What problem does it solve?
Building humanitarian or crisis-adjacent products without ReliefWeb in the loop means slow manual browsing and fragile one-off API scripts in every research spike.
Who is it for?
Solo builders researching NGO, disaster response, or global development product ideas who already have ReliefWeb API app approval.
Skip if: Generic competitive SaaS research with no humanitarian angle, or anyone unwilling to obtain RELIEFWEB_APP_NAME before calling the API.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Once registered with a valid app name, your agent can query ReliefWeb categories through MCP and ground specs and prototypes in real humanitarian source material.
- Agent-callable ReliefWeb search across reports, disasters, jobs, training, and countries
- Optional hosted MCP remote without running the server locally

Journey fit
ReliefWeb sits earliest on the journey as external research before you commit scope—canonical shelf is Idea, not full Build. Research matches querying authoritative humanitarian datasets, disasters, and country profiles rather than shipping code.
How it compares
ReliefWeb-specific data MCP, not a general news or SEO research skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is ReliefWeb MCP Server for?
It is for developers and solo founders using AI agents to research humanitarian crises, country contexts, and ReliefWeb-published jobs and training when scoping products.
When should I use ReliefWeb MCP Server?
Use it during idea and discovery when you need ReliefWeb reports, disaster entries, or country profiles inside Claude Code or Cursor instead of copying data by hand.
How do I add ReliefWeb MCP Server to my agent?
Obtain a pre-approved RELIEFWEB_APP_NAME, add @cyanheads/reliefweb-mcp-server to MCP config with that env var set, then use stdio start:stdio locally or the streamable-http remote URL from server.json.
