GrantIQ MCP

Name: GrantIQ
Author: grantiq

Eligibility-first UK & EU grant discovery, inside ChatGPT and Claude.

GrantIQ is a hosted Model Context Protocol server that lets ChatGPT, Claude, and any MCP-capable assistant find the UK & EU grants your organisation is actually eligible for — checking eligibility before recommending, explaining why each grant fits, and citing the funder's own page on every answer.

This repository is the install/docs home for the GrantIQ MCP server. The server is hosted by GrantIQ at https://grantiq.co.uk/mcp — there's no package to run locally.

🌐 Server URL: https://grantiq.co.uk/mcp (streamable HTTP)
🔐 Auth: OAuth 2.1 + PKCE — free tier, no credit card
📇 Registries: Official MCP Registry (uk.co.grantiq/mcp, DNS-verified) · Smithery · mcp.so
🏠 Home: grantiq.co.uk/mcp · 🔒 Privacy

Install

Claude (Code / Desktop):

bash

claude mcp add --transport http grantiq https://grantiq.co.uk/mcp

ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors → add an MCP server with URL https://grantiq.co.uk/mcp.

The first tool call opens an OAuth consent screen. Approve it, then — first time only — ask your assistant to "complete my GrantIQ profile" (organisation type, location, sectors, focus). Personalised matching needs a profile; without one, find_opportunities tells you exactly what to add.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`find_opportunities`	Runs your profile through the eligibility-first matching engine; returns top grants with a fit score, rationale, and eligibility verdict
`should_apply`	Opinionated yes / borderline / no for a specific grant, with blockers, an effort estimate, and an honest `competition_risk`
`explain_opportunity`	Plain-English unpack of one grant: what it funds, who it's for, hidden constraints, application mechanics, citations
`search`	Free-text grant discovery across 100+ UK & EU funding sources
`fetch`	Full canonical record for one grant, with embedded evidence links
`complete_profile`	Set up your matching profile through chat (organisation, sectors, focus, funding range)

Why GrantIQ

Eligibility before list. It checks what you're eligible for before recommending — no scrolling grants you can't apply for.
UK & EU in one place. 100+ funding sources (UKRI, Innovate UK, Horizon Europe, EIC, Wellcome, Arts Council, National Lottery, and 90+ more), with daily refresh.
Honest by design. Every answer cites the funder's own page, and competition_risk returns unknown rather than inventing a number when the funder doesn't publish one.

Built for UK & EU charities, researchers, SMEs, and grant consultants.
