A tool that vanishes takes a piece of your agent with it, and the change arrives silently. Watch this server and every such change lands in your inbox.

Available tools 17

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

saved

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

exclusion

exclusion_changes

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

exclusion_context

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

exclusions

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.

search_exclusions

Filter active exclusion records by agency, program, classification, geography and dates. Limit is a maximum; large records can produce a smaller page with page_size_limited true. Continue with next_cursor and unchanged filters and limit. Preserve generation and read coverage.freshness for source age and warnings; results are dated evidence, not clearance.

detail

detail

Retrieve a public record using the exact collection and id returned by search, never a page URL, title or slug. Supply the returned generation for a consistent result.

document

document

Read official record text using the exact collection, id and generation returned by search. Start at offset 0 with length 1 to 16,000 characters, then use next_offset unchanged for the next chunk. Does not fetch arbitrary URLs or paths.

explain

explain_match

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

freshness

freshness

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

opportunities

search_opportunities

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

research

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.

rotate

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.

search

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

GovGazette — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can GovGazette do?

It exposes 17 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_exclusions, create_saved_search, delete_saved_search, delete_saved_search_workspace, detail, document and 11 more. 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 →

What is GovGazette mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around saved, exclusion and exclusions. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is GovGazette 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 514 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did GovGazette ever remove tools?

Yes. apply_business_profile_update, assess_opportunity_for_business, check_business_exclusions, export_opportunities and 36 more are no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect GovGazette?

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 GovGazette need an API key?

No. GovGazette completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 17 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is GovGazette?

It answers our handshake in 514 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.

Is GovGazette open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
