Fac Overview

Fac MCP server exposes US Federal Audit Clearinghouse data for querying single-audit filings, federal award programs, recipients, and audit findings. It reads a periodically refreshed local copy of FAC bulk data rather than depending on the live FAC API, and requires no FAC API key. Use it to investigate federal grant spending, retrieve a recipient's audit history, search finding narratives, or screen across states, programs, and finding types. Responses include the timestamp of the latest successful data refresh.

Primary Use Cases for Fac:
  • Find audits filed by a recipient or organization
  • Trace federal spending under an Assistance Listing program
  • Review a recipient's audit history across years
  • Search audit findings for specific narrative language
