What is the NIH RePORTER (Research Funding) MCP Server?
Connect to the NIH RePORTER (Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools) to explore the vast landscape of NIH-funded research. This server allows AI agents to query project metadata, funding amounts, principal investigators, and publication records directly from the official government database.
What you can do
- Project Discovery — Search for NIH grants and projects using criteria like fiscal years, PI names, organization names, and project numbers.
- Funding Analysis — Retrieve specific award amounts and filter research by agency (e.g., NIGMS, NIAID) or award ranges.
- Publication Tracking — Find scientific publications linked to specific NIH applications or core project numbers using PubMed IDs.
- COVID-19 Research — Filter projects specifically related to COVID-19 responses and supplemental funding.
- Advanced Filtering — Use text searches, date ranges, and organizational matching to find precise research data.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- This is a public data service; no private API key is required for standard access, but you can configure your connection to start querying immediately.
- Start analyzing the NIH research portfolio from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
Who is this for?
- Academic Researchers — quickly find related work, funding history for specific labs, or publication outputs of NIH grants.
- Data Scientists — aggregate funding trends and research outputs for bibliometric or policy analysis.
- Grant Writers & Administrators — research successful grant examples and funding patterns within specific institutions or fields.

Frequently asked questions
How can I find all NIH grants awarded to a specific university?
Use the search_projects tool and provide the university name in the org_names array. You can also refine the search by adding fiscal_years to see awards for a specific period.
Can I see which publications resulted from a specific NIH project number?
Yes! Use the search_publications tool and enter the project identifier in the core_project_nums field. The agent will return a list of associated PubMed records.
Is it possible to filter research projects by funding amount?
Absolutely. The search_projects tool includes an award_amount_range parameter where you can specify min_amount and max_amount to find projects within your budget criteria.
How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?
Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.
Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?
Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.
Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?
Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your NIH RePORTER (Research Funding) MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
