From the project's README

As published by busybusybussiness/uk-legislation-changes in README.md.

Point-in-time amendment history for UK law — a free API and MCP server.

Live: https://uk-legal-changes.pages.dev · Docs: /docs · MCP: /mcp

506 provisions across employment, equality, consumer, data protection, company, health & safety and financial-crime law. 1,548 tracked versions. Coverage 1992–2026.

Use it

  • REST — GET /api/provisions?q=unfair+dismissal, /api/changes?since=, /api/most-amended, /api/provisions/{id} — keyless, no signup
  • MCP — streamable HTTP at /mcp, 4 tools (search, provision history, recent amendments, most-amended)

How it works

  1. run_backfill.py ingests each provision's declared version boundaries from legislation.gov.uk's keyless XML API (polite serial rate, resumable)
  2. ingest.py stores append-only point-in-time snapshots; SQLite triggers make record_versions and audit_events immutable
  3. build_site.py renders the static site; dist/_worker.js serves API + MCP on Cloudflare Pages (advanced mode) at $0 cost

Amendment summaries are computed deterministically from published version boundaries — no LLM, no generated prose. Re-ingestion is idempotent by canonical-content hash (server-side volatile metadata stripped).
