Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only reference server for U.S. government contracting: NAICS/PSC/NIGP codes, state and city procurement portals, SBA set-asides, FAR playbooks and…

What you can do
  • Search across all reference libraries, calculators and directories in one query
  • Look up and cross-walk NAICS, Federal PSC and state/local NIGP commodity codes
  • Find official vendor registration portals for 50 states and 250+ cities
  • Check SBA set-aside program rules, thresholds, citations and subcontracting limits
  • Define GovCon, FAR, DFARS, SBA, CMMC and SLED terms from a 500+ term glossary
  • Retrieve step-by-step capture playbooks with FAR citations and checklists
When to use it
Useful when drafting bids or proposals, choosing commodity codes, deciding where to register as a vendor, or checking set-aside eligibility and FAR rules. It supplies statutory reference material and portal directories, not live solicitation monitoring.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint, or a local run via npx with Node.js. No account, API key, environment variable or header is declared.
Before you install
Responses are reference data and portal directories, not live bid monitoring; the server points to separate handoff metadata for that. Verify statutory details against the cited canonical sources before relying on them, and note that results link back to the vendor's own site.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Intandem Government Contracting & FAR Reference MCP in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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.steve-in-tandem%2Fgovcon-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

Option 1: One-Command Auto-Setup (Recommended)

Run this in your terminal to automatically add the Intandem GovCon MCP server to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Antigravity:

bash
npx @intandem/govcon-mcp mcp add

Option 2: Zero-Install Remote HTTP MCP Endpoint

Add the remote Streamable HTTP endpoint directly to your MCP client configuration:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "intandem-govcon": {      "url": "https://www.getintandem.io/api/mcp"    }  }}

Option 3: Local Stdio via npx

For stdio-based MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "intandem-govcon": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "@intandem/govcon-mcp"]    }  }}
