Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

calculate

calculate_score

Scores a proposed consortium against a target Horizon Europe pillar using 6 evidence-based features (V1 — max 75/100). Returns score with full factor breakdown including keyword/topic overlap.

grants

search_grants

Full-text search across 27,000+ Horizon Europe projects. Returns ranked results with title, budget, start date, and an objective snippet.

matching

find_matching_grants

Find EU Horizon grants matching a description of your organisation or project. Returns top grants with budget, timeline, coordinator, and topic code. To score a specific consortium against any result, use calculate_score with org IDs from find_partners.

open

find_open_calls

PAID. Full-text search across all currently OPEN Horizon Europe calls (future deadline — still actionable, not yet applied to). Complements search_grants, which only covers past, already-funded projects. Ranked by relevance, filterable by pillar and days-to-deadline. Requires payment via x402; call without payment first to receive the terms.

partners

find_partners

Suggests organisations with the most prior wins in a given research topic. Optionally filtered by country.

project

get_project_detail

Navigrants — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Navigrants do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: calculate_score, find_matching_grants, find_open_calls, find_partners, get_project_detail, search_grants. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Navigrants working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 88 of 91 checks got a reply (96.7%), average response time 242 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Navigrants?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Navigrants need an API key?

No. Navigrants completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Navigrants?

It answers our handshake in 242 ms on average, which is faster than 64% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
