SAM.gov

Overview

SAM.gov is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: SAM.gov entity registration, exclusions, opportunities, contract awards. 15 tools. In practice that means any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call SAM.gov's tools directly — the model decides when to use them in a conversation or agent run.

It runs locally: the Python package sam-gov-mcp (via uvx) speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need SAM_API_KEY. The current release is v0.4.1, published under the MIT license, with source at 1102tools/federal-contracting-mcps on GitHub, where it has earned 20 stars.

SAM.gov is listed under Development on mcp.site and works with any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and the rest of the ecosystem — using the install snippets below.
