## Description
Workflow tools for US federal contractors — go/no-go bid scoring, incumbent intelligence (USAspending + FPDS), teaming-partner search, recompete prediction, Navy NECO lookup, and SAM.gov solicitation retrieval. Returns synthesized decisions rather than raw data.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **balance** — Credit balance + subscription status.
- **get_solicitation** — Notice ID (or solicitation number) → structured SAM.gov fields (NAICS, PSC, set-aside, place of performance, deadline, contacts, attachment links). The workflow entry point.
- **score_go_no_go** — Score a solicitation GO / NO-GO (0–100) against your company profile, with hard-blocker detection (CMMC, geographic, set-aside).
- **find_incumbents** — Identify the current incumbent via USAspending + FPDS, with competition signals and anticipated next-award date.
- **find_partners_near** — Rank nearby teaming partners / subcontractors by proximity for a place of performance.
- **predict_recompete** — Discover expiring contracts (recompete opportunities) by NAICS/PSC/state/value, enriched with option-exercise signals.
- **lookup_neco_data** — Parse a Navy NECO (neco.navy.mil) solicitation into structured fields. No other govcon MCP has this.
- **lookup_labor_rates** — Benchmark federal labor rates for a NAICS / labor category — GSA CALC awarded ceiling rates + BLS OEWS wages with a government wrap estimate.
- **analyze_award_patterns** — How contracts in a NAICS are awarded: award-size distribution, competition mix, bid intensity, contract vehicles, pricing types.
- **analyze_market** — Market-intelligence snapshot for a NAICS: 5-year spend trend, industry size, top contractors + HHI concentration, set-aside mix, geography, contract vehicles.

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that gives Claude (and any MCP client) **workflow tools for federal contractors** — not raw data access, but decisions: go/no-go scoring, incumbent intelligence, teaming-partner search, recompete prediction, Navy NECO lookup, SAM.gov solicitation retrieval, and market intelligence (labor rates, award patterns, market analysis).

It wraps the live [GovToolsPro](https://govtoolspro.com) API. You bring an API key; the server proxies your calls.

## Tools

| Tool | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `balance` | free | Credit balance + subscription status. |
| `get_solicitation` | free | Notice ID (or solicitation number) → structured SAM.gov fields (NAICS, PSC, set-aside, place of performance, deadline, contacts, attachment links). The workflow entry point. |
| `score_go_no_go` | free | Score a solicitation GO / NO-GO (0–100) against your company profile, with hard-blocker detection (CMMC, geographic, set-aside). |
| `find_incumbents` | free | Identify the current incumbent via USAspending + FPDS, with competition signals and anticipated next-award date. |

| `lookup_labor_rates` | free | Benchmark federal labor rates for a NAICS / labor category — GSA CALC awarded ceiling rates + BLS OEWS wages with a government wrap estimate. |
| `analyze_award_patterns` | 3 credits | How contracts in a NAICS are awarded: award-size distribution, competition mix, bid intensity, contract vehicles, pricing types. |
| `analyze_market` | 5 credits | Market-intelligence snapshot for a NAICS: 5-year spend trend, industry size, top contractors + HHI concentration, set-aside mix, geography, contract vehicles. |

Every tool returns decision-support output with a disclaimer — verify against the official solicitation before relying on results. Credits are drawn from the shared GovToolsPro pool (extension + API + connector all bill the same balance); free tools never deduct.

## Install

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Zed, …):

```jsonc
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "govtoolspro": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "govtoolspro-mcp-server"],
      "env": { "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY": "gtp_live_..." }
    }
  }
}
```

### Get an API key

Create a key in the **GovToolsPro extension → Profile → API Keys** tab (format `gtp_live_...` / `gtp_test_...`).

## Use as a Claude connector (remote MCP)

Prefer not to run anything locally? GovToolsPro is also a hosted **remote MCP server** you can add to Claude as a connector — no install, no API key, sign in with your GovToolsPro account.

- **Remote MCP URL:** `https://mcp.govtoolspro.com/api/mcp`
- In Claude: **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**, paste the URL, and leave the OAuth fields blank (the server self-registers via Dynamic Client Registration).
- You'll be sent to **`auth.govtoolspro.com`** to sign in; Claude then connects over OAuth 2.1. Toggle the connector **on in a conversation** to use its tools.

The same 10 tools are available over the connector, billed against the same shared credit balance as the extension and the stdio package.

## Configuration

| Env var | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY` | yes | — |
| `GOVTOOLSPRO_API_BASE` | no | `https://mcp.govtoolspro.com/api/v1/workflows` |

## Local development

```bash
npm install
npm run build

# end-to-end stdio smoke test against the live API
GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY=gtp_test_... npm run smoke
```

To point a client at your local build:

```jsonc
{
  "command": "node",
  "args": ["/absolute/path/to/govtoolspro-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
  "env": { "GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY": "gtp_test_..." }
}
```

## Notes

- **Workflow MCP, not a data wrapper.** Competing govcon MCPs return raw SAM.gov/FPDS JSON; these tools return synthesized decisions.
- **CUI safety.** The API rejects content with CUI / FOUO / Distribution-Statement markings; those rejections surface to the client as clear errors. Do not submit controlled content.
- **No warranty.** Output is decision support only — not legal, contractual, or award-outcome advice.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Cause / fix |
|---|---|
| **`Out of credits` / 402** | Three tools are metered (`analyze_market` 5, `analyze_award_patterns` 3). Check `balance`, or top up at [govtoolspro.com](https://govtoolspro.com). Free tools never deduct. |
| **Connector keeps asking you to sign in / 401** | The remote connector requires OAuth — complete sign-in at `auth.govtoolspro.com`, then toggle the connector **on** in the conversation ("Search and tools"). |
| **`No data for this NAICS` (502)** | That NAICS has no federal activity in the window — **you are not charged**. Try a broader NAICS or fewer filters. |
| **CUI rejection error** | The API rejects content marked CUI / FOUO / Distribution-Statement. Remove controlled content and retry. |
| **`get_solicitation` returns nothing** | Use the 32-char notice ID from the `sam.gov/opp/<id>/view` URL. Some archived/cancelled notices may be unavailable. |
| **Invalid API key (stdio)** | Ensure `GOVTOOLSPRO_API_KEY` is a `gtp_live_…` / `gtp_test_…` key from the extension's **Profile → API Keys** tab. |
