Find the companies that won US or UK public contracts, grants or SBIR awards in a window.
Government Contract Award Monitor MCP Server
This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server helps find companies that won US or UK public contracts, grants, or SBIR awards within a specified time window. It is identified by the name com.mambabuilt/mcp-public-award-monitor and described as a “Government Contract Award Monitor” for award monitoring and lookup.
🛠️ Key Features
Search for companies with US or UK public contract, grant, or SBIR award wins
Filter results by an awards window (time period)
🚀 Use Cases
Identify award-winning companies for US and UK public funding activities
Monitor SBIR and other public award winners over a defined timeframe
⚡ Developer Benefits
Provides an MCP tool interface for retrieving award-win data by country and time window
⚠️ Limitations
Server data provided only supports description and functionality at the “find companies won awards” level; no additional tool details, topics, or constraints are included.
Pick a register and a time window. It returns the companies that won public work in that window, one flat row per winning company, with award count, total value, awarding body, award date, and a resolved company domain.
Register and window in, the companies that won public work out.
Input
Type
Required
Notes
register
enum
yes
Which award register to read. us_federal_contracts and us_federal_grants from USASpending, us_nih_sbir from NIH RePORTER, uk_contracts_finder and uk_find_a_tender from the UK registers. Default us_federal_contracts.
window_days
string
no
How many days back from today to read awards for, 1 to 90. US federal data lags about two days, so do not use a one day window on the US registers. Default 7.
min_award_value
string
no
Drops awards below this amount in the register's own currency. Set to 0 to keep everything. Default 100000.
max_entities
string
no
Hard cap on billed rows, 1 to 1000. Winners are sorted by total award value, and the run log says how many were dropped. Default 100.
exclude_government_recipients
boolean
no
Drops winners that are themselves government, universities, or public authorities. Leave this on for the grant registers or you get state departments of education instead of companies. Default true.
resolve_domains
boolean
no
Looks up each winner's website. Turning it off makes the run roughly 20x faster and returns recipient_domain as null with domain_statusnot_attempted. Default true.
domain_confidence_floor
enum
no
strict, standard or loose. Strict returns fewer domains and almost no wrong ones. Loose returns the most domains and about a third of them are wrong. Default standard.
Reading the output
One row per winning company, not one per award. total_award_value, largest_award_value and award_count_in_window size the opportunity. recipient_register_id is the UEI in the US and the Companies House number in the UK, which is what you match against a CRM. latest_award_url is the deep link to the source record.
Billing
You are charged per winning company returned, plus a small actor start fee. max_entities is therefore a hard cost cap.
Pricing is on the actor's Apify page. Running this server consumes Apify credits.
What this server does and does not do
It is a thin client for the Apify actor. It passes your input through and returns the actor's output unchanged. Every behavior described above lives in the actor, not here.
This is not a tender feed and not a procurement pipeline tool. It does not tell you what is open to bid on. It reports awards that have already been made and names the company that won.
Errors are surfaced, never swallowed. An invalid input, an invalid token, an exhausted balance, a timeout, or a run that returns anything other than a dataset all come back as an explicit tool error rather than as an empty result.
