grant
grant-api-30-day-pass

newsroom
newsroom_get_writer_job
Read the status, private draft, and independent gate result for one Owner Studio writer job owned by the authenticated Site owner.

Publish one private Owner Studio draft only after editorial review. The server rechecks the independent gate, unresolved warnings, seven-day freshness, duplicate clearance, and revision integrity before making the article public.
newsroom_submit_local_packet
Submit a complete, locally researched packet through Owner Studio local mode. This does not use the provider-backed drafter or publisher. The Site processes the owner’s local job directly and returns its latest status. Use a new UUID idempotencyKey for each packet and reuse it only for an exact retry. Do not submit a replacement or published-story revision through this tool.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Genuine Good Grants mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around federal, grant and newsroom. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Genuine Good Grants working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 328 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Genuine Good Grants?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Genuine Good Grants need an API key?
No. Genuine Good Grants completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Genuine Good Grants?
It answers our handshake in 328 ms on average, which is faster than 43% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Genuine Good Grants open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at genuinegood.online, which runs on its operator's own terms.
