SAM.gov federal-data skill — 150 tools across 52 sources
This skill teaches Claude how to use the sam-gov MCP server (150 tools wrapped from @cliwant/mcp-sam-gov) to answer the full surface of US federal contracting / spending / regulation / vetting / market questions end-to-end — from discovering (and shaping) an opportunity, to reading the actual RFP/SOW documents, running a FAR/DFARS compliance matrix, vetting a firm (sanctions, exclusions, audits, bank health, EPA), sizing a market (establishments + wages + regional GDP), pricing the bid against statutory wage floors, and pulling macro context for escalation.
Setup: the sam-gov MCP server must be reachable. /plugin install cliwant/mcp-sam-gov registers it automatically; otherwise see the repo README. Host prefixing: Claude Code exposes tools as mcp__sam-gov__<tool>; bare MCP hosts use just <tool>. Use whichever your host gives you.
Tool inventory — 150 tools, keyless-first
Keyless-first: 48 of 52 sources need no key. Only 4 sources require a free key (marked 🔑 below): Census CBP (census_business_patterns), FRED (fred_search_series, fred_series_observations), BEA (bea_regional_data), and DOL's data endpoint (dol_get_dataset; DOL's catalog is keyless). Those 4 tools throw an honest config error without a key. A handful of others take an optional free key for higher limits (see the Keys section). The server is the only source of truth — never invent notice IDs, officer names, award amounts, NAICS codes, or regulation citations.
sam_search_shaping — pre-solicitation radar: Sources Sought / Presol / Special Notices before the RFP exists (keyless rows null naics/setAside/place — get those via sam_get_opportunity).
sam_get_opportunity — full detail for ONE notice by 32-char hex noticeId (POCs, deadline, attachments[], body). Call BEFORE bid/no-bid or compliance work.
sam_fetch_description — full SOW/RFP body as plain text (when detail gave a description URL not inline body).
sam_fetch_attachment_text — READ the attachment (RFP/SOW/Q&A/wage PDF+DOCX+HTML) by its attachments[].url. A scanned/image-only or unreadable doc returns text:null + disclosed reason (honest, not a bug).
sam_attachment_url — build the public download URL for an attachment resourceId (303 → signed S3).
sam_lookup_organization — federal-organization id → canonical fullParentPathName.
sam_lookup_notice_fields — batch-fill nulled naics/setAside/PoP/deadline for 1–100 noticeIds from the opt-in GSA daily CSV. OFF by default (returns enabled:false until SAM_GOV_ENABLE_CSV=1); snapshot can lag ~24h.
grants_search — Grants.gov federal grant opportunities (financial assistance, distinct from contracts).
grants_get_opportunity — full grant detail (description, dates, award ceiling, applicant types, CFDA).
usas_search_awards_by_recipient — a recipient's wins in an agency × NAICS slice.
usas_search_subawards — subcontracts on prime awards (supply chain / teaming).
usas_search_recompetes — recompete radar (preferred): PoP ending in a window (default −90d..+18mo), soonest-first, no silent drops. Public signals only.
usas_search_expiring_contracts — DEPRECATED alias of usas_search_recompetes (legacy shape).
usas_analyze_incumbent — per-award incumbent + PUBLIC pressureHints (single_offer / ceiling_nearly_exhausted / hard_stop_no_options) — HINTS, never a composite score.
usas_search_teaming_partners — small-business teaming discovery by socioeconomic cert × NAICS × agency, exclusion-screened (cert is award-derived, not the SBA cert of record).
usas_spending_over_time — contract-spending time series (fiscal_year / quarter / month).
usas_search_agency_spending — top buying agencies for a NAICS / set-aside.
sam_check_exclusions — SAM debarment/exclusion screen by name and/or UEI/CAGE. Empty ≠ "responsible" — only "no ACTIVE match"; a name match isn't identity-proof (verify UEI/CAGE).
sam_integrity_lookup — one-call integrity screen; integrityFlag = excluded or review_fapiis — NEVER "clear" keylessly (FAPIIS has no keyless API); check fapiisUrl.
fac_search_audits — Single Audit summaries from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.
fac_get_findings — drill into audit-RISK findings for an entity.
fdic_search_institutions — search the FDIC-insured-institution directory.
fdic_institution_financials — quarterly financial time-series for one institution (by cert #).

