Frequently asked questions
Your agent calls search_grants over MCP. ScholarMuse queries NIH RePORTER, NSF Awards, UKRI Gateway to Research and returns records, each with its source, licence and a link you can check.
No. It costs 1 credit per call, charged only when the call succeeds. A new account gets 50 credits once, valid for 30 days. The web version, NIH RePORTER search, is free without an account, 5 runs a day.
Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and any other client that supports MCP.
Yes. The same tools (search_grants) are available over the REST API.
