FundingLandscape

DEPRECATED ALIAS — prefer search_grantsplus with a queries[] array, which now runs the identical batch fan-out. Kept for backward compatibility; behavior is unchanged. Search grants, prizes, and foundations comprehensively. Returns 10 results by default (~4KB). Use detail_level and max_results to control response size. Response includes total available count so you can request more if needed. Counts toward your monthly searches. A batch counts as 1 call.

DEPRECATED ALIAS — prefer search_procurement with a queries[] array, which now runs the identical batch fan-out. Kept for backward compatibility; behavior is unchanged. Search federal contracts (SAM.gov) comprehensively. Returns 10 results by default (~4KB). Use detail_level and max_results to control response size. Response includes total available count so you can request more if needed. When sam_filters.pop_state (alias: place_of_performance_state) is set, the response includes a placeOfPerformance field summed across every sub-query (matched, unknownServed with unknowns excluded instead when user_context.location_strict is true, and otherStateExcluded). Counts toward your monthly searches. A batch counts as 1 call.

Verify MCP server connectivity. Returns success immediately with no database calls. Use this FIRST if experiencing tool errors - a successful response confirms the server is reachable. It does not confirm account, search, or paid-feature authentication, which can still return "Auth required" separately. Does not count toward your monthly searches.

Get upcoming funding deadlines for planning an application schedule. Default compact mode returns a merged `results` list of lean rows (id/title/org/deadline/daysUntil and direct url when it fits) plus section counts/index ranges so grants and procurement stay balanced without duplicating every row. Pass compact:false for full descriptions, quality details, and full `sections.grants` / `sections.procurement` arrays. Returns a bounded page of up to 50 candidate rows per section before calendar exclusions, not a complete calendar for the requested window. `coverage` preserves per-section candidate counts and executable candidate-search continuations; counts are not exact eligible totals. Non-biddable notices (Sources Sought, Award notices, etc.) and past/undated rows are excluded. Pass `category` to restrict to one type (e.g. "procurement" for contracts only). Paid feature. Counts toward your monthly searches.

Delete a saved search by ID. Use list_saved_searches first to find the ID. Does not count toward your monthly searches.

Find the private foundations whose covered 990-PF filings name a given organization as a grant recipient. Use this to research who funds peer organizations doing work like the user's. Returns matched recipients with a confidence tier (registry_corroborated = an EIN matched a registry record; name_match = normalized organization name only), then that recipient's funders ranked by total recorded giving with amounts, grant-record counts, and the covered filing years. Historical filing evidence, NOT an open call, a current interest statement, or an eligibility signal. Does not count toward your monthly searches.

Find opportunities similar to a given one using semantic similarity. Returns each result with similarityScore (0-1) and a concise matchExplanation of shared signals such as category/class, geography, organization, and award amount band. Useful when user likes one result and wants more like it. Uses vector embeddings to find conceptually related opportunities, not just keyword matches. Paid feature. Counts toward your monthly searches.

Find the private foundations that have given to recipients in a cause area, optionally limited to one state. The cause area is the IRS NTEE major group recorded for the RECIPIENT organization, so this reports where a funder has actually given rather than what it says it funds. Historical filing evidence, not an open call. Valid causes: Arts and culture (A), Education (B), Environment (C), Animals (D), Health care (E), Mental health and crisis (F), Disease and disorders (G), Medical research (H), Crime and legal aid (I), Employment (J), Food and agriculture (K), Housing and shelter (L), Public safety and disaster relief (M), Recreation and sports (N), Youth development (O), Human services (P), International affairs (Q), Civil rights and advocacy (R), Community improvement (S), Philanthropy and grantmaking (T), Science and technology (U), Social science (V), Public and societal benefit (W), Religion (X), Mutual benefit (Y), Unclassified (Z). Does not count toward your monthly searches.

Get the current profile for a PRIVATE foundation by EIN. Foundation Intelligence Beta uses active QA-gated releases for filing-scoped public facts and Plus grant-history and repeat-grantee sections. The Pro leadership section returns only people and titles exactly as listed in a dated public filing, with responsible-use limits. The Pro federal-connections section returns registry-corroborated organization-level overlap with federal assistance records. Named-person grant recipients and grant-purpose text are excluded. Only private foundations (IRS 990-PF filers, 3,678+ foundations) are included. Does not count toward your monthly searches.

Get details for a specific funding opportunity. Description includes up to 12,000 characters of cleaned stored source text; descriptionCoverage reports truncation and returned length. If truncated, consult the source URL. Without an mcp-session-id, the sessionless first answer returns the compact description instead: read descriptionCoverage for the returned length, the stored length and whether the text was cut, and echo the header for the full text. IMPORTANT: Use the exact "id" field from search results (e.g. "cmk65gf090028lee3nhy4lo6a"). Do NOT construct or guess IDs. Does not count toward your monthly searches.

List all saved searches for the current user. Returns each search with its ID, query, filters, alert settings, and last run time. Use this FIRST to check what the user already has before creating or updating searches. Response includes remaining slots and plan info. Saved searches are available on every plan, including Free (Free: 1 saved search with weekly email alerts, Plus: 10, Pro: 25). Does not count toward your monthly searches.

Report bugs, data issues, or feedback. Actions: bug, data_issue, irrelevant, praise. Does not count toward your monthly searches.

