With Grant Orb switched on, talk to your AI like a teammate. Type in plain English:
›"Set up my organization"
Do this first — better profile, better matches.
›"Find grants for us"
Pulls funding matched to your organization.
›"Write our application for these questions: [paste them]"
Drafts a full, funder-aligned proposal.
›"Set up my supplier passport, then show me the RFPs I match"
For government contracts.
The first time it runs a task, your AI may ask you to confirm. Say yes.
For technical users
Prefer the terminal or a config file? Grant Orb runs as a remote MCP server at https://app.grantorb.com/mcp. The first call opens a browser to sign in and
approve — no tokens to manage.
