What the code does

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Runs an external command deploy/gsa-perdiem/parity/run.ts:34 
  execFileSync(PYTHON, [join(ROOT, "deploy/gsa-perdiem/parity/build_corpus.py")], {cwd: PACKAGE, env: pythonEnv, stdio: ["ignore", "ignore", "inherit"]});

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check SAM.gov every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

data
get_data_status
Report source file names and dates, load times, row counts and coverage limitations for public opportunities, entity registrations and exclusions. Includes opportunity counts by type and last-load changes. Use it to judge how current results are.
entities
search_entities
Answer SAM registration and socioeconomic questions: women-owned/WOSB/EDWOSB, veteran-owned/SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), and small business. Search the monthly public extract by UEI, CAGE, name, NAICS and state; filters combine. any_naics includes secondary codes. Search defaults Active; UEI/CAGE includes inactive. Use the labeled business or SBA code filters below. For NAICS-specific small-business status, request assertions or All and check sbaSmallBusiness; 2X means for-profit, not small. Codes and active registration do not prove current SBA certification; check certificationExitDate and confirm SBA/SAM.gov status. Public-display opt-outs are excluded. Up to 10 records/page.
exclusions
search_exclusions
Check SAM.gov public exclusion/debarment records by UEI, CAGE, or name. Filters combine. Searches the dated public extract, which is not a complete exclusion history; inactive or terminated historical records may be absent. Every result identifies the source file and date. No matches in the extract is not a live clearance or eligibility determination; confirm current status on SAM.gov.
opportunities
search_opportunities
Search active SAM.gov contract opportunity notices: solicitations, combined synopses, presolicitations, sources sought, special notices, award notices, and justifications. All filters combine. Keyword search covers titles and full descriptions. By default, only the latest version of each amended notice is included. Notices whose response deadline has passed are left out, except award notices and justifications; notices with no deadline are also included. Set include_past_deadlines to true to include other past-deadline notices. Results are sorted by soonest deadline, with notices that have no deadline last. Returns up to 100 notices per call with the total match count; use offset to page. Use get_opportunity for a notice's full description and contacts. Data is SAM.gov's public daily file of active notices, not live SAM.gov. Archived notices and attachments are not included.
opportunity
get_opportunity
Get one SAM.gov notice in full: description, response deadline, set-aside, NAICS and PSC codes, place of performance, contracting office, points of contact, award details for award notices, and the public sam.gov link. Also lists other active notices with the same solicitation number, such as earlier versions, amendments, or awards (with awardee and amount). Pass the 32-character notice ID from search results, or a solicitation number (returns its most recently posted current notice, preferring the solicitation over award notices and justifications). Attachments are not retrieved; open the sam.gov link for them.
summarize
summarize_opportunities
Count active SAM.gov notices grouped by agency, sub-tier, office, NAICS, PSC, set-aside, notice type, place-of-performance state, contracting office state, or posted month. Accepts the same filters as search_opportunities, e.g. counts of open solicitations under one NAICS by set-aside, or which agencies posted the most sources sought notices this quarter. Counts cover active notices in SAM.gov's public daily file, including notices posted in earlier fiscal years that remain active. This is not a complete historical archive; archived notices are not included.

SAM.gov — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SAM.gov do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_data_status, get_opportunity, search_entities, search_exclusions, search_opportunities, summarize_opportunities. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is SAM.gov working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 115 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect SAM.gov?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does SAM.gov need an API key?
No. SAM.gov completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is SAM.gov?
It answers our handshake in 115 ms on average, which is faster than 89% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is SAM.gov open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 28 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at sam.1102tools.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
