Frequently asked questions
Can I see the scores for a specific application via AI?
Yes! Use the list_application_reviews tool. Your agent will retrieve the history of scores and comments provided by the reviewers for that application.
How do I create a new grant application using the agent?
Use the create_new_application action. Provide the Fund ID, Category ID, and the application title. The agent will instantly register the draft in your Good Grants account.
Is it possible to list all registered applicants via AI?
Absolutely. Use the list_account_users query. The agent will retrieve the complete directory of users and applicants stored in your platform.
How does LangChain connect to MCP servers?
Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.
Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?
All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
Can I trace MCP tool calls in LangSmith?
Yes. All MCP tool invocations appear as traced steps in LangSmith, showing input parameters, response payloads, latency, and token usage.
