Who it is for
Nonprofit grant seekers looking beyond the largest funding programmes.
Granted
Grant search across federal, state and private foundation sources
Overview
What Granted does
Granted's argument is about coverage rather than search quality. Most grant databases index the large programmes; the listing says this one reaches the long tail as well, taking in niche state grants, small family foundations, and hyper-local opportunities that no single database collects.
Two research datasets sit behind it. Financial records and key officers for 133,000 US foundations come from IRS 990 filings, and 7 million federal award records show who has previously won. That second one changes the question from which grants exist to which applicants tend to succeed. This connector carries the partner tier, meaning it passed a review step.
Tool surface
Five tools answered, matching the listing: search_grants and get_grant for opportunities, search_funders and get_funder for the organisations behind them, and get_past_winners for who has actually received awards.
Availability
Where Granted is listed
Granted is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Granted AI has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
Granted publishes 5 tools to Claude, a deliberately narrow surface; only 22.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Nonprofit publishes 5.5, so this one sits 0.5 tools below its bucket's median, 5th of 8.
It falls in the 4-6 tools band, which holds 16.2% of the Claude directory.
Measured against the live endpoint
A direct call to the endpoint returned 5 tools, matching the 5 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.

Granted publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Granted carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
In the publisher's words
How Granted AI describes it
Search virtually every grant opportunity in existence - federal, state, and private foundation - using natural language. Most databases cover the big programs. Granted also surfaces the long tail: niche state grants, small family foundations, and hyper-local opportunities that nonprofits never find because no single database indexes them all. Research 133,000 US foundations with IRS 990 financials and key officers. Analyze 7 million federal award records to see who's actually winning.
