search_note: No official or hosted MCP server exists for UK Power Networks. Searched the UKPN-DSO GitHub organisation
  (6 repos, none MCP), npm (no ukpn/ukpowernetworks package; the only Opendatasoft-adjacent MCP packages are third-party
  @pipeworx/mcp-* servers for French and Belgian Opendatasoft portals, not for UK Power Networks), and the portal's
  own pages. Probed 2026-07-27. The tool list below is DERIVED from the OpenAPI as a candidate design, not a server
  anyone can connect to today.
third_party_note: A third-party generic Opendatasoft MCP server (@pipeworx/mcp-opendatasoft) exists on npm. It is
  not published by UK Power Networks or by Opendatasoft and was not verified against this portal, so it is recorded
  as context only and is not treated as this provider's MCP surface.
server:
  name: uk-power-networks
  transport: http
  url: null
  auth: The backing API takes an apikey query parameter; a server implementing these tools would hold the key server-side
    and expose no credential to the agent.
design_notes:
- Every tool is read-only. All 16 backing operations are HTTP GETs, so every tool is safe to retry.
- 'discover_datasets then get_dataset then query_records is the mandatory sequence: field names are per-dataset
  and must be read from the dataset fields array before any ODSQL clause is composed, or the call fails with ODSQLError.'
- export_records is uncapped and should be preferred over paginating query_records past a few thousand rows.
- 99 of 136 datasets return HTTP 403 ForbiddenAccess without an API key, so a server without a key can only serve
  a third of the catalogue.
