SummitFlow MCP

Grant management tools for AI agents. Plan backward from a funder deadline, count business days around federal holidays, build a grant budget with indirect on the correct base, and value volunteer and in-kind contributions.

No API key. No account. No network calls. Every tool is a pure function.

Web versions of these tools live at summitflow.co/tools.

Install

Claude Desktop — add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "summitflow": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["summitflow-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or pip install summitflow-mcp. No environment variables required.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
grant_deadline_planWorks backward from a deadline to start-drafting, internal-review and packet-complete dates
grant_lead_timesThe lead times behind that plan, with the reasoning for each
business_days_betweenBusiness days between two dates, skipping weekends and US federal holidays
add_business_daysAdd or subtract business days from a date
federal_holidaysUS federal holidays for a year, with observed dates
grant_budgetFull budget with fringe and indirect calculated on MTDC or TDC
volunteer_time_valueVolunteer hours valued at the published national rate
in_kind_valueTotals donated goods and services at fair market value
summitflow_resourcesFree templates, guides and calculators on the web

Why the details matter

Indirect goes on the right base. grant_budget defaults to Modified Total Direct Cost, which excludes equipment and the portion of each contract above the first $25,000. Applying your rate to total direct costs instead is the most common budget error and it inflates the ask in a way reviewers notice. The tool reports which base it used and what it excluded.

Observed holiday dates, not nominal ones. A federal holiday falling on a Saturday closes offices the Friday before. For a deadline calculation that is the difference between submitting on time and submitting late, so all the date math uses observed dates.

The volunteer rate is cited, not invented. volunteer_time_value defaults to Independent Sector's published national value of volunteer time (2025), and says so in its output, because a match figure you cannot source is a figure you cannot defend. Skilled volunteers doing professional work should be valued at the rate for that work instead.

Deadlines are not plans. grant_deadline_plan returns three earlier dates because those are the ones that go on a calendar with a person's name attached. The deadline itself should be uneventful.