fdic_bank_failures — historical bank failures & assistance transactions.
fdic_industry_summary — industry & state banking-sector annual aggregates.
echo_search_facilities — search EPA-regulated facilities by state with compliance/enforcement screening.
echo_facility_report — EPA ECHO Detailed Facility Report for one facility (by FRS RegistryID).
Financial disclosure — SEC EDGAR (8)
edgar_lookup_cik — company ticker/name → 10-digit SEC CIK.
edgar_company_filings — a company's SEC filings.
edgar_company_facts — curated XBRL financial facts for a filer.
edgar_company_concept — one filer × one XBRL concept × full reported time-series.
edgar_xbrl_frames — cross-filer XBRL cross-section (one concept across all filers for a period).
edgar_full_text_search — full-text search across EDGAR filings, 2001–present.
edgar_filing_index — bulk cross-filer filing index for a quarter.
regulations_search_comments — search public comments on rulemakings.
regulations_get_docket — one Regulations.gov docket by id.
ecfr_search — full-text search across all of CFR (titleNumber=48 for FAR); returns ranked SNIPPETS. For the FULL text of a hit: far_clause_lookup (FAR/DFARS clause) or ecfr_get_section (any other title); or open its ecfrUrl.
ecfr_get_section — the FULL in-force text of one CFR section by citation (e.g. title 2 §200.1 grants, title 29 labor). For FAR/DFARS (title 48) prefer far_clause_lookup.
ecfr_list_titles — all 50 CFR titles + last-amended dates.
far_clause_lookup — authoritative FAR/DFARS clause text + its prescription ("As prescribed in…") for an exact clause number. Carries farOverhaulRisk currency caveat.
far_search — FAR/DFARS-scoped topic search (excludes GSAM, collapses to current in-force version). Feeds far_clause_lookup.
far_compliance_matrix — cited-clause list (1–25) → proposal-ready Section L/M matrix with pass/fail gate flags (Section 889 / limitations on subcontracting / CMMC). A 404 → unresolved, an eCFR-down clause → separate errored bucket; never drops a clause.
gsa_benchmark_labor_rates — GSA CALC awarded-ceiling market band (a min/median/max DISTRIBUTION, fully burdened — do not re-add wrap; not a single price).
sam_search_wage_determinations — find SCA / Davis-Bacon wage determination(s) for a locality (filter coverage sca/dba, state, county; query matches WD number/title, NOT occupation).
sam_get_wage_rates — prevailing-wage + fringe/H&W rate table parsed from a WD + EO minimum-wage floor (check parseConfidence).
bls_timeseries — BLS time series (CPI-U / ECI escalation, PPI, employment) — the escalation layer.
bls_oews_wages — benchmark occupational wages & employment (OEWS) by area × occupation.
treasury_debt_to_penny — daily total US public debt outstanding.
treasury_avg_interest_rates — average interest rate Treasury pays by security type.
treasury_monthly_statement — Monthly Treasury Statement: receipts, outlays, deficit/surplus by month.
treasury_query_dataset — escape-hatch query over 5 confirmed Treasury Fiscal Data datasets.
🔑 bea_regional_data — regional (county/state/MSA) GDP-by-industry + personal income (BEA Regional; requires free BEA_API_KEY — throws without it; a bad key returns HTTP 200 with an Error object → surfaced as invalid_input; suppression codes → null).
🔑 census_business_patterns — establishments / employment / annual payroll by NAICS × geography (Census CBP; requires free CENSUS_API_KEY; suppression sentinels → null, never 0; geoId/naicsCode are strings).
🔑 fred_search_series — search the FRED macro series catalog (GDP/CPI/rates/unemployment/PPI; requires free FRED_API_KEY). Feed id into observations.
