GovBid Global API — MCP Server

A remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents direct, structured access to U.S. federal contract opportunities sourced from SAM.gov (System for Award Management), the official U.S. government procurement portal.

This server exposes the GovBid Global API data through MCP tools so that any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, other LLM agents, etc.) can search, filter, and retrieve federal bid/opportunity data autonomously.

  • MCP Endpoint: https://govbid-mcp-server.gaikotsuimageprocessing.workers.dev/mcp

  • Data source: SAM.gov Opportunities API (U.S. Government, Public Domain)

  • Update frequency: Daily, automated via GitHub Actions

  • License: MIT

What this server does

GovBid Global API MCP Server acts as a bridge between AI agents and live U.S. federal procurement data. Instead of scraping or manually querying SAM.gov, an AI agent can call this server's tools to:

  • Discover the API's metadata and licensing terms

  • Search recent federal contract opportunities by department, date range, and result limit

  • Retrieve a direct link to the official SAM.gov page for a specific opportunity
