Anlyon alternative
Run the operations that matter as governed actions.
Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.
Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.

Grouped by what each tool does, most consequential first. Open one for its reasons and full description; descriptions are the publisher's own words.

get_grant_detailsGet the full Grants.gov record for one federal grant opportunity by its numeric opportunity ID (from search_grants), its funding opportunity number, or its Grants.gov URL.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "get_grant_details" says "get": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
- untrusted-inputThe description's first sentence says "get" and "url": it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
Description, as the server wrote it Get the full Grants.gov record for one federal grant opportunity by its numeric opportunity ID (from search_grants), its funding opportunity number, or its Grants.gov URL. Returns the description, eligibility text, eligible applicant types, award floor and ceiling, total funding, expected number of awards, cost-sharing, open and close dates (or forecast dates), agency contact, assistance listing numbers and how to apply. Use when the user asks about a specific grant, whether they qualify, or how to apply. Descriptions are clipped; the full announcement on Grants.gov is authoritative.

list_grant_filtersList the valid values for search_grants filters: applicant eligibility types and funding categories (with Grants.gov codes and how many open or forecasted grants each has right now…Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "list_grant_filters" says "list": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it List the valid values for search_grants filters: applicant eligibility types and funding categories (with Grants.gov codes and how many open or forecasted grants each has right now) and federal agencies with their codes. Pass an agency code to also list its sub-agencies. Use to map a user's description of their organization, topic or preferred agency onto valid filter values before searching.
Annotations the server declares

- destructiveHint: false

search_grantsSearch open (posted) or upcoming (forecasted) US federal grant opportunities on Grants.gov by keyword, applicant eligibility type, funding category and agency.Reads text others writeNo findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "search_grants" says "search": a word for reading.
What it can reach
- untrusted-inputThe server marks it openWorldHint: true: it reaches things outside the server's own data.
Description, as the server wrote it Search open (posted) or upcoming (forecasted) US federal grant opportunities on Grants.gov by keyword, applicant eligibility type, funding category and agency. Returns each grant's title, opportunity number, agency, open and close dates, award floor and ceiling, eligible applicant types and Grants.gov link, sorted by soonest close date by default (among the 30 best keyword matches when a keyword is given). Use when the user wants to find federal grants for an organization, project or topic. Covers federal grants listed on Grants.gov only, not state, local, foundation or corporate grants. Eligibility filtering uses Grants.gov's applicant-type codes; always confirm eligibility with get_grant_details or the full announcement.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
Exfil surface
Which tools read private data, which read text someone else can write, and which can send data out. One of each is a path a prompt injection can use.
No private-data, untrusted-input, outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data or outbound.
- Reads private data0
- Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories.
- Reads text others write3
- Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments.
- Can send data out0
- Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL.
Other servers in the same agent add their own tools to these paths. Audit your whole setup to see them together.

Findings
Matches of fixed checks, with the text they matched.
No check matched anything in these tool definitions. That is not a safety guarantee.
History
Changes to its tool definitions and to its remote endpoint, newest first.
No change seen yet. Its tools are rescanned every day, and a remote endpoint is looked at once a week.
Install
Pinned to version 1.0.0. Values in angle brackets are yours to fill in.
claude mcp add --transport http grantscout https://grantscout.salesup.workers.dev/mcpclaude mcp add --transport http grantscout https://grantscout.salesup.workers.dev/mcpRun in a terminal.
Claude Code permissions
Allow the reads, ask before a change or a way out, deny the deletes. Paste into .claude/settings.json.
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
"mcp__grantscout__search_grants",
"mcp__grantscout__get_grant_details",
"mcp__grantscout__list_grant_filters"
],
"ask": [],
"deny": []
}
}Tools that only read are allowed, tools that change things ask first, tools that delete or cancel are denied. A read that can send data out (it takes a URL, say) asks first too. It assumes the server is installed as grantscout. Review it before you use it.

Pin
Keep the decision: fail CI when the tools change, follow every change, or show a badge.
