Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 470 ms.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 17 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 462 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 469 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    2 of 2 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Pass
    Stable tool list

    No tool was removed and no required parameter was added in the last 30 days.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    49 of 49 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-10-26T13:49:43.6117Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 17

check_exclusions

Check 1 to 20 identities against a dated active SAM snapshot. Pass identities as an array of objects, not a record ID or page URL. Each identity needs a name, UEI, CAGE, or NPI. Exact identifier matches and name-only possible matches remain distinct. Read coverage.freshness; stale or unknown-source empty lookups report unavailable with snapshot_status no_match_in_snapshot. No match is not clearance.

Discovered
create_saved_search

Create one private saved opportunity search with the supplied name and criteria. Requires authenticated workspace access and explicit user intent. Creates an account workspace if needed and adds a search without replacing existing searches. Returns a private feed link. The first successful check establishes a baseline; no email or external notification is sent.

Discovered
delete_saved_search

Permanently delete one saved search owned by the authenticated private workspace, including its baseline, retained change events and feed link. Requires explicit user intent; does not delete other searches or public records.

Discovered
delete_saved_search_workspace

Permanently delete the authenticated private saved-search workspace and all its searches, baselines, change events and feed links. Requires explicit user intent to delete the entire workspace. Does not delete the GovGazette login account, public records or another workspace.

Discovered
detail

Retrieve a known public identifier. Supply generation from search for a consistent result.

Discovered
document

Read bounded official record text by known identifier. Does not fetch arbitrary URLs or paths.

Discovered
exclusion_changes

Compare two retained snapshots. No longer observed does not mean reinstated; enrichment-only changes are excluded.

Discovered
exclusion_context

Retrieve an exclusion with agency explanation, named restriction references, source evidence, explicit source-age warnings and supported business links.

Discovered
explain_match

Explain deterministic primary NAICS overlap between a registered vendor and opportunity. Not an eligibility determination.

Discovered
freshness

Report actual source dates, coverage, record counts and SHA256 provenance.

Discovered
get_saved_search_events

Read the latest 100 retained change observations for one saved search owned by the authenticated private workspace. Does not change the search. Retention and missing intermediate observations are explicit; observations are not proof of delivered notifications.

Discovered
list_saved_searches

List the saved opportunity searches in the authenticated private workspace, including criteria, status and change counts. Does not change searches. Requires workspace Authorization headers on /mcp or account OAuth on /account/mcp; never accept keys in tool arguments.

Discovered
research_opportunity

Build a cited research brief with retained notice requirements, exact award-number candidates and same-industry comparisons. Does not infer an incumbent or eligibility.

Discovered
rotate_saved_search_feed

Replace the private feed link for one saved search owned by the authenticated workspace, immediately revoking its previous link. Requires explicit user intent. Does not delete the search or its events. Keep the replacement link private; a lost response may mean the link changed and cannot be recovered by listing searches.

Discovered
search

Search public opportunities, vendors, awards, exclusions, or reference collections. Results include provenance and a generation-pinned cursor.

Discovered
search_exclusions

Filter active exclusion records by agency, program, classification, geography and dates. Preserve the returned cursor and generation. Read coverage.freshness for source age and warnings; results are dated evidence, not clearance.

Discovered
search_opportunities

Find official opportunity records by keywords, industry, set-aside, state, agency and source status. Active does not imply the deadline is open.