🔑 fred_series_observations — time-series observations for a FRED series (requires free FRED_API_KEY; missing value '.' → null, never 0).
gsa_perdiem_rates — federal travel per-diem: monthly lodging (varies seasonally) + M&IE meal caps by city+state OR zip (keyless via DEMO_KEY; ~10 req/hr shared — set DATA_GOV_API_KEY for more).
Health & research funding — NIH · NSF · ClinicalTrials · CMS · NPPES (9)
cve_lookup — NIST NVD CVE records by cveId or keyword/CPE/severity/date, each row JOINED with CISA KEV status (severity + mandated remediation date in one row). not-in-KEV ≠ safe. Optional NVD_API_KEY raises the rate.
cisa_kev_lookup — filter the CISA KEV catalog standalone (binding BOD 22-01 / BOD 26-04 due-dates). Works when NVD is rate-limited. not-in-KEV ≠ safe caveat on every response.
Trade & tariffs — USITC (1)
hts_lookup — US import-tariff classification + duty rates from the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
Geo, disaster & state/local open data — Census · FEMA · Socrata · CKAN (8)
census_geocode_address — one-line US address → matched address + Census geographies (tract, CD, place).
census_geographies_by_coordinates — longitude/latitude point → Census geographies.
opengov_list_governments — directory of 525+ US state/local governments on OpenGov Procurement (filter by state/query); feed a result's code to the next tool.
opengov_search_solicitations — a government's LIVE public solicitations (title, status [open = accepting], deadline, portal link). Consumes only the anonymous endpoints the public portal itself calls (keyless).
bonfire_list_organizations — curated live-verified 186-org US seed directory of governments on Bonfire (Euna) (filter state/query); feed a result's org to the next tool.
bonfire_search_opportunities — an org's currently-open opportunities via keyless RSS (referenceNumber, name, closeDate, link). The RSS is the complete open set (totalAvailable = the exact open count).
arcgis_hub_discover_datasets — discover ArcGIS Hub datasets by keyword (GIS / infrastructure / permits / zoning / procurement — the SLED layer Socrata & CKAN don't cover). Global open platform → a DISCOVERY aid (publisher surfaced for vetting), not a curated official-source allowlist.
arcgis_feature_query — query rows from a curated allowlist of 23 US-gov ArcGIS REST feature layers: DC OCP PASS live solicitations (~25k); local-gov checkbooks/contracts (Las Vegas, Baltimore, Naperville, Worcester, Topeka, Miami-Dade…); state DOT bid/award registers (TX / AK / IA / OK). Honest match-count total; epoch-ms date disclosure.
Dataset discovery — data.gov (1)
datagov_search_datasets — search the data.gov v4 catalog for federal open datasets across all publishing agencies.
Small business — SBA (1)
sba_size_standard — SBA size standard for a 6-digit NAICS (set-aside eligibility gate). Returns standardType (receipts/employees/assets), normalized threshold, unit, footnote; value is asOf retrieval — re-verify for high-stakes eligibility.
Labor compliance — US DOL (2)
dol_list_datasets — browse the DOL enforcement/compliance dataset catalog (WHD wage-hour, OSHA, OFCCP, ILAB, MSHA…). Keyless. agency/query filtering is client-side. Feed a row's apiUrl + agencyAbbr into the next tool.
🔑 dol_get_dataset — fetch records from ONE DOL dataset (requires free DOL_API_KEY — data endpoint has no keyless tier, throws without it). Records surfaced VERBATIM (envelope key-gated/unverified); totalAvailable null unless the response carries a real count.
Lobbying & influence — US Senate LDA (1)
lda_search_filings — Senate lobbying filings: who is paid HOW MUCH to lobby WHICH agency on WHICH issue (keyless; optional LDA_API_KEY raises the rate). totalAvailable is the API's real ~1.95M-filing match count, not page rows; income/expenses null-never-0.
Server utilities — key discovery (1)
api_key_status — list every key the server can use, required vs optional, signup URL, what it unlocks, and whether each is currently set (a boolean — the value is NEVER shown). The live source of truth for key config.
nws_active_alerts — live National Weather Service alerts (disaster-readiness, pairs with FEMA).
cbp_border_wait_times — live CBP border-crossing wait times.
search_gov_domains — the authoritative CISA get.gov registry (resolve which org owns a .gov; map SLED entities).
