No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ukflood_areas for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

The named flood areas the Environment Agency issues warnings for — the geography behind a warning code. Each area has an fwdCode (e.g. “053FWFPUWI06”), a plain description of the land it covers, its county, EA operational area, the river or sea concerned, a centroid and a quick-dial number. Filter by county or search the description text. Use this to turn a warning code from ukflood_warnings into a place, or to find the code for a place before a flood happens.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`county`	string	no	County filter as the EA spells it, e.g. “Lincolnshire”.
`search`	string	no	Case-insensitive substring matched against the area label, description and river name, e.g. “Thames”.
`latitude`	number	no	Optional latitude for a radius search, e.g. 53.22.
`longitude`	number	no	Optional longitude for a radius search, e.g. -0.55.
`radius_km`	number	no	Radius in kilometres when latitude/longitude are given (default 15, max 100).
`limit`	number	no	Max areas to return (default 25, max 200).
