Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 1 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Keeping track of who gets federal contracts is a nightmare.

Today, finding out which company won what contract requires jumping between multiple government portals. You search one site for 'defense,' then another for the specific department's budget, and finally copy-paste the results into a spreadsheet just to get a basic picture of spending.

With this MCP, you bypass all that clicking and searching. Your agent runs a single query using your desired parameters, pulling everything—all contract entries across multiple agencies—and hands you a consolidated record set.

Search contracts via the search_contracts tool gives you complete visibility.

You don't have to manually filter by department ID or agency code in complex web forms anymore. The agent handles that filtering instantly, giving you only what matters for your specific research scope.

The system now provides a single, powerful point of access to the entire federal contract database. It cuts out hours of tedious manual cross-referencing.

What your AI can actually do with this

Monitoring federal spending used to mean manually navigating complex, siloed government websites. Now, this MCP lets you query the entire Federal Procurement Data System record set right through your AI client. You can track everything from basic procurement actions to major contract awards across all federal agencies. If you need visibility into who's getting paid for defense projects or what specific agency is spending money on cloud infrastructure, this tool delivers the raw data.

By connecting it via Vinkius, you get immediate access to thousands of other specialized services alongside government records. You can filter results specifically for the Department of Defense using department or agency codes, making competitor tracking and opportunity identification simple. Just ask your agent to search federal contracts, and it handles the rest.

Questions you might have

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 do I first set up the connection for `search_contracts`? +

You must configure your access identifier within Vinkius first. Once connected, your AI agent can run search_contracts against the live FPDS feed without needing credentials in every prompt.

What format does `search_contracts` return? +

The tool returns raw XML data containing all contract entries. Your agent reads this structured XML, letting you parse it into clean tables or extract specific data points easily.

What should I do if `search_contracts` throws an error? +

If the search fails, check your syntax carefully and ensure all required parameters are included. The agent will provide specific error codes detailing exactly what needs fixing for a successful run.

Are there rate limits when using `search_contracts`? +

While the underlying feed manages throughput, making too many rapid calls might trigger temporary slowdowns. We recommend adding small delays between consecutive search_contracts runs to maintain performance.

Can I filter federal contracts results using `search_contracts` by date range? +

Yes, you can integrate specific date parameters into your sQuery syntax. Use the appropriate date fields to narrow the search window for contract activity within any specified timeframe.
