Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Workflow tools for federal contractors: go/no-go scoring, incumbent intel, recompete, NECO.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY, GOVTOOLSPRO_API_BASE

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "govtoolspro": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "govtoolspro-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_BASE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add govtoolspro --env GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY=your-value --env GOVTOOLSPRO_API_BASE=your-value -- npx -y govtoolspro-mcp-server

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "govtoolspro": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "govtoolspro-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_BASE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "govtoolspro": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "govtoolspro-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_BASE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

    API key from the GovToolsPro extension → Profile → API Keys tab. Format: gtp_live_... or gtp_test_...
  • GOVTOOLSPRO_API_BASE env

Common questions

Is Govtoolspro MCP Server safe?

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.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.3) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

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

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/ /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.
