GovGazette does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 94.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

GovGazette — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can GovGazette do?

It exposes 39 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: apply_business_profile_update, assess_opportunity_for_business, check_business_exclusions, find_recompetes, find_recompetes_for_business, get_award and 33 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 opportunity, business and watch. 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 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 518 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

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 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 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 39 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 518 ms on average, which is faster than 32% 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?

Yes — 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.