Save a search query for email alerts. When new opportunities match, the user receives daily or weekly email notifications. The FREE tier includes 1 saved search with weekly email alerts, so any user can set one up without a paid plan. RECOMMENDED WORKFLOW: 1. Call list_saved_searches first to check for existing/similar searches 2. If a similar search exists, offer to update_saved_search instead 3. Search with search_grantsplus or search_procurement first to validate the query returns good results 4. Save with appropriate filters based on what the user described FILTER TIPS: - Use itemTypes ["grant"] for grants/fellowships or ["procurement"] for contracts/RFPs - Use sourceTypes ["federal"] for federal opportunities only - Use geography ["CA"] for California-specific (includes national opportunities) - For SAM.gov-specific filters (NAICS, set-asides), use sourceContext - Keep filters broad for notifications - better to get a few extra than miss one PLAN LIMITS: Free: 1 saved search, weekly email alerts. Plus ($29/mo): 10 saved searches, daily or weekly alerts. Pro ($79/mo): 25 saved searches, daily or weekly alerts. Does not count toward your monthly searches.

Look up a private foundation by full legal name or EIN in the active QA-gated Foundation Intelligence release (3,678 profiles). Mission/topic discovery and grant-purpose search are withheld until their source and quality contracts pass review. Counts toward your monthly searches.

MIXED search across all 32,717 opportunities from 232 sources — combines grants AND procurement/contracts in one query. This mixes funding types which can create noisy results. ROUTING — use the specialized tool instead: • User wants grants/funding/fellowships/prizes → search_grantsplus • User wants contracts/RFPs/procurement/bids → search_procurement • User explicitly wants BOTH types → search_grants_and_procurement • Intent unclear → ASK the user first Use search_grantsplus or search_procurement for cleaner, more relevant results. Free tier: 10 searches/month, full results. Paid plans add higher monthly limits. Paid plans show new listings the day they open; the free plan reaches the same listings after 10 days. Counts toward your monthly searches.

GRANTS & FOUNDATIONS — Search grants, prizes, fellowships, SBIR/STTR, and private foundations. Excludes procurement/contracts for clean results. Use when user wants: funding, grants, fellowships, research money, SBIR, foundation grants. Also returns matching private foundations automatically. Examples: "cancer research funding", "clean energy small business grants", "HVAC grants in Arizona". BATCH MODE (paid): pass a queries[] array of 2-5 variations instead of query to run them in parallel, dedupe, and return all unique results in one call — this replaces the former batch_search_grantsplus tool. Paid plans show new listings the day they open; the free plan reaches the same listings after 10 days. Counts toward your monthly searches. A batch counts as 1 call.

CONTRACTS & PROCUREMENT — Search government contracts, RFPs, RFIs, BAAs, and solicitations from SAM.gov. Better than searching SAM.gov directly — includes semantic search and NAICS industry filtering to exclude commodity noise. Use when user wants: contracts, RFPs, procurement, bids, government work. Examples: "IT consulting services", "construction management", "cybersecurity contracts". BATCH MODE (paid): pass a queries[] array of 2-5 variations instead of query to run them in parallel, dedupe, and return all unique results in one call — this replaces the former batch_search_procurement tool. When sam_filters.place_of_performance_state (alias: pop_state, accepted in both single and batch mode) is set, the response includes a placeOfPerformance field reporting how many results are confirmed performed in that state (matched), how many have no confirmed location and are shown demoted with a caveat (unknownServed, excluded instead when user_context.location_strict is true), and how many were excluded for being tagged to a different, parseable state (otherStateExcluded; geography we could not parse into any state, such as a bare address or ZIP code, counts as unknownServed instead); a batch call sums these across every sub-query. Paid plans show new listings the day they open; the free plan reaches the same listings after 10 days. Counts toward your monthly searches. A batch counts as 1 call.

Update a saved search. Modify query, filters, alert cadence, name, or quality settings. Can only update your own saved searches. MODIFIABLE FIELDS: query, name, filters (same schema as save_search), cadence (weekly/daily/never), hidelow (quality filter), emailEnabled (on/off) TIP: Call list_saved_searches first to see the current settings, then update only the fields that need to change. The response confirms what was updated. Does not count toward your monthly searches.

DEDICATED "what's new since I last checked" tool for recurring agent checks: one obvious call instead of remembering the new_within_days param on a search tool. Returns opportunities FundingLandscape ingested in the last N days (default 7), with a newSince summary (newCount, newest, oldest ingest timestamp). In a pure recency digest without a single source, the window is sampled across sources round-robin by ingest recency so one bulk harvester cannot own the digest; each source remains newest first. In windowCoverage, sourcesSampled counts distinct sources returned by the grouped provider query before MCP quality, judge, recency-withhold, and page filters; it is absent when no grouped sample was available, including when sampling was not attempted, and 0 means the grouped query succeeded but returned no sourced rows; sourcesServed counts distinct sources delivered on this page. windowCoverage.order is "recency" for the queryless browse digest or "relevance" when a query is present. windowIncomplete/incompleteReason reports any incomplete retrieval walk, and ceilingTruncated is true only when the 2,000-row ceiling excluded records; ceilingTruncated and hardCeiling are present only when order is "recency" and are omitted entirely under "relevance" (query mode never walks past a single bounded fetch, so no ceiling logic runs). Wraps the same ingest-freshness filter as posted_within_days/new_within_days on the search tools, no separate counting logic. Optional query/status/source narrow the window; omit query entirely for a pure recency digest across everything new. For a stateless watermark, pass since (ISO 8601) instead of days, then store this response's newSince.newest and pass it back next time. Free tier: full window, honest held-back count if the recency gate withholds anything newer. Counts toward your monthly searches.
