What can you do with GrantIQ?
GrantIQ MCP
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 โ 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/mcpโ there's no package to run locally.
- ๐ Server URL:
https://grantiq.co.uk/mcp(streamable HTTP) - ๐ Auth: OAuth 2.1 + PKCE โ free tier, no credit card
- ๐ Registries: Official MCP Registry (
uk.co.grantiq/mcp, DNS-verified) ยท Smithery ยท mcp.so - ๐ Home: grantiq.co.uk/mcp ยท ๐ Privacy
Install
Claude (Code / Desktop):
claude mcp add --transport http grantiq https://grantiq.co.uk/mcp
ChatGPT: Settings โ Connectors โ add an MCP server with URL https://grantiq.co.uk/mcp.
The first tool call opens an OAuth consent screen. Approve it, then โ first time only โ 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.

Why GrantIQ
- Eligibility before list. It checks what you're eligible for before recommending โ 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.
