How do I install the mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `GRANTIQ_ADMIN_TOKEN`, `SAM_API_KEY`, `GRANTIQ_DB_PATH` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the MCP Server?

Search US grants + federal contracts (Grants.gov + SAM.gov) from any LLM.

What the server does

GrantIQ MCP turns the messy world of US government funding into a clean, agent-ready API. Eight typed tools cover everything from broad keyword search and NAICS-coded contract discovery to deadline radar and historical award lookups. Responses are normalized across both data sources, returned as plain JSON, and cached for 24 hours so repeat queries don't burn rate limit on the upstream agencies.
