GovToolsPro
The GovToolsPro MCP server provides decision-support tools for federal contractors throughout the contracting lifecycle, offering synthesized insights rather than raw data.
Credit & Subscription Check (
balance): View your current credit balance, total credits used, and subscription status (free).Solicitation Retrieval (
get_solicitation): Fetch structured SAM.gov data by notice ID or solicitation number, including title, NAICS, PSC, set-aside, place of performance, deadlines, contacts, and attachment links.Go/No-Go Scoring (
score_go_no_go): Score a solicitation 0–100 against your company profile with hard-blocker detection (CMMC gaps, set-aside ineligibility, geographic constraints) and a GO / NO-GO / REVIEW recommendation.Incumbent Identification (
find_incumbents): Identify the current incumbent via USAspending and FPDS, including award value, competition signals, and anticipated next-award date.Teaming Partner Search (
find_partners_near): Find nearby businesses matching a capability keyword near a place of performance, ranked by proximity with contact details.Recompete Prediction (
predict_recompete): Discover expiring contracts filtered by NAICS, PSC, state, and value, enriched with option-exercise and competition signals.Navy NECO Lookup (
lookup_neco_data): Parse Navy NECO solicitations into structured fields (title, NSN/line items, deadline, buyer contact, document links).Labor Rate Benchmarking (
lookup_labor_rates): Get GSA CALC ceiling rates and BLS OEWS wages with a +55% government wrap estimate for a NAICS or labor category.Award Pattern Analysis (
analyze_award_patterns): Analyze award-size distribution, competition mix, bid intensity, contract vehicles, and pricing types. Costs 3 credits.Market Intelligence (
analyze_market): Get a full market snapshot for a NAICS — 5-year spending trends, top contractors, HHI concentration, set-aside mix, geographic distribution, and contract vehicle usage. Costs 5 credits.
GovToolsPro MCP Server
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 |
| free | Credit balance + subscription status. |
| 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. |
| free | Score a solicitation GO / NO-GO (0–100) against your company profile, with hard-blocker detection (CMMC, geographic, set-aside). |
| free | Identify the current incumbent via USAspending + FPDS, with competition signals and anticipated next-award date. |
| free | Rank nearby teaming partners / subcontractors by proximity for a place of performance. |
| free | Discover expiring contracts (recompete opportunities) by NAICS/PSC/state/value, enriched with option-exercise signals. |
| free | Parse a Navy NECO (neco.navy.mil) solicitation into structured fields. No other govcon MCP has this. |
| free | Benchmark federal labor rates for a NAICS / labor category — GSA CALC awarded ceiling rates + BLS OEWS wages with a government wrap estimate. |
| 3 credits | How contracts in a NAICS are awarded: award-size distribution, competition mix, bid intensity, contract vehicles, pricing types. |
| 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, …):
{
"mcpServers": {
"govtoolspro": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "govtoolspro-mcp-server"],
"env": { "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY": "gtp_live_..." }
}
}
}Get an API key
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.
Remote MCP URL:
https://mcp.govtoolspro.com/api/mcpIn 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.comto 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.

Local development
npm install

# end-to-end stdio smoke test against the live API
GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY=gtp_test_... npm run smokeTo point a client at your local build:
{

"args": ["/absolute/path/to/govtoolspro-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": { "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY": "gtp_test_..." }
}Notes
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.
