# GovTribe MCP

#### **Meet GovTribe MCP**

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI applications connect to external data sources. GovTribe MCP lets you bring our full dataset — opportunities, awards, IDVs, contract vehicles, vendors, forecasts, contacts, and more — directly into Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or your own custom AI applications. You can also manage pipelines, create saved searches, and track pursuits without leaving your AI workflow.\
\
In addition to GovTribe's structured data, GovTribe MCP gives you access to real-time journalism and analysis from the GovExec media properties — coverage of contracting trends, specific contract actions, and industry M\&A activity. This adds useful context when you're evaluating opportunities or trying to understand the broader market landscape.

#### Here's what our customers have been building with it:

* Competitive intelligence workflows that pull incumbent data, analyze award patterns, and generate capture briefings
* AI-driven opportunity scanning across target NAICS codes and agency portfolios
* Vendor and teaming partner research using past performance and SBA certifications
* Pipeline management with pursuits linked to live opportunities and automated saved search alerts
* Solicitation document search and analysis across tracked opportunities

One customer cut their per-opportunity CI research time from 4-6 hours to under one hour, while monitoring 3x more opportunities than before. Another integrated the GovTribe MCP with Zapier to trigger automated competitive analysis — including Shipley-style Black Hat assessments — as opportunities advance through their capture pipeline, with no manual kickoff required.

#### Pricing

Pricing is credit-based and separate from your GovTribe subscription. You can pay as you go or purchase prepaid credits at a significant discount. If you don't use GovTribe MCP, you won't be charged. Full credit pricing details are available at the bottom of the [plans page](https://govtribe.com/plans).
