MCP support

Exposes seven UK rail freight compliance tools to MCP clients, covering licences, interoperability, safety certificates, dangerous goods, inspection preparation and Network Rail capacity access.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

meok-rail-freight-uk-mcp

UK rail freight compliance — ORR licensing, ROGS safety certificate, Railway Interoperability Regulations 2011, TSI LOC&PAS / WAG, RID dangerous goods, ORR 14 Major Issues inspection prep, Network Rail capacity access. By MEOK AI Labs.

Why this exists

UK rail freight's single biggest £ exposure is ORR enforcement (Office of Rail and Road) plus Network Rail capacity denial. ORR powers include:

  • Improvement notices + prohibition notices (ROGS 2006 / HSWA 1974)
  • Safety certificate + authorisation revocation
  • Unlimited fines (Health & Safety at Work Act 1974)
  • Director disqualification
  • Operating-without-licence is a criminal offence under Railways Act 1993

Target operators: Freightliner, GB Railfreight (GBRf), DB Cargo UK, Direct Rail Services (DRS), Colas Rail, Victa Westlink Rail, Mendip Rail, plus new Open-Access entrants. Network Rail is the upstream infrastructure manager. ORR is the regulator.

This MCP extends MEOK's haulage suite from road into rail. It gives Safety Managers, Verification engineers, RAIB liaison officers and capacity planners the callable toolkit to stay licensed and keep paths.

Pricing

  • Free — MIT self-host
  • Starter — £149/mo
  • Pro — £399/mo (multi-operator)
  • Fleet — £1,999/mo (FOC-scale + capacity planner integration)

Rail = premium niche. Six operators carry ~95% of UK rail freight, each a multi-million-£ business with bet-the-company regulatory exposure. One avoided ORR enforcement notice + one preserved Network Rail timetable slot easily covers the year.

Regulatory basis

  • Railways Act 1993 — ORR licensing powers
  • Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations 2006 (ROGS) — safety certificate, SMS
  • Railway Interoperability Regulations 2011 (RIR 2011) — TSI conformity (retained EU 2016/797)
  • TSI LOC&PAS — Locomotives & Passenger rolling stock
  • TSI WAG — Freight Wagons
  • TSI CCS — Control, Command & Signalling
  • COTIF / CIM — Convention concerning International Carriage by Rail
  • RID — Regulations concerning International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail
  • CSM-RA (EU 402/2013 retained) — Common Safety Method on Risk Evaluation

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
