Screens household or business situations against federal and state eligibility rules for benefits (SNAP, Medicaid), tax credits (EITC, education), grants (R&D, SBIR), down-payment assistance, visa categories, and charity care. Each finding cites the governing rule and hands off to the administering body or a professional.

Example request: "Tell me which federal tax credits my family might be missing and how to claim them for free."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Grant Finder to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://qualify.dropwatchhq.com/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.
