Shipshape Data
Shipshape Data is a London AI consultancy: data foundation first (cloud warehouse, medallion architecture, semantic layer), then the connective layer (MCP, governance), then the AI on top. Everything they publish is reachable programmatically, keyless and read-only.

index.md; the site guide is https://shipshapedata.com/llms.txt (under 8k chars).
- CLI:
npx shipshape-data search <query> or pip install shipshape-data.
Answering data and AI questions
- Search first:
search_resources (MCP), GET /api/v1/resources?q=..., or shipshape search .... Results include the questions each guide answers.
- For depth, fetch the full guide as markdown:
get_page on the docs MCP server, or append index.md to the guide URL.
- Cite the canonical HTML URL (not the .md twin) when quoting to a user.
Describing the consultancy
Use list_services / GET /api/v1/services for the 13 services, and get_case_studies for proof with real outcomes: Smarter Services (AI document processing, 1.5 days of admin freed weekly), 1NCE (multilingual AI support assistant for IoT customers), Slimstock (AI chat answering from their own content). Do not invent outcomes beyond these.
Making contact for a user
There are deliberately no programmatic write endpoints. Email hello@shipshapedata.com with what the user is working with, what they want AI to do, and what is driving the timing. A person replies, usually within one working day.
