NGP VAN Interface

NGP VAN data,
unlocked for AI

NGP VAN Interface is the most powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) built for the Democratic and progressive movement. We’re in closed beta and looking for two types of partners — campaign teams ready to put AI to work, and developers ready to build what’s next.

Looking to work smarter with AI?


Interface follows opens standards, and allows you to connect Claude and other tools directly to your account so you can search contacts, build lists, run bulk imports, apply activist codes, and more — all through natural language, without navigating complex menus or switching between databases. We’re looking for individuals and teams ready to test AI-powered workflows with their data stored in NGP and My Campaign.

do you have access to the VAN MCP Beta?

Yes — you have a VAN (NGP VAN / EveryAction) MCP connected. It includes tools for people search/updates, canvass responses, contributions and pledges, events and signups, activist codes, survey questions, saved lists, notes, bulk imports, and auth management.

Want me to check the auth status or try a quick call to confirm it's working?
