Available tools 4

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

awards
search_awards
Direct live search of US federal awards (USAspending.gov) by NAICS, agency, recipient, keyword, date range, and $ range. Use for ad-hoc lookups.
competitor
competitor_watch
Given a contractor name, return their recent federal awards (last 180d live) plus any win/lose/modify events the feed has accrued over time.
delta
delta_digest
Weekly delta digest for a filter: new awards, modifications, and contracts EXPIRING in the next N days (recompete opportunities). Best signal for BD teams.
whats
whats_changed_since
Return federal contract awards that are NEW or MODIFIED since a cursor token. Pass the cursor from a prior call to get only changes since then (cursor = your bookmark). Filter by NAICS, awarding agency, recipient/contractor, keyword, and $ range. This is the GovCon delta feed's core lock-in primitive.

Govcon Feed — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Govcon Feed do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: competitor_watch, delta_digest, search_awards, whats_changed_since. 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 Govcon Feed 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 97 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Govcon Feed?
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 Govcon Feed need an API key?
No. Govcon Feed completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Govcon Feed?
It answers our handshake in 97 ms on average, which is faster than 93% 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.
