UK Companies House + Claude
Search and inspect the official UK companies register: company profiles, directors and secretaries, filing history. Free public API with a 600 requests / 5 minutes rate limit. The UK equivalent of the German Handelsregister.
Prerequisiti
Le istruzioni di setup complete sono incluse nel connettore stesso (visibili nello store quando lo selezioni). Le variabili d'ambiente richieste sono:
COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY
Step 1 — Ottieni le credenziali
Getting an API key: register a free account at https://developer.company-information.service.gov.uk → 'Manage applications' → 'Create an application' (pick Live or Test) → 'Create new key' → REST. Copy the generated key into COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY.
Authentication quirk: Companies House uses HTTP Basic Auth where the API key is the username and the password is empty (the canonical curl shape is -u API_KEY:). This adapter mirrors that — leave the password configuration empty.
Company numbers: always 8 characters, zero-padded (e.g. 00006400 not 6400). The search endpoint returns matches with the canonical number you can feed into the other tools.
…(continued in the in-app connector instructions)
Step 2 — Installa l'adapter
git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d
