Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account carlosahumada89 for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

GovRider matches a tech product or consulting service against live government tenders, grants, RFPs and frameworks from official portals worldwide.

What you can do: Search live government opportunities by describing your product or service, with optional filters for region, country and funding type (free discovery search). Run a higher-precision AI match that returns match scores, fit memos, political context, translated titles, full descriptions, agency, deadlines, values and application or document links (costs one credit). Check your GovRider credit balance and database status.
When to use it: Use it when a tech company, consultancy or independent seller wants to find public-sector demand for what it builds or sells, across the US, EU, UK, Latin America, Africa and Asia Pacific, without browsing each government portal by hand.
Requirements: Runs locally as an npm package started with npx, so Node.js is needed. A GovRider account and API key are required, supplied through the GOVRIDER_API_KEY environment variable. Network access to the GovRider API is needed; the base URL can be overridden with GOVRIDER_API_BASE.

Before you install

The API key is a secret placed in the client configuration file. The enriched search costs one credit per call and credits are purchased separately, so repeated use spends money. Your product or service descriptions are sent to GovRider's servers. Requests are rate limited to 60 per minute per key.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open GovRider in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
