## About
Connects to a directory of federally insured US credit unions built from NCUA quarterly call report data. You can search listings by text, country, region, city and category, open a single record, and check the data sources, licenses and statistics.
Runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://creditunions.fyi/mcp. No sign-in or API key is needed for the read tools. A service token in the Authorization header can expose extra write tools allowed by its scopes. Results include attribution and source license details, and a listing is a record, not a recommendation.
## What it can do
- Search credit unions by text, place and category
- Fetch one credit union record by slug

## Install
### Claude Code
1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http creditunions https://creditunions.fyi/mcp
```
2. Start Claude Code and type `/mcp`. **creditunions** should show as connected.
Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.
### Claude Desktop
1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.
2. Name it **CreditUnions** and paste this URL:
```url
https://creditunions.fyi/mcp
```
3. Click **Add**. Its tools appear in the chat’s tools menu.
Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.
### claude.ai
1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
[Add to claude.ai]() (opens connector settings)
2. Check that the URL reads `https://creditunions.fyi/mcp` and click **Add**.
3. Turn it on in a chat from the tools menu.
Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.
### ChatGPT
1. On chatgpt.com, go to **Plugins**, select **+**, then **Add custom MCP server**.
2. Enter a name for the server.
3. Under **Connection**, paste `https://creditunions.fyi/mcp` as the server URL, then for authentication choose **No authentication**.
4. Check **I understand and want to continue**, then select **Create as a plugin**.
Whether you can add a custom MCP server depends on your ChatGPT plan and your workspace permissions (in Business workspaces, admins and owners can).
### Cursor
[Add to Cursor]() (opens Cursor)
Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):
`mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"creditunions": {
"url": "https://creditunions.fyi/mcp"
}
}
}
```
### VS Code
[Install in VS Code]() (opens VS Code)
Or from a terminal:
```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"creditunions","type":"http","url":"https://creditunions.fyi/mcp"}'
```
Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:
`.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"servers": {
"creditunions": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://creditunions.fyi/mcp"
}
}
}
```
### Devin Desktop
1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):
`mcp_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"creditunions": {
"serverUrl": "https://creditunions.fyi/mcp"
}
}
}
```
2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.
Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.
### Codex
```bash
codex mcp add creditunions --url https://creditunions.fyi/mcp
```
Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:
`config.toml`:
```toml
[mcp_servers.creditunions]
url = "https://creditunions.fyi/mcp"
```
### Gemini CLI
```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http creditunions https://creditunions.fyi/mcp
```
This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.
### Any client
Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"creditunions": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://creditunions.fyi/mcp"
}
}
}
```
Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.
Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://creditunions.fyi/mcp`.
