# Japan Subsidy Search MCP — 日本の補助金・助成金検索

**Give your AI agent real-time access to Japanese government subsidies and grants.**

This MCP server searches the official Japanese government subsidy database ([jGrants](https://www.jgrants-portal.go.jp/), operated by the Digital Agency) in real time. Perfect for AI agents serving SMEs, accountants, administrative scriveners (行政書士), and consultants working with the Japanese market.

## Why this server?

Japan runs thousands of subsidy programs — national, prefectural, and municipal — but the data is fragmented and Japanese-only. Foreign AI tools are effectively blind to it. This server makes the entire live database queryable by any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, ChatGPT, custom agents).

## Tools

### `search_subsidies`
Search open subsidy programs by keyword and prefecture. Returns results sorted by application deadline with:
- **Days until deadline** (computed automatically)
- Maximum grant amount (formatted, e.g. "5億円" / "3,500万円")
- Direct link to the official application page
- When a prefecture filter yields zero hits, automatically reports matching programs in other regions so your agent can offer alternatives

### `get_subsidy_detail`
Retrieve full details by subsidy ID: purpose, eligibility requirements, subsidy rate, application rounds with current deadlines, and contact information — converted from rich-text HTML into clean, LLM-ready plain text.

## Example queries your agent can now answer

- 「東京都の会社で使える省エネ補助金、締切が近い順に教えて」
- "Find manufacturing subsidies open for applications in Osaka with deadlines this quarter"
- 「創業支援の補助金で、従業員10人以下でも申請できるものは?」

## Data source & freshness

Official jGrants API (Digital Agency of Japan). Data is fetched live on every call — no stale caches. This server adds normalization, deadline computation, region merging, and LLM-friendly formatting on top of the raw government data.

## Pricing

Pay per tool call. One search or one detail retrieval = one event. No subscription, no minimum.
