Finding official business status and resources is tedious, time-consuming work.
Right now, vetting a potential partner requires opening the SBA website, finding the appropriate NAICS lookup, cross-referencing revenue thresholds in one section, and then going to a completely different tab or page just to find local support resources. You copy names, you check dates, and you open at least three separate browser tabs.
With this MCP server, your agent handles that entire workflow. Give it the NAICS code and the target county. It runs `check_small_business_status` for compliance *and* pulls localized links using `get_city_county_links`. You get a single, structured answer instead of six browser tabs.
SBA MCP Server: Validate small business status and resource location.
Manually determining if a company qualifies as 'small' means comparing current revenue against complex, constantly changing federal thresholds. If you miss one input—say, the employee count—the entire compliance check fails, forcing you to restart the whole process.
The server automates that comparison. You feed it the data points (NAICS, revenue, employees), and `check_small_business_status` delivers a definitive pass/fail status against current federal regulations. It's immediate.
What your AI can actually do with this
SBA MCP Server: Business Status and Resource Mapping
Listen, you connect your AI client right here to the U.S. Small Business Administration's official data feeds. You don't need a bunch of complex APIs; this server gives your agent three straight-shooting tools for checking compliance and mapping out support resources across the country.
Checking Business Compliance Status with check_small_business_status
You wanna know if a business qualifies as 'small' under federal rules? You run check_small_business_status. This tool takes three specific inputs: a NAICS code, a revenue amount, or an employee count. You just feed your agent the relevant number—the one you trust most—and it runs the calculation against current SBA regulations.
The output is a direct confirmation of whether that business meets the criteria for small status. If you give it the NAICS code and need to verify size, it checks it. If you have the revenue figure, it uses that data point. If you only know the employee count, it works with that too.
You'll get an immediate answer about compliance standing without having to cross-reference three different government websites.
Mapping All Regional Links with get_all_geographic_links
When you need a full picture of what resources are out there, you execute get_all_geographic_links. This tool doesn't filter anything; it grabs the entire roster. It retrieves every single geographic resource and contact point that the SBA system has documented for all regions. You get the complete list—the master index of support services provided by the agency across the whole map.
This is your starting point when you have no idea where to look, just needing to see what's available nationally. Think of it like pulling every single phone number and address from a massive city directory; that's what this tool gives you.
Isolating Local Area Resources with get_city_county_links
If the full list is too much, or if you already know the area you're interested in, you call get_city_county_links. This function takes your broad resource database and narrows it down. You feed it a specific city name or a county designation, and it filters the general resource pool to show only what pertains to that exact location.
It’s how you take that massive list of national resources and boil it down to actionable links—the ones relevant just for, say, Baltimore County or downtown Miami. This mechanism saves you time by eliminating everything irrelevant to your specific geographic target.
How Your Agent Uses These Tools
When you tell your agent what job you need done—whether it's confirming compliance status using a NAICS code and revenue figure through check_small_business_status, or if you need the comprehensive list of everything available via get_all_geographic_links before narrowing things down, or if you just want to focus on resources in a specific county by calling get_city_county_links—your agent knows which tool to run.
It executes the necessary function and spits out raw data that you can use immediately. You're not building complex logic; you're telling your AI client what data set you need, and it fetches it directly from the source.
019e38e8-3208-7093-a88b-9621d5ba19df Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is that you stop searching multiple government websites; your agent does the cross-referencing for you.
Start by connecting your AI client (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to the SBA MCP Server. This gives your agent access to the data endpoints.
Define the query: Do you need a status check? Run check_small_business_status. Need location info? Start with get_all_geographic_links and refine it using get_city_county_links.
Your agent runs the necessary tools in sequence, processes the raw data (e.g., comparing revenue to size standards), and delivers a clear answer on compliance or resource availability.
Who is this actually for?
Government contractors need to quickly validate potential partners' small business status before bidding. Financial analysts use this to gather regional data points automatically for investment reports. Small business owners rely on it to confirm their current compliance standing against federal rules.
Validates the small business status of subcontractors using check_small_business_status based on NAICS codes.
Automates gathering regional resource links and compliance data from multiple sources into a single report run via get_all_geographic_links and get_city_county_links.
Checks if the business still meets size standards after growth, using check_small_business_status before applying for government loans or contracts.
What Changes When You Connect
Confirm Compliance Instantly: Use check_small_business_status to confirm if your company maintains 'small' status. This saves hours of cross-referencing federal guidelines with your current revenue figures.
Full Resource View: Running get_all_geographic_links gives you a single, authoritative list of every resource type available across the entire SBA network—no need to visit dozens of regional sites.
