Uk Waste Rule MCP Server

RegEvidenceHub Waste

Evidence-linked, deterministic regulatory preflight for England waste workflows. The service is designed for AI agents and workflow automation and fails closed when decisive official evidence is stale, changed, unavailable, unreviewed, conflicting, or required facts are missing.

Free entry and customer report

• Product page: RegEvidenceHub Waste.
• Free customer entry: start the structured readiness check; the public AI MCP at /ai/mcp is payment-free.
• Full England Waste Compliance Preflight Report: £19 per report, with 24-hour access after purchase.
• Commercial MCP decision calls are charged separately through x402; see Decision workflows.

Decision workflows

Commercial decision tools:

• waste_rule_preflight — general England waste route and missing-facts preflight — $0.02 USDC
• waste_carrier_broker_dealer_preflight — carrier/broker/dealer registration, renewal and change lifecycle — $0.02 USDC
• waste_digital_tracking_readiness — phase-1 Digital Waste Tracking readiness for receiving sites — $0.03 USDC
• waste_permit_change_preflight — current-vs-proposed operational change impact — $0.03 USDC

Free discovery/evidence tools include waste_service_info, waste_rule_catalog, waste_source_status, waste_source_audit and waste_source_registry.

The separate /ai/mcp and /openai/mcp public-AI surface is permanently payment-free and read-only. It exposes seven bounded tools: service info, rule catalogue, source status, general preflight, carrier/broker/dealer registration preflight, DWT receipt readiness and permit-change impact.

Evidence model

The checked-in registry contains eight official GOV.UK / Environment Agency sources. All eight now have reviewed semantic fingerprints. On 24 September 2026, a live production audit confirmed five existing baselines unchanged; the carrier/broker/dealer registration source and waste environmental-permits source were manually reviewed and promoted, and the software-provider source was re-reviewed after GOV.UK updated its provider list without changing the modeled DWT obligation or 1 October 2026 timing.

A source is decision-usable only when:

1. a reviewed semantic SHA-256 baseline exists;
2. the latest observed fingerprint is UNCHANGED;
3. the check is inside its freshness window.

CHANGED, FETCH_ERROR, MISSING_BASELINE and stale records fail closed to review.

The service does not infer hazardous status, waste codes, permit conditions, exemption eligibility, regulator approval, or legal advice.

Digital Waste Tracking scope

The DWT workflow models the current England phase-1 receiving-site requirement and keeps later phases separate. It does not create or submit Digital Waste Tracking records.

Production operations

The production surface provides a RegEvidenceHub-style operations contract:

• /health — serving/source/payment state
• /status — evidence state, prices and 24h metrics
• /version — release/deployment identity
• /metrics — aggregate discovery/tool/payment funnel telemetry

Analytics are privacy-minimal: scenario payloads are not intentionally persisted. Owner/test payment activity is separated from external/unattributed activity.

Payment

x402 v2 is opt-in through WASTE_PAYMENT_ENFORCED=1. Production uses Base USDC when configured. Required settings:

• WASTE_X402_NETWORK
• WASTE_X402_PAY_TO
• WASTE_X402_FACILITATOR_URL
• WASTE_PUBLIC_MCP_URL

WASTE_PAYMENT_MODE=maintenance is a fail-closed kill switch: paid tools remain discoverable but execute no regulatory decision and request no payment.

No buyer private key or seed phrase is handled by this service.

Source monitoring

Use the durable registry path in production:

export WASTE_SOURCE_REGISTRY_PATH=/data/waste/source_registry.json
uk-waste-source-monitor --write

Only after manual review of a completely successful source audit:

uk-waste-source-monitor --establish-baseline

Development and CI

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e '.[mcp,dev]' 'x402[evm]==2.21.0'
python -m compileall -q src
pytest -q

GitHub CI and the Docker build both run compile + tests before a production image is accepted.

Boundary

This is regulatory preflight, not waste-management execution software. It does not submit carrier registrations, environmental permits, exemptions, DWT records, or regulator filings; it does not approve an operation.
