Works for open, forthcoming and recently closed schemes; a scheme whose deadline has passed is reported as closed.get_funder· Read a UK funder's public profile: type, charity or company number, website, register description and income, published 360Giving totals, its open, rolling and forthcoming schemes and its recently closed ones, each with its URL. Look a fundcount_matching_grants· Count open, rolling and forthcoming UK grant schemes matching optional filters, with the same rules as search_grants. Returns a number and a link to the matching search on the website. Use search_grants to see the schemes themselves.list_example_grants· List up to three showcase grants whose full record (summary, criteria and contacts) is public. These are fixed examples, not search results; use search_grants to find schemes.get_example_grant· Read one showcase grant's full record by UUID. For any other grant use get_grant, which returns its public facts.
How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
