homebuyer-mcp

MCP server for the UK home-buying journey. Agents find and evaluate conveyancers and mortgage brokers using official regulatory data.

Why this exists

Buying a house in the UK means trusting professionals you found on Google. homebuyer-mcp lets AI agents query official regulatory registers so you can evaluate conveyancers and mortgage brokers on facts, not SEO.

It queries the SRA Solicitors Register, FCA Financial Services Register, and Companies House API in real-time, cross-references them, and returns enriched provider profiles with regulatory status, disciplinary history, and company health data.

Example

Ask your agent: _"Find me conveyancers near SE22"_

Important

homebuyer-mcp provides factual data only. No recommendations, no "best for you" rankings. It presents regulatory status, disciplinary history, and company health — the user decides. This is a regulatory requirement (FCA information vs advice boundary).
