# SummitFlow MCP
Grant management tools for AI agents. Plan backward from a funder deadline,
count business days around federal holidays, build a grant budget with indirect
on the correct base, and value volunteer and in-kind contributions.
**No API key. No account. No network calls.** Every tool is a pure function.
Web versions of these tools live at [summitflow.co/tools](https://summitflow.co/tools).
## Install
Claude Desktop — add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"summitflow": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["summitflow-mcp"]
}
}
}
```
Or `pip install summitflow-mcp`. No environment variables required.
## Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `grant_deadline_plan` | Works backward from a deadline to start-drafting, internal-review and packet-complete dates |
| `grant_lead_times` | The lead times behind that plan, with the reasoning for each |
| `business_days_between` | Business days between two dates, skipping weekends and US federal holidays |
| `add_business_days` | Add or subtract business days from a date |
| `federal_holidays` | US federal holidays for a year, with observed dates |
| `grant_budget` | Full budget with fringe and indirect calculated on MTDC or TDC |
| `volunteer_time_value` | Volunteer hours valued at the published national rate |
| `in_kind_value` | Totals donated goods and services at fair market value |
| `summitflow_resources` | Free templates, guides and calculators on the web |
## Why the details matter
**Indirect goes on the right base.** `grant_budget` defaults to Modified Total
Direct Cost, which excludes equipment and the portion of each contract above the
first $25,000. Applying your rate to total direct costs instead is the most
common budget error and it inflates the ask in a way reviewers notice. The tool
reports which base it used and what it excluded.
**Observed holiday dates, not nominal ones.** A federal holiday falling on a
Saturday closes offices the Friday before. For a deadline calculation that is
the difference between submitting on time and submitting late, so all the date
math uses observed dates.
**The volunteer rate is cited, not invented.** `volunteer_time_value` defaults
to Independent Sector's published national value of volunteer time (2025), and
says so in its output, because a match figure you cannot source is a figure you
cannot defend. Skilled volunteers doing professional work should be valued at
the rate for that work instead.
**Deadlines are not plans.** `grant_deadline_plan` returns three earlier dates
because those are the ones that go on a calendar with a person's name attached.
The deadline itself should be uneventful.
