Security Report

8.2
Low Risk8.2Low Risk

This is a minimal MCP server wrapper for the Companies House API that delegates to a remote Pipeworx gateway. The codebase is extremely small with no source implementation files provided, only a README and package.json. The server requires caller-supplied API credentials ("BYO key") and has appropriate dependency footprint. No security vulnerabilities detected in the analyzed files.

  • get_officers(company_number, items_per_page?, start_index?, register_type?)

Data source

https://api.company-information.service.gov.uk — HTTP Basic auth (key as username, empty password).

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "companies-house": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/companies-house/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Companies House data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
