extract_gov_landscape
Read-only
Analyze government tech contractors by querying federal contracts, GitHub activity, Hacker News discussions, and product changelogs to assess market position, development pace, and developer community awareness.
Instructions
Composite government intelligence tool. Given a company name, keyword, or NAICS code, simultaneously queries: (1) USASpending.gov for federal contract awards, (2) GitHub for the company's repo activity, (3) Hacker News for developer community awareness, and (4) their product changelog for release velocity. Answers: Who is winning government contracts in this space? Are they actually building? Does the dev community know about them? Returns a unified 4-source timestamped report. Unique — not available in any other MCP server.
