Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that lets an assistant search and read public government procurement records — tenders, RFPs and grants — from 193 countries.

What you can do
Search government procurement records by full text across 193 countries and languages, with relevance-ranked results including agency, country, value, deadline and status. Fetch one full solicitation record by slug or UUID, with original and English titles, codes, source link and description. Find up to five open solicitations related to a given record by country and NAICS code. Sample a curated live feed of open defense and technology opportunities. Read platform coverage statistics such as total and open solicitation counts, countries, sources and languages.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up biddable public tenders, RFPs or grants in a given country or sector, check details and deadlines of a specific notice, or see what else is open alongside it.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; nothing to install locally. No key is needed for basic use. An optional X-API-Key header unlocks full-depth search, the AI brief, the full related set and the live feed; keys come from the provider's settings page and paid plans may be required. An optional X-Attribution-Email header identifies the client.
Before you install
The X-API-Key header is a secret and should be kept private; full features may require a paid plan. The free tier limits related lookups to about three calls per visitor per 24 hours. The live feed and stats tools may return retryable warming or computing errors when their caches are cold. Records are public procurement data passed through from third-party sources.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open GlobalGov — Government Contracts, Tenders & Procurement 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.globalgov%2Fmcp/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

search_solicitations

Search government solicitations

Full-text search over government procurement records (solicitations, tenders, RFPs, grants) from 193 countries, whatever language they were published in. Returns up to 20 relevance-ranked results per page with id, title, agency, country_code, value_usd, deadline, status, category, slug and a text snippet. Use the id (always present) — or the slug when set — with get_solicitation for the full record. Terms are matched with OR and ranked by relevance, so a multi-word query ('private 5G network defence') returns the best-matching open opportunities rather than only exact all-term matches. By default results are limited to OPEN-for-bidding opportunities (not-yet-closed status, and either a future deadline or a recently published notice); pass open_only=false to include awarded/closed history, or closing_within_days=N to return only records with a real future deadline inside the next N days (a 'closing soon' query). Access tiers: the FREE tier returns 15 results/page, up to 3 pages deep, ~30 searches per visitor per 24h (each free response carries free_tier=true, searches_remaining, and an upgrade_hint; when the daily cap is spent the tool returns an honest free_tier_limit_reached result with reset_at, not an empty list). Authenticated API-plan callers get full results (20/page), unlimited pagination depth, and are governed by the per-key hourly limit instead of the daily budget. get_solicitation and get_related_solicitations are also FREE (with their own daily caps); only get_live_opportunity_feed and the AI brief on records require a paid API key. If the result reports total_degraded=true, the exact match count timed out and 'total' is a floor, not the true count.

Parameterspagequeryrequiredcountrycategoryopen_onlyclosing_within_days

get_solicitation

Get a solicitation record

Fetch one full public solicitation record by slug (as returned by search_solicitations / get_live_opportunity_feed) or by UUID. Returns title (original + English), agency, country, value and currency, deadline, published date, status, category, NAICS/CPV codes, source_url, and the full description. Returns error 'not_found' for unknown slugs/ids. FREE tier: returns the FACTUAL record only (the fields above), capped at ~10 opens per visitor per 24h (free_tier=true, opens_remaining; an honest free_tier_limit_reached result when spent). A GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key) additionally returns the AI-generated brief (summary, key requirements, compliance flags) and lifts the daily cap.

Parametersslug_or_idrequired

get_live_opportunity_feed

Live opportunity feed

A random sample of 12 records from the curated live feed of open defense/technology opportunities (multi-country, multi-source, deduplicated by country+source). Served entirely from a background-refreshed cache; if the cache is cold the tool returns a retryable 'warming_up' error rather than an empty list. No arguments. Requires a GlobalGov plan with API access (sign in with GlobalGov or connect an X-API-Key); anonymous callers get an 'unavailable_for_tier' result.

Takes no parameters.

get_platform_stats

Platform coverage statistics

Canonical GlobalGov coverage numbers: total and open solicitation counts, countries covered, source systems, languages, vendor counts. Pre-computed nightly and served from cache; if the cache is cold the tool returns a retryable 'computing' error and the refresh is dispatched automatically. No arguments.

Takes no parameters.
