What the Claude Granted connector changes for grant seekers
Grant research usually means many browser tabs: federal portals, state lists, foundation profiles, annual returns. With this connector, you describe your organization and your project to Claude in plain words, and it queries Granted's database itself, opens the grants and funders worth a closer look, and brings the findings back into the conversation.
A shortlist of open calls. A development director at a rural health nonprofit asks for funding that fits a maternal health program. search_grants looks by topic, funder or eligibility, then get_grant pulls the full details of the promising ones so Claude can compare them side by side.
A funder worth approaching. A small arts charity wants foundations that give in its state. search_funders searches foundations by name, state or giving, and get_funder opens a profile with financials and recent grants, the material Claude needs to judge whether a letter of inquiry makes sense.
A read on the competition. Before a federal application, a research lab asks who has won similar awards. get_past_winners returns federal grant recipients, and Claude summarizes the pattern.
What it does not do: Granted states that all five tools are read-only. Claude does not submit applications, save a search to an account or contact a funder through this connector. The data leans on United States sources, with federal, state and private foundation grants. Nothing runs by itself either: Claude searches when you ask, and no alert goes out when a new grant appears. Recurring watches belong to an automation tool, a different line of work gathered on the Integrations hub.
The vocabulary in one minute
Five words you will run into while adding Granted.
- Connector
- The link you set up once between Claude and an outside service, so Claude can call on it while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named action a connector opens to Claude. Claude decides which ones to use; the directory lists every one of them by name.
- Authorization
- The service's own sign-in screen, where you grant the access Claude will use later. Given once per person, and revocable.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before it completes something that changes an account, shown in the conversation at that point.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as Granted.
Add Granted to Claude in three steps
- 01
Find Granted in Claude
Open Claude's settings, go to Customize then Connectors, and look for Granted in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner has to enable it for the organization before members can connect.
- 02
Start the connection
Click Connect on its row. Granted says its service needs no account and no key, so there may be little or nothing to sign in to. If the link ever breaks, Disconnect it and connect again.
- 03
Check any authorization screen
If an authorization screen does appear, read it before you accept. It belongs to the service, not to Claude, and it is what sets how far the access goes. You can withdraw that access later from the service side as well.
The 5 tools, sorted by what they do
Granted gives Claude 5 tools: 5 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.
All five read data from Granted. Their names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

What Claude reads (5)
5 toolsFive tools that look up grants and funders without touching any account.
search_grants
Looks for open grant opportunities, and you can steer the search by keyword, topic, funder or eligibility so that Claude gets back a list it can sort through with you.
get_grant
Retrieves the full record of one grant, identified by its slug, so Claude can read the details instead of guessing from a one-line summary.
search_funders
Combs through Granted's foundation records by name, by state or by giving, which gives Claude a pool of possible funders rather than single opportunities.
get_funder
Brings up a full foundation profile, with its financials and its recent grants, so Claude can tell you what that funder actually supports.
get_past_winners
Returns recipients of federal grants together with competitive intelligence, which helps Claude show you who tends to win a given program.
What Claude asks before it acts
By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before any action it would carry out on an account for you. Here, Granted describes every tool as read-only, so its sheet shows no change that would need confirming.
On Team and Enterprise, workspace owners decide whether members may let some actions through without being asked every time, and they can limit what any connector may do for the whole organization; nobody overrides that from a personal account. Claude also works with the rights of the person connected and nothing more. With Granted there is no private account content to reach in the first place: the tools query grant and funder data.
Which plans it is available on
Not one of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows plan availability. Connector by connector, that answer is published nowhere: a real gap in the catalogue.
The general rule is published: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables a connector for the organization before members connect. Granted's own page says something narrower, set against that rule in the limits below. For the live status, the Granted sheet in the official directory is the place to check.
Where the Claude Granted connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you; nothing starts on its own when a new grant is published.
Only Granted documents this connector; Claude's help center has no article on it. A sheet that shows nothing but reading is an observed floor, not a promise, because an administrator can open actions that appear on no public sheet. The partner badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic writes on every sheet that it does not choose the tools a publisher exposes or guarantee how they behave. Connect it only if you trust the publisher.
Which Claude plans can use Granted?
- Claude help center, general connector rule ↗September 2026Remote connectors are open to all users; on Team and Enterprise, an Owner must enable each one first.
- Granted's connector page ↗read October 2026, undatedThe publisher says custom connectors are available on Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans, and that Team or Enterprise admins may need to add it org-wide.
What this page followsNeither side settles it for your account. Granted's sentence is about adding the service as a custom connector, while Anthropic's rule covers connectors in the directory. Check the Granted sheet in the directory while signed in to your own account.
