scotlis-mcp

An MCP server exposing ScotLIS (Registers of Scotland) property price search as a tool Claude can call directly.

Given a UK postcode, it returns every registered title at that address with its sale date, price (or non-monetary reason, e.g. a gift between family members), and a link to the property summary.

Only covers Scotland, and only titles on the Land Register — older properties still on the Sasine Register may show no price.

Use as a standalone CLI

python3 scotlis_prices.py "EH1 1RE"
python3 scotlis_prices.py "EH1 1RE" --sort price --desc
python3 scotlis_prices.py "EH1 1RE" --format csv > prices.csv
python3 scotlis_prices.py "EH1 1RE" --format json

Install as a Claude Desktop extension (one click, macOS only for now)

Download scotlis-mcp.mcpb from the latest release, then double-click it, or drag it into the Claude Desktop window, or use Settings > Extensions > Advanced settings > Install Extension….

This bundle embeds its own Python 3.13 runtime, so it works even if your Mac's system Python is older. It's currently built for macOS only — see Build the extension bundle to build one for another platform.

Use as an MCP server in Claude Desktop (manual config)

Requires uv.

git clone https://github.com/Dart120/scotlis-mcp.git
cd scotlis-mcp
uv sync

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scotlis-prices": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["--directory", "/absolute/path/to/scotlis-mcp", "run", "server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop, and Claude will be able to call search_property_prices for any UK postcode.

Build the extension bundle

uv sync
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/mcpb
cp -R .venv venv   # bundles a real, self-contained interpreter — not a symlink
mcpb pack . scotlis-mcp.mcpb
