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.

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.

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) |
