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.

api
get_api_info
Get metadata about the GovBid Global API including version, data source, license information, and usage guidelines. Call this first to understand the service before making other tool calls.
opportunities
search_opportunities
Search U.S. federal government contract opportunities from SAM.gov. Returns recent procurement notices with title, department, deadline, and source URL. Data is updated daily. License: Public Domain (SAM.gov). Requires an api_key — call register_agent first if you don't have one.
opportunity
get_opportunity_detail
Get the direct SAM.gov URL for a specific contract opportunity by its notice ID. Use this to provide users with a link to verify and view full details on SAM.gov.
register
register_agent
Register this agent with the GovBid Global API and receive an API key. Call this once if you don't already have an api_key, before calling search_opportunities. No human interaction (e.g. CAPTCHA) is required — this endpoint is designed for autonomous AI agent self-registration. The returned api_key is shown only once, so store it for reuse.

Govbid MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Govbid MCP Server do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_api_info, get_opportunity_detail, register_agent, search_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 Govbid MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 213 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Govbid MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Govbid MCP Server need an API key?
No. Govbid MCP Server 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 Govbid MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 213 ms on average, which is faster than 65% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Govbid MCP Server open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
