM Land Registry's corporate ownership data, plus price-paid transactions for market context.
- Contacts. Business contact details for decision-makers where available and permitted, including email, phone and professional profile links, for entitled customers.
- Local and Regional Economy. Business population, sector mix, growth, incorporations and procurement activity aggregated by region, county, local authority, constituency or postcode district.
- International Trade. UK importers and exporters, trading partners and global firmographics for companies with an international footprint.
Each layer is entitled per customer and queried by the agent only when the question needs it. The full detail, with sample fields and tools, is on the intelligence layers page, and the underlying registers and public datasets are described under data sources.
What an agent can do with it
- Screen the whole UK company population on financial conditions parsed from filed accounts, not one lookup at a time.
- Connect a company to its public contracts, published council and NHS payments, registered charges and property titles.
- Answer who runs and who ultimately owns a company, and what changed recently.
- Return the evidence: source, source date, module and company number with the records.
Worked examples, with the tool calls an agent makes and the structured results it receives, are in the developer examples.
Companies House data, and what the register cannot answer
The register is one source, not the whole answer. Companies House tells you a company exists, who its officers are and what it has filed. It does not return financial figures as structured fields, join contracts or spend to the company, or search across the population by financial condition. The comparison guide, Companies House MCP vs DataGardener MCP, sets out exactly where a free register wrapper stops and when an agent needs more.
