Connects to Grants.gov and SAM.gov to search federal funding opportunities and past contract awards. Muse can help small businesses and nonprofits find matching grants, contracts, and deadlines by organization type and focus area.

Example request: "Find open federal grants for my nonprofit focused on education with awards between $50,000 and $500,000."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use GrantIQ to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://mcp.grantiq.us/mcp/. It needs an API key from bch1212; ask me to enter it through your secure credential prompt. 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.
