GovAuctions MCP server
Agent-callable tools for government-surplus auction data: search live listings, pull real sold-price comps, and get a 0–100 Flip Score resale signal — the same engine behind GovAuctions.
It exposes four read-only tools:
Tool | What it does |
| Search live surplus auction listings (facts only). Filter by country, state, category, source, keyword, price. |
| Fetch one listing by id (live or archived). |
| Sold-price range (25th / median / 75th percentile) for a described item, from past government auctions. |
| Flip Score resale signal for a listing: estimated value, effective bid, and discount. |
All tools are read-only. Get an API key (free tier available) at https://govauctions.app/developers.
Use it (two ways)
1. Hosted (remote) — no install
Point any client that speaks remote MCP at the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint:
{
"mcpServers": {
"govauctions": { "url": "https://govauctions.app/api/mcp" }
}
}get_sold_comps is open on the hosted endpoint; the other three tools read your
key from the request. See the developer docs.
2. Local (stdio) — this file
A dependency-free Node wrapper (Node 18+) over the REST Data API. Download
govauctions-mcp.mjs and add it to your client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"govauctions": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/govauctions-mcp.mjs"],
"env": { "GOVAUCTIONS_API_KEY": "gak_your_key" }
}
}
}Config (env):
GOVAUCTIONS_API_KEY— required. Your key from https://govauctions.app/developers/keysGOVAUCTIONS_API_BASE— optional. Defaults tohttps://govauctions.app/api/v1
