⚠️ Limitations
Readme excerpt indicates limited inline documentation in the snippet
Server data scope focused on governance and procurement contexts; broader use requires extension
An MCP server that gives Claude (and any MCP client) workflow tools for federal contractors — not raw data access, but decisions: go/no-go scoring, incumbent intelligence, teaming-partner search, recompete prediction, Navy NECO lookup, SAM.gov solicitation retrieval, and market intelligence (labor rates, award patterns, market analysis).
It wraps the live GovToolsPro API. You bring an API key; the server proxies your calls.
Tools
Tool
Cost
What it does
balance
free
Credit balance + subscription status.
get_solicitation
free
Notice ID (or solicitation number) → structured SAM.gov fields (NAICS, PSC, set-aside, place of performance, deadline, contacts, attachment links). The workflow entry point.
score_go_no_go
free
Score a solicitation GO / NO-GO (0–100) against your company profile, with hard-blocker detection (CMMC, geographic, set-aside).
find_incumbents
free
Identify the current incumbent via USAspending + FPDS, with competition signals and anticipated next-award date.
find_partners_near
free
Rank nearby teaming partners / subcontractors by proximity for a place of performance.
predict_recompete
free
Discover expiring contracts (recompete opportunities) by NAICS/PSC/state/value, enriched with option-exercise signals.
lookup_neco_data
free
Parse a Navy NECO (neco.navy.mil) solicitation into structured fields. No other govcon MCP has this.
lookup_labor_rates
free
Benchmark federal labor rates for a NAICS / labor category — GSA CALC awarded ceiling rates + BLS OEWS wages with a government wrap estimate.
analyze_award_patterns
3 credits
How contracts in a NAICS are awarded: award-size distribution, competition mix, bid intensity, contract vehicles, pricing types.
analyze_market
5 credits
Market-intelligence snapshot for a NAICS: 5-year spend trend, industry size, top contractors + HHI concentration, set-aside mix, geography, contract vehicles.
Every tool returns decision-support output with a disclaimer — verify against the official solicitation before relying on results. Credits are drawn from the shared GovToolsPro pool (extension + API + connector all bill the same balance); free tools never deduct.
Install
Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Zed, …):
Create a key in the GovToolsPro extension → Profile → API Keys tab (format gtp_live_... / gtp_test_...).
Use as a Claude connector (remote MCP)
Prefer not to run anything locally? GovToolsPro is also a hosted remote MCP server you can add to Claude as a connector — no install, no API key, sign in with your GovToolsPro account.
In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL, and leave the OAuth fields blank (the server self-registers via Dynamic Client Registration).
You'll be sent to auth.govtoolspro.com to sign in; Claude then connects over OAuth 2.1. Toggle the connector on in a conversation to use its tools.
The same 10 tools are available over the connector, billed against the same shared credit balance as the extension and the stdio package.

Workflow MCP, not a data wrapper. Competing govcon MCPs return raw SAM.gov/FPDS JSON; these tools return synthesized decisions.
CUI safety. The API rejects content with CUI / FOUO / Distribution-Statement markings; those rejections surface to the client as clear errors. Do not submit controlled content.
No warranty. Output is decision support only — not legal, contractual, or award-outcome advice.
Troubleshooting
Symptom
Cause / fix
Out of credits / 402
Three tools are metered (analyze_market 5, analyze_award_patterns 3). Check balance, or top up at govtoolspro.com. Free tools never deduct.
Connector keeps asking you to sign in / 401
The remote connector requires OAuth — complete sign-in at auth.govtoolspro.com, then toggle the connector on in the conversation ("Search and tools").
No data for this NAICS (502)
That NAICS has no federal activity in the window — you are not charged. Try a broader NAICS or fewer filters.
CUI rejection error
The API rejects content marked CUI / FOUO / Distribution-Statement. Remove controlled content and retry.
get_solicitation returns nothing
Use the 32-char notice ID from the sam.gov/opp/<id>/view URL. Some archived/cancelled notices may be unavailable.
Invalid API key (stdio)
Ensure GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY is a gtp_live_… / gtp_test_… key from the extension's Profile → API Keys tab.
