`ukplanning_datasets`

Pack: uk-planning-data · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/uk-planning-data/mcp

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

List the datasets published on planning.data.gov.uk — the UK government’s national planning data platform (MHCLG). Each row gives the dataset slug you pass to the other tools, its plain-English name, typology, licence and the number of entities it holds. AUTHORITATIVE for “what UK planning designations can I look up” — conservation areas, listed buildings, article 4 directions, green belt, brownfield land, flood risk zones, tree preservation zones and ~70 more. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for the dataset slug; guessing a slug returns an empty set, not an error. Example: ukplanning_datasets({ query: “conservation” })

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	no	Optional case-insensitive substring matched against the dataset slug, name and description (filtered here, not upstream)
`typology`	string	no	Optional typology filter, e.g. “geography”, “category”, “organisation”, “document”
`headline_only`	boolean	no	Only return the ~17 designations most used for property and site due diligence (default false)

Example call

Arguments

  "query": "conservation"
