Foundation Discovery
- Kindora-PBC/kindora
Foundation Discovery is a MCP server that surfaces US foundation and IRS 990 grant intelligence for nonprofit product scoping.
About
Foundation Discovery is a remote MCP server from Kindora PBC that brings US nonprofit funding intelligence into agent workflows. developers validating grant-matching apps, donor-research assistants, or internal tools for small nonprofits can search and reason over a large funder corpus—described as 174K+ US funders with IRS 990 data—without manually stitching spreadsheets and PDFs. Connect via streamable HTTP in Claude Code, Cursor, or similar clients, then let the agent narrow foundations, compare giving patterns, and support scope decisions before you prototype dashboards or CRM features. It is intermediate complexity because you must configure remote MCP access and frame nonprofit compliance context responsibly. Best when your product thesis depends on real funder coverage; skip it for purely commercial B2B SaaS with no philanthropy angle. Version 0.1.0 signals an early but data-rich integration path for research.
