Common questions

Is NetGrant — Canadian funding safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 5 months ago, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

NetGrant — Canadian funding, inside your AI

NetGrant is a free, public MCP server (and web app) for searching 1,300+ live Canadian funding opportunities — grants, tax credits, wage subsidies, accelerators, pitch competitions, loans, and events. Ask Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to find, compare, and check eligibility for Canadian funding without leaving the conversation.

MCP endpoint: https://mcp.netgrant.ca/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth, no API key)
Web app: https://app.netgrant.ca (same data, search UI, no login)
Site: https://netgrant.ca

This repository is documentation only. NetGrant is a hosted, closed-source

public service — there is no source code here and none to self-host. Point your

MCP client at the endpoint above and you're done.

Add it to your client

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Cline / Continue — add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, .cursor/mcp.json, etc.):

"mcpServers": { "netgrant": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.netgrant.ca/mcp" } } }

Claude Code (CLI):

claude mcp add --transport http netgrant https://mcp.netgrant.ca/mcp

Claude.ai (web): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://mcp.netgrant.ca/mcp.

Tools

`compare_opportunities`	Fetch 2–4 opportunities at once for a side-by-side comparison.
`eligibility_check`	Pull one opportunity's eligibility criteria alongside an applicant description so the assistant can judge fit.
`subscribe_to_digest`	Opt the user (with their consent + email) into a free weekly email digest of new Canadian grants matching a saved search. Double opt-in.

Prompts (slash commands)

Prompt	What it does
`/find-for-me`	Match opportunities to a one-sentence business description.
`/check-deadlines`	Show opportunities closing in the next 30 days.

Weekly email digest

Beyond live search, NetGrant offers a free opt-in weekly email digest: tell the assistant the niche you're tracking (keywords + province), give your email, and you'll get 8–10 matching Canadian grants each week — newest first, falling back to the strongest current matches. Double opt-in, one-click unsubscribe.

Data coverage & freshness

1,300+ live opportunities across federal, provincial, municipal, and private sources.
Normalized schema: title, category, region, funding range, deadline, eligibility text, source URL.
Continuously ingested from 60+ source providers; a daily audit agent re-checks live listings, archives dead/expired programs, and corrects drifted details.
Updated weekly; stale items are auto-archived.

NetGrant is not affiliated with any government or funding body. Always confirm eligibility and deadlines on the official program page before applying.
