What can you do with Ons Uk?

mcp-ons-uk

ONS UK MCP.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.

Tool	Description
`datasets`	List publicly available datasets.
`dataset`	Single dataset metadata.
`editions`	Editions of a dataset.
`latest_observations`	Latest observation data file metadata.
`series`	Time series by ONS uri.

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"
    }
  }
}

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.
