Connects Claude to federal grant opportunities via Grants.gov's public APIs without requiring authentication. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which wraps 250+ data sources behind a unified MCP interface. You can call individual tools directly or use the ask_pipeworx natural language wrapper to query grants data without manually constructing parameters. Useful when you're building grant search tools, automating opportunity monitoring, or need to surface federal funding options in conversational workflows. Free tier available, runs over streamable HTTP so no local process needed.
Grants.gov MCP — open federal grant opportunities (free, no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
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 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
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.
