Requests go through mcptry because browsers can't call most MCP servers directly. Header values are sent to the server for that request only and are never stored or logged.

check_grant_eligibility

Given a Grants.gov opportunity ID and an organization type, return a definitive eligibility verdict with the reason. ELIGIBLE / INELIGIBLE / NEEDS_REVIEW. Never guesses: an opportunity that publishes no applicant types, or only 'Others (see text)', returns NEEDS_REVIEW rather than a false green light.

opportunityIdstring, required

Numeric Grants.gov opportunity id, e.g. '357305'.

organizationTypestring, required

The federal applicant category to test against.

This tool isn't marked read-only, so it may change something on the server or in an account you connected.

find_federal_grants

Find open U.S. federal grant opportunities an organization is ACTUALLY eligible to apply for. Filters by the machine-readable applicant-type code Grants.gov publishes on every opportunity, so ineligible opportunities are excluded rather than ranked low. Returns deadlines, award ceilings, cost-sharing requirements, and what prior winners of the same program actually received. Free, no key, live federal data.

Argument	Type	Description
limit	integer	Max opportunities to return (default 10).
keyword	string	Mission or topic, e.g. 'housing', 'mental health', 'workforce'. Broad single terms return more.
organizationType*	string	The federal applicant category the organization files under, e.g. nonprofit_501c3, small_business, tribal_government, school_district.
includeForecasted	boolean	Include opportunities announced but not yet open — useful for preparing early.

grant_program_history

What a federal grant program has actually awarded before, by CFDA/assistance-listing number: median award, largest award, and recent recipients from USAspending.gov. Use it to sanity-check whether a request is realistic — a $150k ask against a program with a $40M median means competing with major institutions.

Argument	Type	Description
cfda*	string	CFDA / assistance listing number, e.g. '93.243'.

Input schema (JSON)

{
  "type": "object",
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "required": [
    "cfda"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "cfda": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "CFDA / assistance listing number, e.g. '93.243'."
