Wraps the SBIR.gov public API so you can search federal Small Business Innovation Research grants and awards directly from Claude. No authentication required. The server connects through Pipeworx's gateway, which lets you either hit the SBIR endpoints directly or use their ask_pipeworx tool to query in plain English and have it route to the right API automatically. Useful if you're researching government funding opportunities, tracking SBIR/STTR programs, or need to pull award data for market research without manually browsing the SBIR site. Part of a larger gateway that aggregates 600+ data sources, but available standalone if you only need grants data.
SBIR MCP — wraps the SBIR.gov public API (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": {
"sbir": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/sbir/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 Sbir data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
