What is the DOD Contracts (FPDS) MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent to the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS) to monitor government spending and analyze contract awards in real-time.
What you can do
- Contract Search — Query the massive database of federal procurement actions using standard FPDS search syntax.
- DOD Targeting — Specifically isolate Department of Defense data by filtering for Department ID '9700' or Agency Code '9700'.
- Market Intelligence — Track vendor performance, identify upcoming procurement trends, and analyze historical spending patterns.
- Pagination Support — Navigate through large result sets using the start parameter to fetch data in batches of 10.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Configure your access identifier
- Start querying federal contracts from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Government Contractors — monitor competitors and find new opportunities within the DOD.
- Data Analysts — extract raw XML contract data for spending analysis and reporting.
- Journalists & Researchers — track government transparency and public spending across federal agencies.
Built-in capabilities (1)
To target DOD contracts, include DEPARTMENT_ID:"9700" or AGENCY_CODE:"9700" in the sQuery parameter. Returns XML data containing contract entries. Search federal contracts via FPDS Atom Feed

Frequently asked questions
How do I specifically target Department of Defense (DOD) contracts?
To target DOD contracts, include DEPARTMENT_ID:"9700" or AGENCY_CODE:"9700" in your sQuery parameter when using the search_contracts tool.
Can I paginate through large sets of contract results?
Yes. The search_contracts tool supports a start parameter. Results are returned in batches of 10, so you can increment the start number (e.g., 10, 20, 30) to see more records.
What search syntax should I use for the sQuery parameter?
The search_contracts tool uses the standard FPDS Atom Feed search syntax. You can search by keywords, or use specific fields like VENDOR_NAME:"Example Corp" or PIID:"ContractID".
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
