UK Environmental Compliance MCP

UK environmental farming compliance via the Model Context Protocol. Query NVZ rules, spreading windows, SSAFO storage requirements, buffer strips, water abstraction licensing, pollution prevention guidance, and EIA screening thresholds -- all from your AI assistant.

Part of Ansvar Open Agriculture.

Why This Exists

Farmers need to comply with NVZ regulations, Farming Rules for Water, SSAFO storage standards, and EIA screening requirements. These rules are spread across multiple statutory instruments, DEFRA guidance documents, and Environment Agency publications. This MCP server makes them all queryable in one place.
