Security Report

5.8
Moderate5.8Moderate Risk

This is a well-structured MCP server that proxies authenticated calls to the GovToolsPro API. Authentication is required (API key via environment variable), permissions are appropriate for its purpose (network HTTP calls to government contracting APIs), and code quality is good with proper input validation and error handling. No security vulnerabilities or malicious patterns detected. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 2 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

GovToolsPro MCP Server

npm version MCP Registry Glama smithery badge License: MIT

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

ToolCostWhat it does
balancefreeCredit balance + subscription status.
get_solicitationfreeNotice ID (or solicitation number) → structured SAM.gov fields (NAICS, PSC, set-aside, place of performance, deadline, contacts, attachment links). The workflow entry point.
score_go_no_gofreeScore a solicitation GO / NO-GO (0–100) against your company profile, with hard-blocker detection (CMMC, geographic, set-aside).
find_incumbentsfreeIdentify the current incumbent via USAspending + FPDS, with competition signals and anticipated next-award date.
find_partners_nearfreeRank nearby teaming partners / subcontractors by proximity for a place of performance.
predict_recompetefreeDiscover expiring contracts (recompete opportunities) by NAICS/PSC/state/value, enriched with option-exercise signals.
lookup_neco_datafreeParse a Navy NECO (neco.navy.mil) solicitation into structured fields. No other govcon MCP has this.
lookup_labor_ratesfreeBenchmark federal labor rates for a NAICS / labor category — GSA CALC awarded ceiling rates + BLS OEWS wages with a government wrap estimate.
analyze_award_patterns3 creditsHow contracts in a NAICS are awarded: award-size distribution, competition mix, bid intensity, contract vehicles, pricing types.
analyze_market5 creditsMarket-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/mcp
  • In 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.com to 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.

Configuration

Env varRequiredDefault
GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEYyes
GOVTOOLSPRO_API_BASEnohttps://mcp.govtoolspro.com/api/v1/workflows

Local development

npm install
npm run build

# end-to-end stdio smoke test against the live API
GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY=gtp_test_... npm run smoke

To point a client at your local build:

{
  "command": "node",
  "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.

Troubleshooting

SymptomCause / fix
Out of credits / 402Three tools are metered (analyze_market 5, analyze_award_patterns 3). Check balance, or top up at govtoolspro.com. Free tools never deduct.
Connector keeps asking you to sign in / 401The remote connector requires OAuth — complete sign-in at auth.govtoolspro.com, then toggle the connector on in the conversation ("Search and tools").
No data for this NAICS (502)That NAICS has no federal activity in the window — you are not charged. Try a broader NAICS or fewer filters.
CUI rejection errorThe API rejects content marked CUI / FOUO / Distribution-Statement. Remove controlled content and retry.
get_solicitation returns nothingUse the 32-char notice ID from the sam.gov/opp/<id>/view URL. Some archived/cancelled notices may be unavailable.
Invalid API key (stdio)Ensure GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY is a gtp_live_… / gtp_test_… key from the extension's Profile → API Keys tab.
