Connects Claude to the NIH RePORTER database, giving you access to every NIH-funded research project without authentication. Part of the Pipeworx gateway that wraps 250+ data sources behind a streamable HTTP transport. You can query projects directly or use the ask_pipeworx tool to pose questions in plain English and let the gateway figure out which calls to make. Useful when you're researching grant funding, tracking scientific initiatives, or need to pull federal research data into a workflow. Free tier available, and you can connect to just NIH RePORTER or the full Pipeworx suite depending on scope.
NIH RePORTER MCP — every NIH-funded research project (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": {
"nih-reporter": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nih-reporter/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 Nih Reporter data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
