Candid MCP

Candid MCP gives your agent nonprofit, funder and funding data during live calls.

Connect Candid MCP to AgentCalls and your agent can research nonprofit organizations, funders, funding opportunities and social-sector news while it talks with a caller. Callers who ask about a grant, a foundation or a nonprofit get an answer from Candid data in the same conversation. Your agent can also pull a short profile for a follow-up. Connect Candid MCP with your own credentials from the Candid settings, then turn it on in the AgentCalls dashboard. Integrations are included from the Growth plan.

Hi, I run a small literacy nonprofit in Ohio. Do you know any foundations that fund adult reading programs?

Yes. I can check Candid for foundations that fund adult literacy in Ohio. Give me a moment.

I found three funders with recent grants in that area. The largest gave about 250,000 dollars last year. Would you like me to email the list to you?

Yes, please send it to maria@hopeforreaders.org.

Done. The list is on its way to maria@hopeforreaders.org.
