Shipshape Data agent tools

The official agent toolkit for Shipshape Data, the London AI consultancy that builds the data foundation first. Everything here wraps the same keyless, read-only surface: the public API, two MCP servers, and the site's markdown twins.

The surface it talks to

  • API: https://shipshapedata.com/api/v1 (self-describing; OpenAPI 3.1 spec)
  • MCP: https://shipshapedata.com/mcp (services, case studies, resource search, AI readiness scoring) and https://shipshapedata.com/mcp/docs (docs Q&A, full markdown of any page)
  • NLWeb: POST https://shipshapedata.com/ask
  • A2A: agent card
  • Guides: llms.txt | agents.md | developers

No auth anywhere, no write endpoints anywhere, fair use 300 requests/minute/IP.

Quick start

# MCP in Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http shipshape-data https://shipshapedata.com/mcp

# Skills
npx skills add shipshapedata/agent-tools

# CLI
npx shipshape-data readiness
pip install shipshape-data && shipshape search data lineage

Why this exists

We tell clients their AI is only as good as the data foundation underneath it, and that their products should be as easy for agents to use as for people. This repo is us doing it to ourselves. If you want your product to work like this, talk to us.
