This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

This server publishes 1 more address. The block above uses the one we reach during checks; the full list is under Endpoints below, and the author may intend a particular one for your client.

Available tools 5

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

live
get_live_opportunity_feed
A random sample of 12 records from the curated live feed of open defense/technology opportunities (multi-country, multi-source, deduplicated by country+source). Served entirely from a background-refreshed cache; if the cache is cold the tool returns a retryable 'warming_up' error rather than an empty list. No arguments. Requires a GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key); anonymous callers get an 'unavailable_for_tier' result.
platform
get_platform_stats
Canonical GlobalGov coverage numbers: total and open solicitation counts, countries covered, source systems, languages, vendor counts. Pre-computed nightly and served from cache; if the cache is cold the tool returns a retryable 'computing' error and the refresh is dispatched automatically. No arguments.
related
get_related_solicitations
Up to 5 open solicitations related to a given record slug, matched by country and NAICS code, ordered by nearest deadline. Fast, index-backed lookup. Useful for 'what else is open like this?' FREE tier: a taste of up to 3 related records, capped at ~3 calls per visitor per 24h. A GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key) returns the full related set (up to 5) and lifts the daily cap.
solicitation
get_solicitation
Fetch one full public solicitation record by slug (as returned by search_solicitations / get_live_opportunity_feed) or by UUID. Returns title (original + English), agency, country, value and currency, deadline, published date, status, category, NAICS/CPV codes, source_url, and the full description. Returns error 'not_found' for unknown slugs/ids. FREE tier: returns the FACTUAL record only (the fields above), capped at ~10 opens per visitor per 24h (free_tier=true, opens_remaining; an honest free_tier_limit_reached result when spent). A GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key) additionally returns the AI-generated brief (summary, key requirements, compliance flags) and lifts the daily cap.
solicitations
search_solicitations
Full-text search over government procurement records (solicitations, tenders, RFPs, grants) from 193 countries, whatever language they were published in. Returns up to 20 relevance-ranked results per page with id, title, agency, country_code, value_usd, deadline, status, category, slug and a text snippet. Use the id (always present) — or the slug when set — with get_solicitation for the full record. Terms are matched with OR and ranked by relevance, so a multi-word query ('private 5G network defence') returns the best-matching open opportunities rather than only exact all-term matches. By default results are limited to OPEN-for-bidding opportunities (not-yet-closed status, and either a future deadline or a recently published notice); pass open_only=false to include awarded/closed history, or closing_within_days=N to return only records with a real future deadline inside the next N days (a 'closing soon' query). Access tiers: the FREE tier returns 15 results/page, up to 3 pages deep, ~30 searches per visitor per 24h (each free response carries free_tier=true, searches_remaining, and an upgrade_hint; when the daily cap is spent the tool returns an honest free_tier_limit_reached result with reset_at, not an empty list). Authenticated API-plan callers get full results (20/page), unlimited pagination depth, and are governed by the per-key hourly limit instead of the daily budget. get_solicitation and get_related_solicitations are also FREE (with their own daily caps); only get_live_opportunity_feed and the AI brief on records require a paid API key. If the result reports total_degraded=true, the exact match count timed out and 'total' is a floor, not the true count.

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 GlobalGov — Government Contracts, Tenders & Procurement working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 478 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect GlobalGov — Government Contracts, Tenders & Procurement?
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. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to GlobalGov — Government Contracts, Tenders & Procurement?
No API key is involved. GlobalGov — Government Contracts, Tenders & Procurement answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is GlobalGov — Government Contracts, Tenders & Procurement?
It answers our handshake in 478 ms on average, which is faster than 26% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
