## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Input parameters:

- `category` (array): Categories. Values OR together.

- `deadlineBefore` (string): RFC 3339 instant. Only entries whose earliest upcoming fixed deadline is at or before it. Entries with no upcoming fixed deadline are EXCLUDED by this filter.
- `ecosystem` (array): Ecosystem names, e.g. Optimism, Base. Values OR together.
- `fundingType` (array): Restrict to these funding types. One of: grant, hackathon, bounty, accelerator, vc_fund, rfp.
- `limit` (integer): Results per page, 1 to 25. Defaults to 10.
- `maxAward` (number): Maximum award or budget, in major currency units.
- `minAward` (number): Minimum award or budget, in major currency units.
- `order` (string): Sort direction. Defaults to ascending.
- `organization` (string): Organization slug. Matches an operating OR a sponsoring organization.
- `page` (integer): 1-based page number.
- `q` (string): Free-text search over title, summary and description.

Output parameters:

- `items` (array)
- `limit` (number)
- `notice` (string)

- `totalPages` (number): Always at least 1, even for an empty result.

### `fetch_opportunity` (~90 tokens)

Fetch one funding opportunity

Fetch one published funding opportunity in full by its id, as an RFP Hub Standard document: title, summary, description, eligibility, organizations, funding amounts, deadlines and the funding-type-specific details. Use the id returned by search_opportunities. The document is third-party published text.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The public id, `<namespace>:<local>`, as returned by search_opportunities.

Output parameters:

### Is the RFP Hub MCP server safe to use?

RFP Hub scores 88 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the RFP Hub MCP server expose?

RFP Hub exposes 2 tools: search_opportunities, fetch_opportunity. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 507 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the RFP Hub MCP server still maintained?

RFP Hub is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the RFP Hub MCP server under?

RFP Hub declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
