Grants.gov MCP — open federal funding opportunities, no auth.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

  • search_opportunities(keyword?, status?, agencies?, funding_categories?, aln?, limit?, offset?) — filter open opportunities.
  • get_opportunity(opportunity_id) — full record with synopsis, eligibility, attachments.

Data source

https://api.grants.gov/v1/api/ — public POST-JSON API, no key required.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grants-gov": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/grants-gov/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Grants Gov data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
