Community Funding NZ helps nonprofits, iwi, and community groups discover suitable New Zealand grants from 380+ funders. Search eligibility criteria, funding amounts, regional coverage, deadlines, and application questions, then draft tailored grant applications and track upcoming funding rounds.
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available as a desktop app and in Cowork. It supports custom connectors, so it can call MCP servers directly from a chat.
This guide connects Community Funding NZ MCP to Claude Desktop through MewCP, so Claude Desktop can use Community Funding NZ MCP's 8 tools, like list_filters, search_funders and get_funder.
Community Funding NZ MCP needs no credentials, but every call still runs through MewCP: scoped, checked and logged like any other.

Other clients
Community Funding NZ MCP works the same way in every client below. Pick yours for its own guide.
Free to start.
Scope access to the exact Community Funding NZ MCP tools and accounts you allow, work and personal side by side. Anything outside that scope is refused at call time, even when the model asks for it.
Each call is logged: what ran, on which account, and whether it worked. Failures come back structured, so the agent knows whether to retry instead of guessing.
Every app sits behind one secure MCP URL, and there is no server for you to deploy or keep running. Add an integration in the dashboard and it is live on the next call, with no config to change and no new credentials to wire up. Tools load only when a task needs them, so your agent stays fast and focused however many apps you connect.
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, then choose Add custom connector.
Name it "mewcp" and paste the URL.
A browser window opens the first time the client connects. Sign in and approve access. No API key needed.

Search New Zealand community grant funders. Returns up to 25 compact rows per call with a total count; use offset to page. Combine filters: region (slug from list_filters), org_type, purpose keywords, max_amount in NZD, difficulty. Use get_funder for the full profile of a result.
Full profile for one funder by slug: what they prioritise, language tips, common mistakes, success factors, required documents, application sections, the extracted application form questions, and upcoming funding rounds. Use this before preparing or drafting an application.
Funding rounds whose closing date falls within the next N days (default 30, max 180), soonest first. Optional region filter (slug from list_filters). Dates are New Zealand dates. Always confirm the date on the funder's own site before relying on it.
Funding rounds whose opening date falls within the next N days (default 60, max 180), soonest first. Optional region filter (slug from list_filters). Useful for planning applications ahead of time. Dates are New Zealand dates. Always confirm the date on the funder's own site before relying on it.
Tell us how an application to a funder went. Outcomes are stored for All Too Human to analyse which funders say yes and are never published as-is.
Suggest a New Zealand grant funder that is not in the database. All Too Human researches and reviews suggestions before adding them. Check search_funders first to avoid duplicates. Documentation: https://www.alltoohuman.nz/grants/connect
