## Description

Managing grant cycles and foundation budgets usually means jumping between spreadsheets and database entries. This MCP changes that by giving your agent the ability to query application data directly. You can ask your AI client to run totals on approved funding or check how much an applicant has requested across all their submissions. If you need to know if a new batch of requests will push you over your budget, the MCP can verify your remaining capacity against specific limits. It turns your AI into a specialized financial assistant that understands your foundation's specific funding commitments and application statuses.
