AwardCast Federal Contracts
ai.awardcast/federal-contracts · 1.1.0
US federal contracting data: open solicitations, buying agencies, contractors, price history.
Nobody here has read this server's code, because it publishes none. The description above is the maker's own, from the registry. A connection test shows whether it answers and what tools it says it has; it never calls a tool, so it cannot show what one does with your data.

What can be seen from outside, weighed as the directory publishes.
Observable signals: 45 of 100 points (at most 60 here)
| Input | Points | What was seen |
|---|---|---|
| Source published | held at 0 | No entry here publishes source: that is what puts it in this directory. |
| Licence stated | held at 0 | With no files, there is nothing for a licence to be stated in or held against. |
| Advisory state | held at 0 | Advisory databases index packages, and these entries publish none, so there is nothing to look up. |
| Auth declared | 0 of 15 | The registry entry declares no key. That is what it declares, not a finding that it has no protection. |

The tools it lists (8, as of 9 days ago)
The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.
searchSearch AwardCast's US federal contracting record: buying agencies, federal contractors, and solicitations open right now. Call this first for any question about who buys, who sells, or what is open in US federal procurement. Returns results with an id and a citable URL; pass the id to the fetch tool to open the full record.
fetchOpen the full record behind an id returned by search: an agency profile with price by category and its top winners, a contractor's award history, or a solicitation with its scope and deadline. Call this whenever you need the detail behind a search result, and always before citing a number.
track_recordAccuracy scorecard for AwardCast's forecasts, scored against the real contract value once FPDS publishes it. Call this when the user asks whether the forecasts are reliable, what the margin of error is, or wants evidence before trusting a number. Returns coverage and median error by value band, including where the model is weakest.
open_solicitationsUS federal solicitations OPEN right now, from SAM.gov, each with the buying agency, the NAICS code and the place of performance. Call this when the user asks what is open, hunts for opportunities in a sector or agency, or wants to know what they can bid on. Does not return a price forecast: for that, point the user to https://awardcast.ai/pricing.
upcoming_recompetesUS federal contracts nearing expiry that are likely to be recompeted, i.e. opportunities BEFORE they become a published solicitation. Each carries the incumbent and the current contract value. Call this when the user plans pipeline, asks what is coming, or wants to position ahead of competitors. Distinct from open_solicitations, which is already open for bids today.

How this entry becomes a listing
For the maker. The catalogue lists what it can read, and this server publishes nothing to read yet. There are two routes, and only the first is open today.
Publish the source Open today
- Put the server's source in a public repository on github.com, with a licence.
- Keep a server.json in that repository naming this server,
ai.awardcast/federal-contracts, and declare the repository in it:"repository": { "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo", "source": "github" }, adding"subfolder"when the server lives in a folder. - Publish that version to the official MCP registry.
- The nightly registry sweep records the declaration. This page stays, dated, and says the source is declared but not yet read.
- The catalogue reads declared repositories at a pinned commit, in batches run by hand, and lists the servers that meet the batch's rules (among them a server.json at that commit naming the server, an https endpoint and a licence). When it lists this server, this page links to the listing. There is no schedule, so no date can be promised.
