Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Gov Tenders & Grants MCP: SAM.gov, Grants.gov, USAspending, UK, EU TED in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.GeminiGeorge22%2Fgov-tenders-mcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

Gov Tenders & Grants MCP: SAM.gov, Grants.gov, USAspending, UK, EU TED

Public-sector opportunity data as MCP tools: US federal contract opportunities (SAM.gov), federal grants (Grants.gov), federal awards (USAspending), UK tenders (Find a Tender, Contracts Finder), EU tenders (TED) and city council meeting minutes and agendas (Legistar). Every row carries its official source link.

Hosted remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) on Apify's MCP gateway. Client config plus a small open-source stdio proxy server. No Actor source.

Disclosure: I maintain these Actors on Apify Store (publisher publicrecords).

Auth: sign in with Apify (OAuth) when your client prompts, or send an Apify API token as a Bearer token. Runs are billed per result on your own Apify account; see each Store page for current pricing.

Local stdio server (open source)

This repo also ships a small MCP server in src/ for clients that only run local stdio servers. It answers initialize and tools/list locally from tools.json, which is generated from each Actor's public input schema and checked for drift in CI and weekly, so any client or directory can inspect the tools with no token. tools/call is forwarded to the hosted Apify MCP endpoint above with your own APIFY_TOKEN; without a token a call returns a clear error instead of running anything. The token is only sent in the Authorization header and is never logged.

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "gov-tenders": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "github:GeminiGeorge22/gov-tenders-mcp"],      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }    }  }}

Or from a clone:

bash
git clone https://github.com/GeminiGeorge22/gov-tenders-mcp.gitcd gov-tenders-mcp && npm installAPIFY_TOKEN=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN node src/server.js

Optional env: APIFY_ACTORS (comma-separated subset of the Actors above) and APIFY_MCP_URL (full endpoint override).

Tests run against an in-memory mock server, with no network and no token: npm test. Requires Node.js 18+.

Python (uvx/pip)

A matching Python version of this server lives in python/, built on the official mcp Python SDK: same tools, same APIFY_TOKEN, same hosted endpoint. Requires Python 3.10+.

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "gov-tenders": {      "command": "uvx",      "args": ["gov-tenders-mcp"],      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }    }  }}

Or with pip: pip install gov-tenders-mcp, then run gov-tenders-mcp. Python tests: cd python && pip install -e ".[test]" && env -u APIFY_TOKEN python -m pytest.
