Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

nonprofit
nonprofit_get_filings
All Form 990 filings for a tax-exempt org by EIN: year-by-year revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, net assets, revenue breakdown, executive compensation, and source PDF links. Use for trend analysis, due diligence, and accessing primary 990 documents. The filing year (tax_prd_yr) is the fiscal year of the return — data lags 1–2 years; always cite the year. An organization that resolves but has filed no 990 returns an empty filings array with a notice, not an error. Also returns filings_pdf_only — older filings with a PDF but no extracted financial data. Data from ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, sourced from IRS Form 990 filings.
nonprofit_get_organization
Full profile for a single tax-exempt org by EIN: legal name, address, NTEE classification, 501(c) type, IRS ruling date, and a financial snapshot from the most recent Form 990 filing (revenue, expenses, assets, net assets, and the source PDF link). Also returns the IRS Business Master File standing — whether contributions are deductible, exemption status, and public-charity vs. private-foundation classification. Use nonprofit_search_organizations first if you only have an org name — this tool requires an EIN. Data lags 1–2 years; the tax year is shown prominently. Data from ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, sourced from IRS Form 990 filings.
nonprofit_search_organizations
Search 1.8M+ IRS-recognized tax-exempt organizations by name, keyword, city, or phrase. Optionally narrow by US state, NTEE major sector (1–10), or 501(c) subsection type. Returns EINs — pass them to nonprofit_get_organization or nonprofit_get_filings for details. Results are paginated at 25 per page; use the page parameter and num_pages to paginate. Total results cap at 10,000 in the API; if total_results === 10000 the actual count may be higher. A zero-match query and a page past the last one both return an empty organizations array with a notice rather than an error; only a page whose offset reaches that 10,000 cap is refused. Supports quoted phrases ("Red Cross"), required terms (+evanston), excluded terms (-dental). Data from ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer, sourced from IRS Form 990 filings.

Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server do?
It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: nonprofit_get_filings, nonprofit_get_organization, nonprofit_search_organizations. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 600 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server ever remove tools?
Yes. nonprofit_search is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server need an API key?
No. Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 600 ms on average, which is faster than 18% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/nonprofit-explorer-mcp-server was installed 229 times in the last week. Week over week that is -2%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Nonprofit Explorer MCP Server open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at nonprofit-explorer.caseyjhand.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
