About Genuine Good Grants

Genuine Good Grants helps AI agents, grant software, and small research teams find and assess U.S. federal funding opportunities. It turns Grants.gov records into searches, official details, mission-fit scores, sourced briefs, and deterministic shortlist checks.

Key features

  1. 01Search current grant opportunities
  2. 02Retrieve official opportunity details
  3. 03Score mission fit
  4. 04Create sourced research briefs
  5. 05Run deterministic shortlist checks

Use cases

  1. 01Find grants by keyword
  2. 02Verify opportunity details and deadlines
  3. 03Prepare briefs for application research

MCP support

A hosted Streamable HTTP MCP server exposes grant search, detail, fit, brief, and preflight tools. Paid tool calls return an x402 USDC payment challenge.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Genuine Good Grants API

Account-free, pay-per-call U.S. federal grant discovery for AI agents, grant software, and small research teams. Genuine Good Grants turns current Grants.gov public records into structured search, official opportunity detail, transparent mission-fit scoring, sourced briefs, and deterministic shortlist checks.

No API key is required. Calls settle in USDC on Base mainnet using x402 v2.

Start here

Discovery and verification

The OpenAPI document includes machine-readable x402 pricing metadata, and the paid routes return the expected HTTP 402 challenge before payment. These links are provided for discovery and independent verification. Directory review and indexing status are controlled by the directory maintainers.

Choose the first call

If you already have one to five Grants.gov opportunity IDs, start with the free preview to inspect the output shape, then use the $5 preflight. If you are building a repeated research workflow, the non-renewing $15 pass covers 30 days or 1,000 calls, whichever comes first.

Pricing

RoutePurposePrice
POST or GET /v1/grants/searchCurrent opportunity search$5.00
POST or GET /v1/grants/detailOfficial opportunity detail$5.00
POST or GET /v1/grants/fitTransparent mission-fit ranking$5.00
POST or GET /v1/grants/briefSourced application-research brief$5.00
POST or GET /v1/grants/preflightDeterministic shortlist preflight$5.00
POST /v1/grants/passNon-renewing 30-day pass, up to 1,000 calls$15.00

Prices in this table mirror the current live catalog. The HTTP 402 response and its PAYMENT-REQUIRED header are authoritative for each request.

Inspect before paying

curl -i -X POST https://genuinegood.online/v1/grants/search -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"keyword":"rural clean water","statuses":["posted","forecasted"],"rows":5}'

The unpaid request returns HTTP 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED challenge. An x402-compatible client signs the quoted EIP-3009 authorization and retries the identical request with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. A successful retry returns JSON plus PAYMENT-RESPONSE.

Use from an MCP client

The hosted Streamable HTTP server exposes the grants tools at:

https://genuinegood.online/api/grants/mcp

VS Code and GitHub Copilot users can add it with this configuration:

{
  "servers": {
    "genuine-good-grants": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://genuinegood.online/api/grants/mcp"
    }
  }
}

A ready-to-copy version is available at examples/mcp.json. The server can list its tools without an API key. Paid tool calls return an x402 challenge containing the current USDC price and Base settlement details.

JavaScript buyer

Install the x402 client packages and use examples/search.ts:

npm install @x402/core @x402/evm @x402/fetch viem
EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... npx tsx examples/search.ts

The example sets x402's spend cap to $15 so it can cover the highest-priced pass. A buyer needs an EVM wallet with USDC on Base mainnet and a small amount of ETH on Base for gas. A BTC/BCH-only wallet cannot sign this payment; a multichain wallet with Base enabled can. The private key remains in the buyer process; Genuine Good receives only the x402 payment payload required to settle the request.

Response principles

  • Official source URLs and access timestamps are included.
  • Deadline and applicant-type checks are rules over retrieved records, not eligibility decisions.
  • A match is not an award prediction, legal advice, or government endorsement.
  • Live issuing-agency notices remain controlling.

Genuine Good Grants is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Grants.gov or any U.S. agency.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
