Fedwright developers

This is the staging environment's documentation. It is a draft and may change at any time.

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop connects to the Fedwright MCP server as a custom connector. It was tested on macOS with Fedwright staging on 2026-10-22. It uses a pre-registered OAuth client named Claude.

Add the connector

Section titled “Add the connector”
  1. In Claude Desktop, open Settings, Connectors, and add a custom connector.
  2. Set the server URL to https://mcp-staging.fedwright.com/mcp.
  3. Open the advanced OAuth settings. Set the OAuth client ID to 394944800756858905, and leave the client secret empty.
  4. Save the connector, and sign in to Fedwright in the browser when Claude Desktop asks.

Approve the first request

Section titled “Approve the first request”

Ask Claude to search Fedwright opportunities. The first call that needs an organization’s data doesn’t run. Claude Desktop shows an approval link as the tool’s error text, not as a native prompt:

  1. Open the link, and approve the access on https://staging.fedwright.com. See approving a client’s access.
  2. Ask Claude to try again.

Approvals are per client. Review or revoke them at

Account, MCP grants . After a revocation, the next call is refused until you approve again.

Things to know

Section titled “Things to know”
  • MCP use is counted in prompts for your organization. A call refused for a prompt or per-minute limit returns an error that says which limit, how much is used, and when it resets. A call refused because too many are running at once says Too many Fedwright requests at once; retry. See Limits and errors.
  • The server tells the client to keep its tool list for one hour. After Fedwright adds or changes a tool, refresh the connector’s tools or start a new chat to see it.
  • The tool reference lists what Claude can ask Fedwright for.
