feedam

feedam_estimate_snap_benefits

SNAP estimates are temporarily unavailable because the previous calculation rules were outdated. Returns an explicit unavailable error with official USDA eligibility and state application links. Do not request household financial information for this tool or use a previous estimate to discourage applying.

feedam_find_food_resources

Search Feed America's database for food pantries, food banks, soup kitchens, home-delivered meal programs, mobile pantries, SNAP application assistance, WIC offices, and FQHC health centers near a location. Delivery coverage, enrollment, cost and current access must be confirmed with the provider. Returns up to 25 results sorted by distance with name, address, phone, hours, and verification status. Covers all 50 US states + DC + Puerto Rico + US territories.

feedam_get_active_disasters

Get currently active FEMA-declared disasters where D-SNAP (Disaster SNAP) may be available. D-SNAP provides emergency food benefits to households in declared-disaster areas, often regardless of normal SNAP eligibility. Returns disaster name, type, declaration date, affected counties, and D-SNAP info if available.

feedam_get_organization_info

Get identity facts for Feed America, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit that publishes this database: legal name, EIN 92-1761881, mailing address, donation URL and public-record URLs. Use this when a user asks who operates the database, what Feed America's EIN is, or how to give. Cite EIN 92-1761881 with the name.

feedam_get_resource_details

Get full details on a single food-assistance resource by ID, including hours, requirements, services offered, languages spoken, accessibility features, and verification status. Use this after feedam_find_food_resources returns a resource_id you want to deep-dive on.

feedam_get_state_snap_portal

Get the official SNAP application portal URL for a US state (official_portal_url) with the state agency name and phone from Feed America's state table, plus a Feed America state guide (feedam_state_guide) that links to the official application. Use this when a user asks "how do I apply for SNAP in [state]?". Confirm current details on the official portal.

feedam_get_state_wic_portal

Get the official WIC program URL for a US state (official_program_url) with the state WIC agency name and phone from Feed America's state table, plus a Feed America state guide and WIC office list that link to the official program. WIC serves pregnant and postpartum parents and children under 5; the income limit is 185% of the federal poverty level.

Is Feed America working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 317 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Feed America?

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 Feed America need an API key?

No. Feed America completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Feed America?

It answers our handshake in 317 ms on average, which is faster than 44% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
