The Grants.gov API for open funding.

Open and forecasted federal grant opportunities as clean JSON — with the open and close dates and the Assistance Listing (CFDA) numbers, plus a link to the grants.gov detail page. Filter by keyword, agency or status; defaults to what's open right now. One key for grants, contracts, spending and SEC data.

Honest freshness. Opportunities are as published on Grants.gov; Edgrapi normalizes the official Search2 feed. Cost: 2 credits per call; empty results are free.
Agent-ready. This endpoint is also the get_grants tool on the hosted MCP server. Ask any agent "what federal grants are open for X?" and it calls this with your one key — no wrapper code.
