Currently, only **Federal Data** is available through the GovTribe App on ChatGPT. We are working to expand the app to include state, local, and grant data in the near future.
{% endhint %}

#### Step 1 — Add Official App

1. In ChatGPT, go to the [**Official GovTribe App.**](https://chatgpt.com/apps/govtribe/asdk_app_699f29340c288191885b95a1ebd3cad6)
2. Click "Connect" and follow the prompts to sign in to your account.
3. **Optional:** Enable reference memories and chats

#### Step 2 – Start Chatting

You can now select the **GovTribe MCP**, allowing you to answer questions with GovTribe's live data.<br>

Try out these test prompts:

* “Use the GovTribe connector to find federal contract opportunities with ‘zero trust’ in the title.”
* “Search for federal contract opportunities posted in the last 7 days related to ‘cybersecurity’.”
* “Find vendors related to ‘computer systems design services’ and summarize the top matches.”
