McKinley wouldn't have been a Klan member. The old Klan was a Southern institution. The new national Klan wasn't founded until after McKinley was long dead.

Wilson sympathized with the Klan as depicted in Birth of a Nation, but he was too young for the old Klan and already in the White House when the new Klan was founded.

And I really doubt Coolidge was a Klan member.

From what I’ve read it looked like Coolidge was the victim of a smear campaign. I saw several allegations but never any evidence.

Wilson was a stone racist but the evidence against him was just as slim.

I never researched McKinley.
