Databutler tools (11, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscallwrite actionFreeRun any Data Butler tool by name — the long tail not listed here: exam_spec_lookup, exam_paper_index; exact statistics (distribution, hypothesis_test, confidence_interval, bayes_update, linear_regression, descriptive_stats); the vehicles hub (uk_mot_reliability, uk_recalls_for_model, uk_recalls_search, fr_recalls_for_model, fr_recalls_search, jp_recalls_for_model, jp_complaints_summary); software end-of-life (support_status {product, version}, support_timeline {product} for nodejs, python, ubuntu, debian, android, ios, macos, windows, oracle-jdk, go, ruby, php, postgresql, react); policy_rate (Bank of England Bank Rate, Fed federal funds target range, ECB key rates — committed data verified against the banks' own pages); us_rates_lookup (US federal rates and thresholds for the current tax year: income-tax, social-security, medicare, retirement, hsa, estate-gift); de_rates_lookup (German tax and social-insurance figures for the current Veranlagungszeitraum: income-tax, social-insurance, minimum-wage, minijob, kindergeld, kinderfreibetrag, sparer-pauschbetrag, arbeitnehmer-pauschbetrag, entfernungspauschale); uk_vehicle_rules_lookup (UK car tax: first-year CO2 bands, standard rate, expensive car supplement, 2001–2017 bands, pre-2001 rates, electric cars, historic vehicles; MOT due dates, fees, retests, penalties — verified against gov.uk); UK exam dates (uk_exam_dates {kind: results|timetable|deadlines|spec-changes, board?, qualification?}); calendar facts (calendar_facts {country, kind: holidays|tax-year|dst, year?, region?} and next_holiday {country, from?} — holidays for uk, us, de, fr; tax years and DST for uk, us, de, fr, au, in, ca, br, pl; 2026–2028); uk_gov_process (UK government services — passport and ETA fees, driving licence renewal, SORN, register to vote, birth/death registration, Self Assessment deadlines, NI number, Universal Credit, EU Settlement Scheme, eVisa — fees, processing times, start URLs, dated changes, verified against gov.uk). uk_rates_lookup, domain_provenance, package_provenance and take_home_pay are listed directly. See catalogue for schemas. The result carries the inner tool's freshness and cite.
catalogueFreeEvery tool across all Data Butler servers (UK rates; UK exams; provenance; exact statistics; vehicles: UK MOT, UK, French and Japanese recalls; take-home pay for ten countries; software support status and end-of-life timelines for 14 runtimes and operating systems; central-bank policy rates: Bank of England, Fed, ECB; US federal rates and thresholds (us_rates_lookup: income tax, Social Security, Medicare, retirement, HSA, estate and gift); German tax and social-insurance figures (de_rates_lookup: Einkommensteuertarif, Sozialversicherung, Mindestlohn, Minijob, Kindergeld, Kinderfreibetrag, Pauschbeträge, Entfernungspauschale); UK vehicle tax (VED) and MOT rules; UK exam dates and spec changes: results days, the summer 2027 timetable, entry deadlines, new specifications; calendar facts: public holidays, tax-year starts and daylight-saving switches for 2026–2028; UK government services: passport, driving licence, vehicle tax/SORN, voting, birth/death registration, Blue Badge, Self Assessment, NI number, Universal Credit, EU Settlement Scheme, eVisa, ETA), with input schemas — including tools not listed at this front door. Optional query filters by keyword. Run any of them with call, or connect to serverUrl directly.
coverageFreeExactly what Data Butler covers and does not, per area — call this before assuming something is unsupported. Areas: uk-rates, uk-exams, provenance, stats, vehicles, tax, software-eol, policy-rates, us-rates, de-rates, uk-vehicle-rules, uk-exam-dates, calendar, uk-gov-process (omit for all). Returns rate categories and tax years, boards/subjects, package ecosystems, stats operations, vehicle datasets, take-home-pay countries, the 14 software products with end-of-life data, central-bank policy rates (boe, fed, ecb), US federal rate categories and tax year, German rate categories and Veranlagungszeitraum, UK vehicle tax (VED) and MOT rule categories, UK exam dates (results, timetable, deadlines, spec-changes for jcq, aqa, pearson, ocr, wjec-eduqas; sqa results day), calendar facts: public holidays (uk, us, de, fr), tax years and daylight saving (uk, us, de, fr, au, in, ca, br, pl) for 2026–2028, UK government services (passports, DVLA, voting, registrations, Self Assessment, benefits, eVisa, ETA), and an explicit notCovered list.
domain_provenanceFreeWho runs this domain? Live RDAP lookup: registration date and age, registrar, nameservers, status, whether the registrant is redacted, plus a typosquat check (edit-distance / brand-substring) against high-value brands. A very recently registered domain resembling a bank or big brand is a classic phishing signal — but report it as a signal, not a conclusion.
exam_topic_paperFreeWhich exam paper is a topic on? The canonical student revision question ("is electricity paper 2 AQA?" — answer: no, Paper 1). Input a topic plus optional board/subject/level; returns the paper, sibling topics on that paper, spec code, and the official spec URL. Knows quirks like AQA Combined Science Trilogy Physics Paper 2 having no Space physics. Coverage: AQA GCSE Physics (8463); AQA GCSE Biology (8461); AQA GCSE Chemistry (8462); AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464); AQA GCSE Mathematics (8300).
