Perplexity

Pinpoint legislative details quickly.

Need a specific piece of law? Use the `get_legislation` tool to fetch precise details on any section. It returns the full text and context, so your agent doesn't have to guess. This is ideal when you need high accuracy for compliance checks. Instead of relying on broad searches, you call out exactly what you're looking for with `get_section`.

Search complex legal documents.

Instead of browsing through hundreds of files, the agent runs a targeted search using `search_legislation`. This tool pulls matching acts and statutory instruments across the whole database. Want to narrow it down? Run `search_by_subject` if you know the topic, or use `search_by_year` for historical context. The MCP Server handles the initial filtering so your agent gets clean results.

Build compliance workflows easily.

The `get_table_of_contents` tool lets you map out an entire act before diving into details. It gives a structured overview of what's covered in the legislation. Agents can also check for new rules immediately with `get_recent_legislation`. This makes it perfect for compliance agents that need to react fast when laws change.

Set up UK Legislation MCP in OpenAI Agents SDK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
openai-agents package (pip install openai-agents)

1

Install the SDK

Run pip install openai-agents to install the OpenAI Agents SDK. The MCP integration is built-in — no extra dependencies needed.

Call Runner.run(agent, prompt) to execute. The agent invokes the appropriate UK Legislation tools and returns structured results. Copy the full example on the right to get started.

agent.py

import asyncio
from agents import Agent, Runner
from agents.mcp import MCPServerSse

async def main():
    async with MCPServerSse(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ) as server:
        agent = Agent(
            name="UK Legislation Agent",
            instructions="You have access to UK Legislation tools.",
            mcp_servers=[server],
        )
        result = await Runner.run(agent, "List recent transactions")
        print(result.final_output)
