Charity Registry missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 4

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

charities
search_charities
Search the charity registry by free-text name. Returns up to `limit` matches, each with slug, name, country, city/state, foundation_type, integrity_score, and the canonical page URL. Use this BEFORE resources/read when the user names a charity but you don't know its slug. The match is case-insensitive substring on the charity's name.
compare
compare_charities
Side-by-side comparison of 2-5 charities by slug. Returns their integrity scores, program/admin/fundraising ratios, annual revenue, founding year, foundation type, and a deterministic verdict on which has the strongest transparency signal. Use this when the user wants to choose between named charities.
similar
find_similar
Given one charity's slug, return up to `limit` other charities in the same country + category. Useful for 'find more like this' recommendations. Excludes the input charity from the result.
verify
verify_charity
Look up a charity by its official registry identifier - EIN (US), Charity Commission number (GB), RSIN (NL), AHU/Kemenkumham reg number (ID), or a generic registration_number for other countries. Returns the matched charity or null. Use this when the user provides a registry number and wants to confirm what's registered under it.

Charity Registry — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Charity Registry do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_charities, find_similar, search_charities, verify_charity. 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 Charity Registry 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 145 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Charity Registry?
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 Charity Registry need an API key?
No. Charity Registry completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Charity Registry?
It answers our handshake in 145 ms on average, which is faster than 84% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Charity Registry open source?
We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
