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
Why AutoGen?
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use DOD Contracts (FPDS) tools. Connect 1 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use DOD Contracts (FPDS) tools to solve complex tasks
- —
Role-based architecture lets you assign DOD Contracts (FPDS) tool access to specific agents. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates
- —
Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive DOD Contracts (FPDS) tool calls
- —
Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes DOD Contracts (FPDS) tool responses in an isolated environment

Why teams choose Vinkius for DOD Contracts (FPDS) in AutoGen
The DOD Contracts (FPDS) MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 1 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in AutoGen only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
DOD Contracts (FPDS) for AutoGen
Every tool call from AutoGen to the DOD Contracts (FPDS) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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 AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call DOD Contracts (FPDS) tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
