Candid

ConnectionMCP

Research nonprofits and funders using Candid's data.

Install

Connections live under agent/connections/. Auth is brokered by Vercel Connect, so install the framework and the Connect SDK:

Quick start

Create agent/connections/candid.ts. The connection name is derived from the filename:

// agent/connections/candid.tsimport { connect } from "@vercel/connect/eve";import { defineMcpClientConnection } from "eve/connections";
export default defineMcpClientConnection({  url: "https://mcp.candid.org/mcp",  description: "Candid: research nonprofits, funders, and grants.",  auth: connect("candid"),});

// agent/connections/candid.tsimport { connect } from "@vercel/connect/eve";import { defineMcpClientConnection } from "eve/connections";
export default defineMcpClientConnection({  url: "https://mcp.candid.org/mcp",  description: "Candid: research nonprofits, funders, and grants.",  auth: connect("candid"),});

Connect owns the OAuth flow, and each end-user authorizes in their own browser before their first tool call.

Configure

Link your project, create the connector, and pull OIDC locally:

See the Connections docs for principal types, headers, approval, and protocol-specific filters.
