Agent-Oriented Federal Grant Search Tool
EquivalentAd9394 · reddit · 2026-07-13
The author built a GrantScout MCP server that allows agents to directly search Grants.gov for federal funding opportunities and check eligibility.
Features include:
- searchopportunities: Searches current grant opportunities based on criteria, returning title, agency, deadline, CFDA, etc.
- getopportunity: Views full details, including funding amount, eligibility, contact info, and URL.
- checkeligibility(orgprofile, id): Provides a rough feasibility assessment (likely / unclear / unlikely) based on organization info.
The author emphasizes that it currently only integrates with Grants.gov, and checkeligibility is merely a heuristic and not legal advice. They are also asking the community whether an agent-callable grants tool like this provides real value.
