Point Topic MCP — Public Connector Docs

Overview

Now listed in the Claude Connectors Directory — connect with one click from Claude, Claude Desktop and mobile.

This endpoint exposes only the public reference tables of the Point Topic broadband ontology (the visitor view): the entity graph of ISPs, network operators, networks, links, link standards and their relationships. It is read-only and requires no account. Licensed measurement data (footprints, premises, speeds, tariffs, forecasts, take-up, subscriber counts) is not queryable here — see Licensing below.

Quickstart

Add this URL to any MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, …) as a remote MCP server:

https://mcp.point-topic.com/public

No authentication, no API key, no setup.

What you can query

Start with the discovery commands:

SHOW TABLES FROM ontology
DESCRIBE TABLE <table_name>

The public view contains 19 reference tables:

Family	Tables
Organisations	`foaf_organization`, `cto_organization_type`, `cto_is_organization_type`, `cto_is_retail_only`, `cto_is_wholesale_only`, `cto_is_business_only`, `cto_is_consolidated`
Networks	`cto_network`, `cto_network_type`, `cto_owns_network`
Links	`cto_link`, `cto_link_standard`, `cto_uses_link`, `cto_uses_link_standard`, `cto_supports_link_standard`
Wholesale / platforms	`cto_uses_network`, `cto_operates_platform`, `cto_platform_network_access`, `cto_wholesale_access_platform`

Example queries

Who owns CityFibre's networks and who rides them:

SELECT NETWORK_NAME, VALID_FROM FROM cto_network
WHERE NETWORK_NAME LIKE '%CityFibre%' AND VALID_TO IS NULL;

SELECT ISP_NAME, COUNT(*) AS networks FROM cto_uses_network
WHERE NETWORK_NAME LIKE '%CityFibre%' GROUP BY ISP_NAME ORDER BY networks DESC;

Which networks does Sky use, and is it retail-only:

SELECT NETWORK_NAME, VALID_FROM FROM cto_uses_network WHERE ISP_NAME = 'Sky';
SELECT * FROM cto_is_retail_only WHERE ISP_NAME = 'Sky';

UK market structure — ISPs vs operators (org types and country live in different tables, so join them):

SELECT org.COUNTRY,
       countIf(t.ORGANIZATION_TYPE_NAME = 'ISP') AS isps,
       countIf(t.ORGANIZATION_TYPE_NAME = 'Network Operator') AS operators
FROM cto_is_organization_type AS t
JOIN foaf_organization AS org ON org.ORGANIZATION_NAME = t.ORGANIZATION_NAME
WHERE org.COUNTRY = 'United Kingdom' AND t.VALID_TO IS NULL
GROUP BY org.COUNTRY;

Link standards in use and by which networks:

SELECT LINK_STANDARD_NAME, COUNT(*) AS networks FROM cto_uses_link_standard
GROUP BY LINK_STANDARD_NAME ORDER BY networks DESC LIMIT 10;

Recent UK consolidations:

SELECT * FROM cto_is_consolidated
WHERE COUNTRY = 'United Kingdom' AND COMPLETED_AT >= '2025-01-01';

Tips

The view is global. Filter COUNTRY = 'United Kingdom' for UK data.
Current rows only: use VALID_TO IS NULL (the model is temporal).
Columns are UPPERCASE. Run DESCRIBE TABLE <t> to learn them.
Networks are often per-ISP (CityFibre Sky FTTP): use LIKE '%CityFibre%', not = 'CityFibre'.
Flag tables differ: key column is ISP_NAME or NETWORK_OPERATOR_NAME per table; in cto_is_consolidated flags are '1.0'/'0.0' strings.
Always LIMIT — results are truncated at ~50k tokens (a leading NOTE explains); keep queries tight.

Licensing

The reference data here is free. Licensed measurement data — network footprints, premises counts, speeds, tariffs, coverage forecasts, take-up and subscriber statistics — is available under a Point Topic licence. Denied queries return a message with contact details.
