SocialHousing.ai
The first MCP service for UK housing

Connect your AI systems
to UK housing data

OpenHousing.AI is a centralised data service that any organisation can plug into. Connect your own AI systems, chatbots, copilots, or internal tools to official UK government housing data — in real time, through one standard interface.

What is MCP and why does it matter for housing?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to live data sources — securely and in real time. Think of it as giving your AI a library card to official government databases.

The Problem Today

Housing professionals spend hours searching gov.uk, downloading spreadsheets, and cross-referencing data from different sources. AI tools like ChatGPT can’t access this data — they can only work with what they were trained on, which may be out of date.

What MCP Changes

MCP gives AI assistants a secure, structured way to query official data sources directly. Instead of guessing, your AI reads the actual government data — EPCs, social housing stock figures, house prices — and gives you answers with full source attribution.

Why It’s Safe

All data comes from official government sources under open licences. The AI reads the data but cannot change it. Your queries are not stored. Every response includes the source, licence, and retrieval timestamp so you can verify.


How organisations and residents benefit

From board-level strategy to frontline service delivery, OpenHousing.AI helps everyone make faster, better-informed decisions.

Housing Associations

Instantly benchmark your stock against peers. Identify EPC compliance gaps across your portfolio. Analyse rent levels against local market data. Prepare board reports in minutes, not days.

Local Authorities

Build comprehensive housing profiles for your area. Track affordability trends. Monitor new supply against demand. Evidence-base your housing strategy and planning decisions with live data.

Government & Regulators

Access cross-sector data instantly for policy analysis. Monitor provider performance. Assess MEES compliance at national scale. Enable evidence-based regulation with current data.

Residents

Better data means better services. When your landlord can instantly identify energy efficiency issues, plan maintenance proactively, and benchmark rents fairly — residents get warmer, safer, more affordable homes.

Researchers & Academics

Query housing data programmatically for research. Combine EPC data with affordability metrics. Build reproducible analyses without manual data wrangling. Access the same data as government.

Technology Teams

Integrate housing data into your own AI products, internal copilots, or chatbots via a standard protocol. No custom APIs to learn — any MCP-compatible system connects out of the box.