Hyper-Local Data Retrieval: If general links are too broad, call get_city_county_links. This function filters out noise and only shows resources for the specific city or county you're targeting.
Deep Validation: The server uses NAICS codes to validate status. You don't just get a 'yes/no'; you get the compliance details needed for government bidding or loan applications.
Time Savings Over Manual Search: Instead of clicking through multiple state and local resource pages, your agent runs these tools and returns all necessary data in one structured output.
See it in action
Pre-Bidding Compliance Check
A contractor needs to bid on a federal job. First, they use check_small_business_status with the NAICS code and current revenue figures to ensure compliance. Next, they run get_city_county_links for the target city to find local support resources, completing their due diligence in minutes.
Market Research on New Locations
A financial analyst is looking at expanding into a new state. They first call get_all_geographic_links for a broad overview of available services, then refine the search using get_city_county_links to pinpoint local support networks in specific counties.
Annual Business Status Review
A small business owner anticipates rapid growth. They use check_small_business_status with their projected revenue figures to see if they risk losing 'small' status before the next tax cycle, allowing them time to adjust strategy.
Comprehensive Partner Vetting
A project manager needs to vet five potential subcontractors. They run check_small_business_status on each one individually using their NAICS codes. The server aggregates the compliance data, letting them compare all partners side-by-side.
The honest tradeoffs
Asking for vague 'local help'
Prompting the agent with: 'Give me resources in the general area.' The server can't guess your boundaries and will either fail or give you a massive, unusable list.
You must use get_city_county_links and provide specific input (e.g., 'Dallas County'). This forces the tool to filter the data accurately for the local area.
Ignoring revenue limits
Trying to determine small status just by providing a NAICS code without any financial context. The server can't know if you meant $1M or $100M.
Always run check_small_business_status and supply all three metrics: the NAICS code, the annual revenue figure, AND the number of employees.
Over-relying on general links
Running only get_all_geographic_links when you know your project is limited to one county. You waste time sifting through thousands of irrelevant state and regional entries.
After running get_all_geographic_links, immediately follow up with a specific call to get_city_county_links for the target area. This narrows the focus fast.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this server if your primary need is compliance status or structured geographic data tied directly to U.S. federal small business guidelines. Specifically, use check_small_business_status when you need a definitive measure of size based on NAICS/revenue/employees.
Don't use it if you just need general market sentiment, historical population density (data not covered), or non-U.S.-specific regulatory advice. For general resource links that aren't SBA related—like local chamber websites—you'll need a different kind of search tool instead.
Questions you might have
How do I use check_small_business_status? +
You must provide three parameters: the NAICS code, the annual revenue figure, and the number of employees. The tool runs check_small_business_status and confirms if all inputs meet current SBA size criteria.
Do I need get_all_geographic_links or get_city_county_links? +
It depends on your scope. Use get_all_geographic_links for a general overview of every resource type available nationwide. Only use get_city_county_links when you know the specific city or county you need to focus on.
Can I check status without revenue? +
No, the tool requires all three inputs—NAICS code, revenue, and employee count. You must run check_small_business_status with all parameters to get a valid compliance assessment.
Is this better than searching Google for SBA resources? +
Yes. Searching Google gives you links; the SBA MCP Server uses tools like get_all_geographic_links and get_city_county_links to process the data contained within those official sources, giving you structured, actionable information.
Are there rate limits when running multiple checks with `check_small_business_status`? +
Yes, the endpoint imposes a specific usage cap on calls per minute. To prevent throttling errors, it's best practice to batch your requests or implement a 60-second delay between individual calls.
Does `get_all_geographic_links` return raw URLs, or is the data structured? +
It returns structured JSON objects. Each object contains the full URL, resource type (e.g., 'office', 'partner'), and associated state/county identifier, making it easy for your agent to parse.
What happens if I pass an invalid NAICS code to `check_small_business_status`? +
The tool returns a specific error message detailing the unsupported NAICS code. This failure response also often suggests known valid alternatives for you to try.
Can I combine location data from `get_city_county_links` with business size status? +
Absolutely. You retrieve localized resources using the link tool first, then pass those resulting parameters to your agent alongside the NAICS code for a comprehensive context check.
How do I check if a business qualifies as a small business under SBA rules? +
Use the check_small_business_status tool. You will need to provide the 6-digit NAICS code for the industry, along with the average annual revenue or number of employees.
Can I find SBA resources for a specific city or county? +
Yes! Use the get_city_county_links tool to retrieve geographic links filtered by your target city or county.
What is the source of this data? +
The data is retrieved directly from the official U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) public API endpoints.
