How to Use the Good Grants MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Stream real-time grant data directly into your frontend with the Good Grants MCP Server and Vercel AI SDK.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Good Grants MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Good Grants to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Live grant discovery in your UI
Feed live funding opportunities straight into your application components. By using `list_grant_funds` and `list_grant_categories`, your interface updates as the agent finds matches. Stop waiting for batch processing. Your users see the data pop up instantly as the AI client processes the results.
Manage applications via Vercel AI SDK
Build interactive forms that push data back to your backend. Using `create_new_application` allows your users to submit drafts without leaving your custom dashboard. Keep the state consistent across your application. The server handles the heavy lifting while your frontend stays reactive.
Deep inspection of grant reviews
Expose granular review data to your users with ease. Invoking `list_application_reviews` and `get_application_details` provides the exact context needed to make informed decisions. Everything stays in sync. Your components get the raw data they need, exactly when they need it.
