Panda Public Funding Tools

Give Claude, Cursor or any MCP client 8 US federal money and filings tools: grants, contract awards and recompetes, SBIR/STTR topics, SEC financials, clinical trials, Federal Register, recalls and VIN decode. Each tool runs one public-data Apify Actor on your own Apify account and is priced per result. Part of the Panda Federation toolkit (36 tools in four focused servers).

How to use this

uvx panda-public-funding-tools
  1. Get a free Apify token at console.apify.com/settings/integrations (the free plan includes $5 of monthly credit) and install uv.
  2. Add the server to your MCP client: command uvx, args ["panda-public-funding-tools"], env APIFY_TOKEN (Cursor JSON below).
  3. Ask in plain words, e.g. "Find open federal grants on wildfire sensors and the contracts in that NAICS ending in the next six months." Start with one or two inputs and read the summary / agentSummary line before widening.
{"mcpServers": {"panda-public-funding-tools": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["panda-public-funding-tools"], "env": {"APIFY_TOKEN": "apify_api_YOUR_TOKEN"}}}}
