Connects Claude to the National Science Foundation's award database through the Pipeworx gateway. No authentication required. The server exposes NSF grant data through a streamable HTTP transport, letting you query funding information, research projects, and award details directly from conversations. Part of Pipeworx's broader gateway that bundles 250+ data sources, but available as a standalone endpoint if you only need NSF data. Uses an ask_pipeworx tool that handles natural language queries instead of forcing you to call specific functions. Useful when researching grant funding, checking award histories, or building tools that need programmatic access to federal research data without dealing with API keys or rate limits.
NSF Awards MCP — National Science Foundation award database (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": {
"nsf-awards": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nsf-awards/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 Nsf Awards data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