SLED local procurement (the state/local/education bid layer) — three complementary keyless surfaces: (1) socrata_query / socrata_discover_datasets now reach 53 curated hosts — state + major-city (NYC City Record, Chicago/SF/LA) + a deep county/city sweep (KC MO, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Dallas, Baton Rouge, Fulton/Howard/Ramsey/Macoupin/Prince George's counties, MA-Comptroller CTHRU, USAC E-Rate live bids…) — contracts / vendors / checkbook / live solicitations; (2) opengov_* (525+ govs' live solicitations) and bonfire_* (per-org open-opportunity RSS) for the bid-notice feeds Socrata doesn't carry; (3) arcgis_feature_query for gov ArcGIS-REST layers (DC live solicitations, state DOT bid/award registers). For a "who's bidding / what's open in " question, try opengov/bonfire first, then the local Socrata host.
feedback — build a PREFILLED GitHub issue link (bug / feature / wrong_output) for the USER to open & submit (the server never posts). Use when the user reports a problem or wants a missing capability. schema_drift / upstream_unavailable errors also carry a report URL.
Standard workflows
Workflow 1 — Discover + qualify a single opportunity
sam_search_opportunities (NAICS/agency/state) — or sam_search_shaping for pre-RFP Sources Sought/Presol.
Best hit: sam_get_opportunity(noticeId) for POCs + attachments[].
SOW depth: sam_fetch_description for full RFP text.
Read the attachments (Workflow 8).
(Optional) usas_get_agency_profile for issuing-agency context.
Workflow 2 — Competitive landscape ("who wins at agency X")
If agency is an abbreviation: usas_lookup_agency first (canonical name + toptier code).
usas_search_awards with canonical name + NAICS + FY.
Line items: usas_search_individual_awards. Award actions: fpds_search_awards.
Office-level: usas_search_subagency_spending.
(Optional) usas_spending_over_time for the trend.
Workflow 3 — Recompete radar
usas_search_recompetes for agency × NAICS (window −90d..+18mo; filter pscCodes/setAside/minAwardValue). Soonest-first.
Per candidate: usas_get_award_detail (PoP + set-aside + competition) or usas_analyze_incumbent (incumbent + public pressureHints).
Cross-reference sam_search_shaping (same NAICS) to catch pre-RFP shaping while still shapeable.
Workflow 4 — Teaming / supply-chain map
usas_search_individual_awards for prime awards at the target agency.
usas_search_subawards filtered by prime → sub network.
Per sub: usas_get_recipient_profile (alternate names/hierarchy) + sba_size_standard(naics) (small for the set-aside?).
Find NEW partners: usas_search_teaming_partners(cert, naics, agency) — ranked, exclusion-screened (see Workflow 10).
Workflow 5 — Capture brief / agency intelligence
usas_lookup_agency → canonical name + toptier code.
usas_get_agency_profile — mission + scale.
usas_get_agency_budget_function — where the budget goes.
🔑 bea_regional_data(tableName, geoFips, lineCode) — regional GDP-by-industry / personal income (needs BEA_API_KEY).
(Occupational depth) bls_oews_wages(area, occupation) — wage/employment for the labor category.
The establishments/employment/wages + GDP triad; only census_business_patterns and bea_regional_data need a key.
lda_search_filings(agency, issue) — who lobbies the target agency, on what, for how much (keyless).
Narrow by registrantName / clientName to profile a competitor's B2G footprint (income/expenses null-never-0; totalAvailable is the real match count, not page rows).
Workflow 15 — Labor-compliance vetting (NEW)
dol_list_datasets(agency|query) — find the WHD wage-hour / OSHA inspection dataset (keyless catalog); grab a row's apiUrl + agencyAbbr.
🔑 dol_get_dataset(agency, table, filterField, filterValue) — pull the enforcement records for a partner (needs DOL_API_KEY; records surfaced verbatim).
