Ons Uk

pipeworx-io/mcp-ons-uk

Connects Claude to the UK Office for National Statistics Beta JSON API with five core operations: list datasets, pull metadata for a specific dataset, browse editions, fetch the latest observation data files, and query time series by ONS URI. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, so you can either use it standalone or access it alongside 673+ other data sources through their unified endpoint. Includes an ask_pipeworx wrapper that handles natural language queries instead of direct tool calls. Reach for this when you need UK economic indicators, census data, or demographic statistics without manual API wrangling.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ons-uk": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ons-uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Ons Uk data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
