AI-powered federal procurement intelligence via the Model Context Protocol

EzBiz Government Contracting MCP Server

AI-powered federal procurement intelligence via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Give your AI assistant the ability to search federal contracts, analyze agency spending, track competitor wins, and monitor small business set-aside opportunities — all using SAM.gov, USASpending.gov, and FPDS data.

Tools

Tool Description
search_contracts Search federal contract opportunities on SAM.gov — filter by NAICS code, set-aside type, agency, dollar range, and keywords. Returns active solicitations with due dates, contact info, and bid requirements.
analyze_agency Analyze a federal agency's spending patterns and contracting behavior — top contractors, spending trends, preferred NAICS codes, contract types, and upcoming opportunities. Uses USASpending.gov data.
competitor_win_analysis Analyze a competitor's federal contract wins — awarded contracts, agencies they work with, contract values, NAICS codes, and win patterns. Find out who's winning in your space.
set_aside_tracker Track small business set-aside opportunities across federal agencies — 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, and SBA set-asides. Shows trending categories, upcoming deadlines, and agency set-aside spending patterns.