get_factFreeThe current value of one official figure by key — a tax threshold, rate, allowance, fee, deadline, limit or policy rate — with the date it was verified, the official source URL, the period it applies to and a signature. Keys are `<country>/<topic>/<fact>`, e.g. `uk/income-tax/personal-allowance`, `uk/national-insurance/primary-threshold`, `us/social-security/wage-base`, `de/income-tax/grundfreibetrag`, `uk/bank-rate`, `eu/ecb/deposit-facility`, `uk/gov/passport-renewal-adult/fee-online-uk`. A loose key is resolved when unambiguous; otherwise the answer lists candidate keys. `max_age` (e.g. `30d`) marks the answer `stale` when the verification is older than that. Several keys separated by commas return a batch. Covers UK, US and German rates and thresholds, UK vehicle tax and MOT rules, UK government service fees, UK exam dates and central-bank policy rates; `coverage` lists the rest.
package_provenanceFreeWho publishes this package, and is it a typosquat? Live npm or PyPI lookup: first-publish date and age, release count, latest version, maintainers/author, linked repo, plus a typosquat check against popular package names. Use when an agent is about to install or recommend an unfamiliar dependency.
resolve_factFreeRanked canonical fact keys for a plain-language question or a guessed key — "NI primary threshold", "ECB deposit rate", "passport renewal fee" — each with label, unit, period and verification date, and the full record of the top match when it is unambiguous. The keys feed `get_fact`. Filter by `namespace` (`uk`, `us`, `de`, `eu`).
take_home_paywrite actionFreeNet salary after income tax and social contributions for an employee in one of ten countries (uk, us, ca, au, in, br, pl, fr, de, es), computed live by the LifeByNumbers salary calculators (same operator). Takes a gross salary in local currency (annual by default, or monthly with period) and a country code, plus optional state and filingStatus for the US, province for Canada, region (england|scotland) for the UK. Returns gross, net and total deductions (each annual and monthly), a line-by-line breakdown typed as tax / social / contribution / repayment, effectiveRate, the tax year the figures apply to, currency, the assumptions behind the estimate and the upstream calculator page as source. Spain (es) is listed but answers covered:false because lifebynumbers.net computes it client-side only.
uk_rates_lookupFreeCurrent UK (2026-27) rates and thresholds, verified against gov.uk with source URLs and verification dates. Categories: income-tax, national-insurance, minimum-wage, student-loans, vat, isa, state-pension, state-pension-age, stamp-duty, capital-gains, pensions, dividends, savings, marriage-allowance, statutory-sick-pay, statutory-parental-pay, child-benefit. Use whenever a user asks about UK income tax, National Insurance, minimum wage, student loans, VAT, ISAs, pensions, stamp duty, capital gains, dividends, savings, the State Pension or State Pension age, statutory sick/maternity/paternity pay or Child Benefit — models reliably misremember these numbers.
what_changed_sinceFreeWhat has changed in Data Butler's verified datasets since a date — pass your training-cutoff date to learn which UK tax/NI/benefit thresholds, exam-spec facts, official vehicle datasets (UK DVSA, French RappelConso and Japanese MLIT recalls), software end-of-life dates (Node.js, Python, Ubuntu, Debian, Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Java, Go, Ruby, PHP, PostgreSQL, React — cycles that reached end of life or whose dates moved), central-bank policy rates (Bank of England, Fed, ECB), US federal tax thresholds (IRS inflation adjustments, Social Security wage base, retirement and HSA limits), German tax and social-insurance thresholds (Grundfreibetrag, Beitragsbemessungsgrenzen, Zusatzbeitrag, Mindestlohn, Kindergeld), UK vehicle tax (VED) rates and MOT rules, UK exam dates (results days, summer timetable paper dates, entry deadlines and late-fee dates, announced specification changes), calendar facts (public holidays for the UK, US, Germany and France; tax-year and daylight-saving rules for nine countries — new years published, holidays added or moved) and UK government service fees and rules (passports, ETA, Universal Credit, eVisa) changed after your knowledge ends. Each entry: from → to, effectiveFrom, official source, verifiedDate, and a maintainer note (e.g. which Budget). Areas: uk-rates, uk-exams, vehicles, software-eol, policy-rates, us-rates, de-rates, uk-vehicle-rules, uk-exam-dates, calendar, uk-gov-process, or all. Coverage starts 2026-08-31. The same changelog is published for humans at https://databutler.dev/changes, with feeds at https://databutler.dev/changes.rss and https://databutler.dev/changes.atom. Output is a Verified Changes protocol document (verified-changes/0.1, spec https://databutler.dev/protocol); an entry whose figure is a Verified Fact carries factKey for get_fact.

Data Butler (databutler.dev)
An agent honeypot: clean, verified UK public data served to AI agents via MCP and REST. Not an SEO play — no GSC ambitions. The customer is an AI assistant answering a human's question; the product is being the source that is right, with provenance on every number.

The model (one brand, many focused servers)
There is no domain authority in MCP registries — discovery is per-listing. So this is NOT one mega-server (tool-list bloat kills those); it is one domain/repo/brand hosting separate, focused MCP endpoints, each listed individually under one namespace, cross-referencing each other:
Front door (2026-09): POST /api/mcp lists the five high-frequency tools directly plus whatchangedsince, coverage, catalogue, call. It is still not a mega-server — everything else stays behind call, capped at 9 listed tools by test. The focused servers remain live and listed.
