About grant-mcp

grant-mcp is an MCP server published by vertical-mcp in the Search category: mCP server for searching research grants across NSF (US), ERC (EU), and KRF/NRF (Korea) via a unified interface. NIH excluded—covered by existing connectors.

Six months or more without a commit doesn't mean the server is broken, but check the open issues before depending on it in production.

Install

From source
git clone https://github.com/vertical-mcp/grant-mcp

This server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

Tools (3)

get_grant_detailFull detail for a specific grant ID (W2)

Parameters not published.

list_upcoming_deadlinesUpcoming application deadlines (W2)

Parameters not published.

README

Grant MCP

한국어 · English


English

MCP server for searching research grants across NSF (US), ERC (EU), and KRF/NRF (Korea). Built for researchers, grant consultants, and PI's who need a single interface to query global funding opportunities.

Why this exists

Existing grant search tools are siloed:

  • NIH RePORTER MCP exists (US biomedical only)
  • NSF, ERC, Korean grants have no unified MCP
  • Researchers maintain 5+ bookmarks and copy-paste between sites

Grant MCP unifies these into a single Claude tool.

Coverage (v0.1)

Source Country API Status
NSF Awards US api.nsf.gov ✅
ERC / CORDIS EU cordis.europa.eu ✅ (basic)
KRF / NRF Korea apis.data.go.kr ✅ (requires free API key)
Horizon Europe EU CORDIS overlap W2
UKRI Gateway UK gtr.ukri.org W2

Explicitly excluded: NIH (covered by GSA-TTS/nih-reporter-mcp-server).

Installation

npm install -g @vertical-mcp/grant-mcp

Claude Desktop Config

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

Windows: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grant-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@vertical-mcp/grant-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "KRF_API_KEY": "your-key-from-data.go.kr"
      }
    }
  }
}

The KRF_API_KEY is optional. Without it, NSF and ERC still work; Korean grants return empty.

Tools

한국어

NSF (미국) · ERC (유럽) · KRF/NRF (한국) 연구비 데이터베이스를 단일 인터페이스로 검색하는 MCP 서버입니다. 연구자, 연구비 컨설턴트, 책임연구자가 글로벌 펀딩 기회를 한 번에 조회할 때 사용합니다.

왜 만들었나

기존 연구비 검색 도구는 분절되어 있습니다:

  • NIH RePORTER MCP는 이미 존재 (미국 바이오 한정)
  • NSF · ERC · 한국 연구비는 통합 MCP 부재
  • 연구자는 사이트 5개 이상 북마크하고 복사·붙여넣기

Grant MCP는 이를 Claude 단일 도구로 통합합니다.

커버리지 (v0.1)

출처 국가 API 상태
NSF Awards 미국 api.nsf.gov ✅
ERC / CORDIS EU cordis.europa.eu ✅ (기본)
KRF / NRF 한국 apis.data.go.kr ✅ (무료 API 키 필요)
Horizon Europe EU CORDIS 중복 W2
UKRI Gateway 영국 gtr.ukri.org W2

의도적 제외: NIH (이미 GSA-TTS/nih-reporter-mcp-server 존재)

설치

npm install -g @vertical-mcp/grant-mcp

Claude Desktop 설정

claude_desktop_config.json에 추가:

Windows: C:\Users\<사용자>\AppData\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "grant-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@vertical-mcp/grant-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "KRF_API_KEY": "data.go.kr에서-발급받은-키"
      }
    }
  }
}

KRF_API_KEY는 선택. 없어도 NSF · ERC는 정상 동작, 한국 연구비만 빈 결과.

KRF API 키 발급 (무료, 5분)

  1. https://www.data.go.kr 접속
  2. 로그인 후 "한국연구재단 연구과제 검색" 검색
  3. "활용신청" 클릭, 자동 승인 (개발 계정)
  4. 발급된 인증키를 위 KRF_API_KEY에 입력

사용 예시

"양자 센싱 분야 2023년 이후 NSF 연구비 찾아줘"

"스페인의 광계측 분야 ERC Starting Grant 알려줘"

"2024년 KAIST 한국연구재단 과제 전부 나열해줘"
