MCP support

Exposes 10 public-money and filings tools to MCP clients. Each tool runs a public-data Apify Actor using the configured Apify account.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Each tool runs one public-data Apify Actor on your own Apify account and is priced per result. Part of the Panda Federation toolkit (40 tools in four focused servers).

How to use this

uvx panda-public-funding-tools
  1. Get a free Apify token at console.apify.com/settings/integrations (the free plan includes $5 of monthly credit) and install uv.
  2. Add the server to your MCP client: command uvx, args ["panda-public-funding-tools"], env APIFY_TOKEN (Cursor JSON below).
  3. Ask in plain words, e.g. "Find open federal grants on wildfire sensors and the contracts in that NAICS ending in the next six months." Start with one or two inputs and read the summary / agentSummary line before widening.

Other ways to install

From the umbrella package (same tools):

uvx --from panda-federation-tools panda-public-funding-tools

From this repo instead of PyPI:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/pandadad0214/panda-public-funding-tools panda-public-funding-tools

Cursor / Claude / VS Code: command uvx, args ["panda-public-funding-tools"], env APIFY_TOKEN.

Official MCP Registry name for this stdio package: io.github.pandadad0214/panda-public-funding-tools (server.json). Registry clients install the PyPI package with uvx panda-public-funding-tools. The git command above stays the install path from this repo.

Use with Gemini CLI

Install this repo as a Gemini CLI extension (adds the MCP server plus a short GEMINI.md context file). Needs Gemini CLI, uv, and a free Apify token.

gemini extensions install https://github.com/pandadad0214/panda-public-funding-tools

The extension prompts for APIFY_TOKEN on install and launches the server with uvx panda-public-funding-tools. Gallery listing is automatic once this public repo carries the gemini-cli-extension topic and a root gemini-extension.json (crawled daily).

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.
