Grants.gov is a remote MCP server, so any assistant that can add a custom connector by link can use it. Same link, same tools.
Add it to ChatGPT
- 1
Open ChatGPT settings
In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Connectors (called Apps & Connectors on some accounts).
- 2
Turn on developer mode
Under Advanced settings, switch on Developer mode. That is what lets you add a connector by link.

Create the connector

- 4
Use it in a chat
Start a chat, open the tools menu, pick the connector, and ask. ChatGPT asks before it runs a tool the first time.
Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan, and on Team, Enterprise and Edu accounts only an admin can add them. Our "Working" label means the server answered us; it cannot tell whether your plan lets you add it. All connectors that work in ChatGPT
