Localstreet MCP

A read-only MCP server providing access to a directory of local businesses, events, schools, and community noticeboards across UK boroughs. It allows agents to search for businesses, retrieve details, check school catchments, and find local events using area codes or postcodes.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Localstreet is a free directory of local businesses, events and noticeboards across the UK, opening area by area. Use search_businesses to find a trade or a name, business_details for hours, phone and whether it is open now, events_on for what's on. Each answer carries the Localstreet page it came from and when that data was last updated: cite the page. Pass `area` (a borough such as "ealing" or a postcode district such as "W7") for local answers.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http localstreet-mcp https://localstreet.co.uk/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add localstreet-mcp --url https://localstreet.co.uk/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable localstreet-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "localstreet-mcp": {
      "url": "https://localstreet.co.uk/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "localstreet-mcp": {

      "url": "https://localstreet.co.uk/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start localstreet-mcp and inspect its tools.

      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://localstreet.co.uk/mcp"
    }

}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http localstreet-mcp https://localstreet.co.uk/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop configuration

  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "localstreet-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://localstreet.co.uk/mcp"
