- Remote endpoint: https://mcp.netgrant.ca/mcp

## Tools
- search_opportunities - Search Canadian funding opportunities (grants, competitions, accelerators, tax credits, wage subsidies, loans, events). Returns JSON.

WHEN TO CALL:
- The user asks about Canadian funding, grants, competitions, accelerators, or pitch programs
- The user mentions their startup/business and wants opportunities relevant to it
- The user wants to see what's available in a specific province or category

WHEN NOT TO CALL:
- General questions about how grants work (answer from your own knowledge)
- Non-Canadian opportunities (this database is Canada-only)
- Specific opportunity by ID (use get_opportunity_details instead)

HOW TO PRESENT RESULTS:
- Render as a markdown table with columns: Title, Funder, Deadline, Funding, Region, Link
- Sort by deadline ascending unless the user asked otherwise
- For each opportunity, infer fit using what you know about the user's startup from the conversation. Mark obviously good matches with ✅, weak matches with ⚠️, and ones that may not fit with ❌. Be honest — do not mark everything ✅.
- If a deadline is within 14 days, prefix the row with 🚨.
- Always include the URL as a clickable markdown link.
- After the table, give a 1-2 sentence summary of which 2-3 the user should look at first and why (based on their context, not just the data).
- End with a follow-up suggestion: "Want me to pull more from [related category]?" or "Want me to draft an outline for [top match]?"

DATA NOTES:
- "Rolling" deadline means no fixed close date.
- Funding amount may be a range or "varies".
- Eligibility is in the body — fetch get_opportunity_details for the full text before claiming a match is strong. Endpoint: https://mcp.netgrant.ca/mcp
- get_opportunity_details - Fetch full details for a single opportunity by ID. Use this after search_opportunities when:
- The user wants to know more about a specific match
- You need the full eligibility text to confirm a strong-match claim
- The user wants to draft an application — you need the requirements

The response includes all fields including the full body text and eligibility criteria. Present the eligibility as a checklist when relevant. Endpoint: https://mcp.netgrant.ca/mcp
