Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Workflow tools for federal contractors: go/no-go scoring, incumbent intel, recompete, NECO.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

It passed 1 of 1 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.

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.
| Tool | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
balance | free | Credit balance + subscription status. |
get_solicitation | 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. |
score_go_no_go | free | Score a solicitation GO / NO-GO (0–100) against your company profile, with hard-blocker detection (CMMC, geographic, set-aside). |
find_incumbents | free | Identify the current incumbent via USAspending + FPDS, with competition signals and anticipated next-award date. |
find_partners_near | free | Rank nearby teaming partners / subcontractors by proximity for a place of performance. |
predict_recompete | free | Discover expiring contracts (recompete opportunities) by NAICS/PSC/state/value, enriched with option-exercise signals. |
lookup_neco_data | free | Parse a Navy NECO (neco.navy.mil) solicitation into structured fields. No other govcon MCP has this. |
lookup_labor_rates | free | Benchmark federal labor rates for a NAICS / labor category — GSA CALC awarded ceiling rates + BLS OEWS wages with a government wrap estimate. |
analyze_award_patterns | 3 credits | How contracts in a NAICS are awarded: award-size distribution, competition mix, bid intensity, contract vehicles, pricing types. |
analyze_market | 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.
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_..." } } } }
Create a key in the GovToolsPro extension → Profile → API Keys tab (format gtp_live_... / gtp_test_...).
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.
https://mcp.govtoolspro.com/api/mcpThe same 10 tools are available over the connector, billed against the same shared credit balance as the extension and the stdio package.
| Env var | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|
GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY | yes | — |
GOVTOOLSPRO_API_BASE | no | https://mcp.govtoolspro.com/api/v1/workflows |
npm install
npm run build
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_..." } }
| Symptom | Cause / fix |
|---|---|
| `Out of credits` / 402 | Three 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 / 401 | The 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 error | The API rejects content marked CUI / FOUO / Distribution-Statement. Remove controlled content and retry. |
| `get_solicitation` returns nothing | Use the 32-char notice ID from the sam.gov/opp/ /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. |
