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):
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_riskreturnsunknownrather than inventing a number when the funder doesn't publish one.
Built for UK & EU charities, researchers, SMEs, and grant consultants.
