Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "giveready": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["giveready-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You can now ask Claude about nonprofits, causes, and donations naturally.

Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "giveready": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["giveready-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT (via MCP bridge)

If you’re using an MCP-to-ChatGPT bridge, add GiveReady as a server:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["giveready-mcp"]
}

n8n / LangChain / CrewAI

For agent framework integrations, use the REST API directly:

import requests

# Search nonprofits
response = requests.get("https://giveready.org/api/search", params={
    "cause": "surf-therapy",
    "country": "United Kingdom"
})
nonprofits = response.json()["results"]

Verifying the Connection

Once connected, test with a simple query:

"How many nonprofits are on GiveReady?"
"Find youth charities that use surf therapy"
"Tell me about Bridges for Music"

The agent should use the search_nonprofits or get_nonprofit tools and return structured data from the GiveReady directory.
