概览

What is Canido?

Canido is an MCP server that integrates with the CanIDo regulatory intelligence API to answer what permits, licenses, or regulations apply for a given business activity at a specific location. Designed for MCP-compatible AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, etc.), it currently supports food-service activities in Austin, TX; San Francisco, CA; and New York City, NY.

How to use Canido?

Install and run the server via npx: npx -y @canido/mcp-server. Set the CANIDO_API_KEY environment variable with your API key (free keys available at the CanIDo website, 10 queries/month). Any MCP-compatible client can then invoke the server’s tools: lookup_requirements, list_locations, and get_requirement_detail.
