Nih Reporter MCP Server

@pipeworx/nih-reporter

NIH RePORTER MCP — every NIH-funded grant, no auth.

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

Tools

• search_grants(query?, pi_name?, organization?, fiscal_year?, state?, ic?, limit?, offset?) — filter projects.
• get_project(appl_id) — full record by application ID.
• search_publications(pmids?, appl_ids?, core_project_nums?, limit?, offset?) — grant-linked publications.

Data source

https://api.reporter.nih.gov/v2/ — public POST-JSON API, no key required.

Quick Start

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nih-reporter": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nih-reporter/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 Nih Reporter data" })

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