What is the GlobalGiving MCP Server?

Connect your AI agent to the GlobalGiving global marketplace to automate nonprofit project discovery and charity research through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). GlobalGiving is the first and largest global crowdfunding community that connects nonprofits, donors, and companies in nearly every country. This MCP server enables you to search for grassroots projects by theme or country, retrieve detailed project summaries, and manage charity organization data directly through natural conversation.

Charity Oversight — Access detailed mission statements and profile information for vetted nonprofit organizations worldwide.
Crowdfunding Tracking — Retrieve real-time progress for project goals, including total amounts raised and remaining funding needed.
Thematic Exploration — Filter active projects by specific impact areas like disaster recovery, women's empowerment, or climate action.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get an API Key for GlobalGiving?

Go to the GlobalGiving API website (globalgiving.org/api/) and request a free API key by filling out their registration form.

Are all organizations on GlobalGiving vetted?

Yes, GlobalGiving performs rigorous due diligence on all nonprofit partners to ensure they are high-impact and transparent.

Can I search for projects using ISO country codes?

Yes! Use the 'list_projects_by_country' tool and provide a standard 2-letter ISO code (e.g., 'BR' for Brazil or 'US' for the USA).

What themes are available for filtering?

Common themes include 'edu' (education), 'env' (environment), 'health', 'disaster' (disaster recovery), and 'women' (women and girls).

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
