Hermes — Air Quality Intelligence is an MCP server with 15 tools an agent can call, among them assess_location_aq, chart_aq_trend, compare_locations. It answers at https://hermes.southlondonscientific.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 10 September 2026; the last check, on 19 October 2026, succeeded.
UK air quality MCP: live readings, historical trends, LAQM stats, WHO checks, knowledge base.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
assess_location_aq | Comprehensive air quality assessment for a location in one call. Combines nearby monitor discovery and current readings with DAQI into a single response. Use this as the first tool call for any air quality question about a location. For lon Inputs: location, purpose |
chart_aq_trend | Generate a time series chart of air quality data. Returns a PNG chart image with a brief text summary. Use this when users ask about trends, patterns, or want to visualise air quality over time. Args: start_date: Start date (ISO format, e.g Inputs: start_date, end_date, location, site_code, pollutants, frequency |
compare_locations | Compare current air quality across multiple locations side-by-side. Returns a ranked comparison by pollutant with DAQI bands and distance to nearest monitor. Useful for comparing development sites, school locations, or residential options. Inputs: locations, pollutants |
get_aqi_summary | Get an AQI assessment with health advice and WHO compliance check. Returns a 'summary' with a plain-English health assessment, advice for general and at-risk populations, and WHO guideline context. Present the summary to users first. Also r Inputs: location, index, period |
get_current_aq | Get the most recent air quality readings near a location, with health context. Returns a 'summary' with a plain-English health assessment and advice for general and at-risk populations. Present the summary to users first. Also returns indiv Inputs: location, radius_km, pollutants, sources |
get_historical_aq | Get historical air quality data for a site or location, with health context. Returns a 'narrative' with plain-English interpretation of trends, WHO guideline exceedances, and guideline comparisons. Present the narrative to users first. Also Inputs: start_date, end_date, location, site_code, pollutants, frequency |
kb_get_guidelines | Get current air quality guideline and target values. Args: framework: "WHO", "UK", "EU", or "all" (default). pollutant: Optional filter for a specific pollutant. Returns the full guidelines document (markdown). Inputs: framework, pollutant |
kb_get_health_effects | Get health evidence summaries for a pollutant and population group. Args: pollutant: "NO2", "PM2.5", "PM10", or "O3". population_group: "general", "children", "elderly", "respiratory", "cardiovascular", or "pregnant" (default "general"). Re Inputs: pollutant, population_group |
kb_get_local_context | Get area-specific contextual information. Args: area: "southwark", "london", or a specific neighbourhood. Returns local context document (markdown). Inputs: area |
kb_get_monitoring_explainer | Get plain-language explanations of monitoring methods and limitations. Args: topic: One of "how_monitors_work", "regulatory_vs_lowcost", "what_readings_mean", "why_numbers_differ", "representativeness", "data_quality", "what_monitors_measur Inputs: topic |
kb_get_practical_advice | Generic protective-action guidance for a category of situation (NOT keyed to an individual user's context). For *personalised* advice that takes the user's specific health situation into account (asthma, pregnancy, gas cooker, tube commute, Inputs: situation |
list_monitors | List air quality monitoring sites near a location, with context. Returns a 'summary' explaining how many monitors were found, their operational status, and what each monitor type represents. Present the summary to users first. Also returns Inputs: location, radius_km, sources |
regulatory_stats | Get LAQM Annual Status Report-style statistics for a location. Returns annual means, percentiles, exceedance counts, data capture percentages, and compliance assessment against UK legal limits and WHO guidelines. Args: location: Postcode, p Inputs: location, year, pollutants |
time_patterns | Analyse when pollution is highest — hour of day, day of week, and month. Returns temporal profiles showing typical patterns. Useful for advising on best times for outdoor exercise, school runs, or commuting. Args: location: Postcode, place Inputs: location, pollutant, period |
trend_analysis | Analyse the long-term trend in a pollutant near a location. Uses Theil-Sen slope estimation with Mann-Kendall significance testing to determine whether air quality is improving, worsening, or stable. Robust to outliers and missing data. Ret Inputs: location, pollutant, years |

It answered our last check on 19 October 2026 in 103 ms. Over 6 checks since 10 September 2026 it answered 6. Status here comes from Neuronto's own probes, not from the publisher.
Yes. It is published by southlondonscientific.com and served from hermes.southlondonscientific.com, the vendor's own domain: https://hermes.southlondonscientific.com/mcp.

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://hermes.southlondonscientific.com/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
