How to Compare Grant Programs with OpenClaw
Use OpenClaw and ToolRouter to compare grant programs. Search opportunities and evaluate them side by side.
Tool
Search multiple grant programs and pull full details for a direct comparison. Use `search_opportunities` to find candidates and `opportunity_details` to get the specifics. OpenClaw is best when you want to batch-compare programs across multiple sectors or regions with a stable schema.
Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw
1Install the CLI
npm install -g toolrouter-mcp2Call tools directly from OpenClaw
toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp toolsSteps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Grants Finder tool:
- Define the sectors, geographies, and applicant types you want to compare across.
- Use `grants-finder` with `search_opportunities` to find programs for each combination.
- Run `opportunity_details` on the top candidates and keep field names consistent across batches.
- Review the batch comparisons and narrow down to the programs worth pursuing.
Example Prompt
Try this with OpenClaw using the Grants Finder tool
Use grants-finder to search for climate adaptation funding across the US, UK, and EU for a research institute. Pull the full details for the top 3 programs in each region and compare them with a stable schema so I can evaluate all regions together.
Tips
- Pull opportunity details for at least 3 programs so the comparison is meaningful.
- Lock the output schema before batching so cross-region comparisons are clean.
