InsForge setup (MCP)

Use MCP tools for infrastructure:

1. Deploy schema

• Apply src/lib/schema.sql using run-raw-sql.

2. Create storage bucket

• Create a private artifacts bucket using create-bucket.

3. Create scheduled ingestion function

• Function file: insforge/functions/scout-grants.js
• Create function with create-function (slug scout-grants).
• Schedule it every 30 minutes in the InsForge dashboard.
  • Suggested cron: */30 * * * *

Grant ingestion

• Manual refresh: click “Run Grant Scout” on the Grants page.
• API: POST /api/ai/scout with x-api-key: INGEST_API_KEY for scheduled/automation calls.
• Sources list: src/data/grant_sources.json (100+ sources).

Collaborator directory seeding

• Seed from OpenAlex via POST /api/collaborators/seed (login or x-api-key).
• Includes Arizona State University + additional top research universities.

Common commands

• npm run dev — start dev server
• npm run build — production build
• npm run lint — linting

Notes

• AI models are resolved through InsForge model gateway.
• RLS is not enabled by default; add policies as needed before production.
• For private storage buckets, artifact URLs are signed on request.
