Government Contract Intelligence

What is Government Contract Intelligence?

Government Contract Intelligence is an MCP server that connects AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to nine federal data sources for live procurement research. It is built for defense contractors, GovTech companies, lobbyists, and government affairs teams who need authoritative bid decisions faster than traditional manual research.

How to use Government Contract Intelligence?

Add the server URL https://government-contract-intelligence-mcp.apify.actor/mcp to your MCP client configuration with an Apify API token as the Authorization: Bearer header. Then ask your AI assistant a procurement question (e.g., “What is the procurement landscape for DoD identity management?”) and the server returns a scored, structured intelligence report. Each tool call costs $0.045 and typically completes in 60–120 seconds.
