What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • search_listings

    Search live GSA federal-surplus auction listings (facts only — no images). Filter by state, category, keyword, price, or distance from a US ZIP code. Works signed out (up to 25 rows per page). Raw listings cover sanctioned federal sources; sold-price comps span the full market.

  • get_listing

    Get one live GSA listing by its id (facts only). Works signed out.

  • get_sold_comps

    Sold-price comps for a described item, computed across the full government-surplus market in any market listed in `country`. Signed out: coverage (how many comparable sales, confidence, a coarse price band) plus `categoryStats`, the 25th/median/75th percentile of every sale in th

  • get_sold_comps_batch

    get_sold_comps for a list of items in one call. Each query is either a string ('2015 Ford F-150') or an object with its own q/category/country/state. Each item costs one valuation lookup, exactly as if sent alone; an item that comes back without a range is not charged. If the mon

  • get_flip_score

    GovAuctions Flip Score resale signal for one live lot, from any source, in any market with sold-price comps (valued against that market's comp archive): estimated value, effective bid, discount, and the link to the lot on its source site. Pass the lot id as it appears in a govauc

  • get_sold_history

    The individual archived sales behind an item: title, final price, sale month and state, plus the range they produce. Use when you want the evidence rather than just the number. Query-anchored — describe an item; there is no way to list the archive. Requires sign-in or an API key.

  • get_price_trend

    Month-by-month median sale price for an item, plus the first-to-last change — 'is this category softening?'. Computed from the same comps as get_sold_comps, so it never contradicts that range. Returns an empty series when too few months clear the sample threshold. Requires sign-i

  • get_comp_coverage

    How much sold-price data we hold per category for a market, and which categories can never be priced. Check this before building on the comps tools — it is the honest answer about what we cannot do. Works signed out.

  • get_api_usage

    This key's usage for the current month: total calls and the separate valuation allowance (which comps, sold history, trend and flip-score draw down), plus the reset date. Call it to pace a long run instead of hitting a 429 mid-task. Every other signed-in tool result already carri

Common questions

Is govauctions.app safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 36 days ago, and the latest version (1.0.3) reached the registry 36 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?

GovAuctions MCP server

GovAuctions.app is a free public site for finding government surplus auctions: live listings from GSA and other government sellers, alongside what comparable lots actually sold for. This repo is its MCP server, a second front door onto the same data for agents and code.

Agent-callable tools for government-surplus auction data: search live listings, pull real sold-price comps from 170,000+ closed government auctions in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and get a 0–100 Flip Score resale signal, from the same engine behind the site.

Tools

Eight tools on the hosted server, all read-only. The local npm package exposes the first four.

ToolWhat it does
search_listingsSearch live GSA federal-surplus listings (facts only). Filter by state, category, keyword, price.
get_listingFetch one live GSA listing by id.
get_sold_compsSold-price range (25th / median / 75th percentile) for a described item, across the US, UK, CA or AU government-surplus market.
get_flip_scoreFlip Score resale signal for a listing: estimated value, effective bid, and discount.
get_sold_historyThe individual archived sales behind a comp number.
get_price_trendMonth-by-month sold-price trend for a described item.
get_comp_coverageWhat can and cannot be priced, by category and market.
get_api_usageYour key's usage against its monthly allowance.

Get an API key (free tier available) at https://govauctions.app/developers.

Use it (two ways)

1. Hosted (remote), no install. Recommended.

Point any client that speaks remote MCP at the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint:

{

"mcpServers": { "govauctions": { "url": "https://govauctions.app/api/mcp" } } }

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http govauctions https://govauctions.app/api/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer gak_YOUR_KEY"

get_sold_comps answers on the hosted endpoint with no key at all; the other tools read your key from the request. See the developer docs.

2. Local (stdio) via npx

For clients that cannot add a remote MCP URL. A dependency-free Node wrapper (Node 18+) over the REST Data API, published to npm as govauctions-mcp:

{

"mcpServers": { "govauctions": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "govauctions-mcp"], "env": { "GOVAUCTIONS_API_KEY": "gak_your_key" } } } }

Or download govauctions-mcp.mjs and run it with node /absolute/path/to/govauctions-mcp.mjs.

Config (env):

  • GOVAUCTIONS_API_KEY: required. Your key from https://govauctions.app/developers/keys
  • GOVAUCTIONS_API_BASE: optional. Defaults to https://govauctions.app/api/v1

The local wrapper forwards every call to the REST API, so unlike the hosted server it needs a key for every tool, including get_sold_comps.

API

The tools wrap the public REST Data API. OpenAPI spec: https://govauctions.app/api/v1/openapi.json
