Gov Tenders & Grants MCP

Gov Tenders & Grants MCP: SAM.gov, Grants.gov, USAspending, UK, EU TED

Public-sector opportunity data as MCP tools: US federal contract opportunities (SAM.gov), federal grants (Grants.gov), federal awards (USAspending), UK tenders (Find a Tender, Contracts Finder), EU tenders (TED) and city council agendas and votes (Legistar). Every row carries its official source link.

Hosted remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) on Apify's MCP gateway. Manifest-only repo: no Actor source.

Disclosure: I maintain these Actors on Apify Store (publisher publicrecords).
