Check a parking ticket from inside your AI assistant

Almost Legal runs a free Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so AI assistants that support MCP — Claude (web, desktop, mobile and Claude Code), Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity and others — can check a parking ticket for you mid-conversation: what grounds exist to challenge it, how strong they are, and how long you have left.

Add the connector

Point your assistant’s custom connector / MCP settings at:

No account, no API key — the checker is free, exactly as it is on our sites. Transport is streamable HTTP.

What it can do

• check_ticket — free check of a UK parking, bus lane, ULEZ or congestion penalty from a photo of the notice and/or typed details: appeal grounds found, an honest STRONG / MODERATE / WEAK assessment, and the indicative deadlines.
• list_appeal_grounds — the plain-English checklist of circumstances that commonly ground a successful appeal, so your assistant asks the right questions.
• get_deadlines — deterministic 14-day discount and 28-day challenge deadline calculator (no AI involved — just arithmetic).
• get_appeal_letter — the bespoke appeal letter itself is the paid product (£4.99 one-off) on our brand sites; this tool returns the link.

Try prompts like

• “I just got a parking ticket — here’s a photo. Is it worth fighting?”
• “Check this PCN from Lambeth Council: reference LB12345678, issued 28 June, £130.”
• “How long do I have left to appeal a ticket issued on 25 June?”

The honest print

Almost Legal is self-help drafting software, not a law firm, and nothing the connector returns is legal advice. Assessments are AI-generated from the information you provide; the deadline figures are indicative and the dates printed on your notice always take precedence. You review and send anything you decide to submit — you stay in control throughout. The free check is rate-limited per network per day. See our privacy policy and terms; questions to our contact page.
