Awardopedia - Federal Contracts

Overview

Awardopedia - Federal Contracts is an MCP server that lets you search federal government contract opportunities from SAM.gov directly within Claude and other AI assistants. Instead of switching between applications, you can query contract data as a native tool integrated into your workflow.

The server runs locally via the npm package awardopedia-mcp, which communicates over stdio with your MCP client. Installation is straightforward: npx -y awardopedia-mcp. You'll need to provide an AWARDOPEDIA_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate with the Awardopedia service. The latest release is v0.1.1, and the source code is available at grayson-sys/awardopedia on GitHub.

Awardopedia - Federal Contracts is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, you can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information up to date.
