• get_award(award_id) — full record with abstract + outcomes report.

Related MCP server: mcp-opensky

Data source

https://api.nsf.gov/services/v1/awards.json — public, no key required, capped at 25 results per request.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nsf-awards": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/nsf-awards/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Nsf Awards data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
