hangel — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
A remote MCP server querying Turkish non-profits, volunteer postings, active grants, and cause-linked store products. Free to use without API keys.
claude mcp add --transport http hangel https://hangel.org/api/mcpWhat hangel does
The server connects your coding agent to public listings on the hangel social impact platform. It exposes ten read-only tools, including search, fetch, search_ngos, list_volunteering, and list_open_funds. You can filter civil society organisations by city or inspect their transparency ratings right inside your chat session.
It runs over stateless HTTP at https://hangel.org/api/mcp. No authentication token is required. Incoming calls face per-IP rate limits, and the backend strictly filters out private data like phone numbers, email addresses, and meeting links.
The platform does not process direct cash donations. Instead, shopping via hangel Market routes a set portion of each purchase to partner charities, which the tools can look up directly.
What it helps with
- locate non-profits across Turkiye by city and transparency score
- track active grant deadlines for civil society projects
- filter remote volunteer tasks by required skill sets
- check donation percentages on hangel Market store products
Example prompts for the agent
- Find animal rescue organisations in Istanbul with a transparency rating above 50.
- Show open civil society grants accepting applications this month alongside deadlines.
- Look for remote volunteer openings that need graphic designers.