Workflow 16 — Cyber compliance (NEW)
For FedRAMP / CMMC / SBOM component review:
cve_lookup(cveId | keyword) — severity + CISA KEV status joined in one row.
cisa_kev_lookup(cveId | vendorProject) — standalone KEV membership + the binding remediation due-date (works even when NVD is rate-limited). not-in-KEV ≠ safe.
Workflow 17 — Health / research pursuit (NEW)
nih_reporter_search_projects / nsf_search_awards — awarded research grants on a topic (funder/competitive intel).
clinicaltrials_search_studies → clinicaltrials_get_study; clinicaltrials_facet_counts for the distribution.
cms_search_datasets → cms_query_dataset — CMS Open Payments industry→physician payments; nppes_lookup_provider to confirm a provider NPI.
Workflow 18 — Config / which keys are set (NEW)
api_key_status — the live source of truth: every key, required vs optional, signup URL, what it unlocks, and whether it's currently set (boolean; value never shown).
For the 4 required keys not set, point the user to the signup URL (see Keys section). To confirm a key WORKS, call that source's own tool.
Output discipline (anti-hallucination)
Cite tool calls inline: "VA awarded $410M to Booz Allen across 28 contracts in FY26 (usas_search_awards)."
Never invent notice IDs, NAICS codes, recipient names, contract amounts, regulation citations. If a tool returns nothing, say so.
Use autocomplete guards FIRST: NAICS theme → usas_autocomplete_naics; recipient name → usas_autocomplete_recipient; agency abbreviation → usas_lookup_agency.
Quote sparingly from RFP body / regulation text — at most 1 snippet, < 15 words; point to the source URL.
totalAvailable is the real upstream total, not the rows on this page — report it as the match count; page forward when hasMore.
Suppression / missing → null, never 0 — Census/BEA/QCEW/FRED/per-diem/LDA all map a withheld or missing value to null; a genuine 0 is preserved. Never read a null as "$0".
Key-required tools throw without a key — the 4 🔑 tools (Census, FRED×2, BEA, DOL data) return an honest config error, not a fake empty. Check api_key_status.
Notice IDs starting with demo- are fictional demo fixtures; they don't exist on sam.gov.
Common pitfalls
❌ "VA" passed directly as agency to USAspending → nothing. ✅ usas_lookup_agency("VA") first.
❌ Searching opportunities with no ncode/query — useless deluge. ✅ Always narrow.
❌ Quoting an old noticeId from training — they expire. ✅ Always fresh sam_search_opportunities.
❌ sam_fetch_description before sam_get_opportunity — you don't have the noticeId yet.
❌ Confusing usas_search_cfda_spending (grants) with usas_search_psc_spending (contracts).
❌ A NAICS code from training unverified — they get retired. ✅ usas_autocomplete_naics.
❌ Treating sam_fetch_attachment_texttext:null as a bug — it's honest (image-only / unreadable-keyless, reason disclosed).
❌ ecfr_search for an exact FAR clause (e.g. 52.212-4) — mis-ranks GSAM 552.212-4. ✅ far_clause_lookup (exact) / far_search (topic).
❌ Reading ofac_screen_entity / sam_check_exclusions / sam_integrity_lookup empty as "responsible" — empty = "no ACTIVE match"; FAPIIS has no keyless API (never "clear"). ✅ Also check fapiisUrl; verify UEI/CAGE.
❌ Expecting sam_lookup_notice_fields to just work — OFF by default (enabled:false until SAM_GOV_ENABLE_CSV=1). ✅ Few notices → sam_get_opportunity each.
❌ Treating gsa_benchmark_labor_rates as a single price or adding wrap — it's a fully-burdened CEILING distribution.
❌ gao_protest_lookup is complete:false (recent ~25-item feed only), not full history.
❌ Calling a 🔑 tool (Census/FRED/BEA/dol_get_dataset) with no key — it THROWS. ✅ api_key_status first; set the free key.
❌ Reading a Census/BEA/QCEW/FRED null as 0 — it's suppression/missing, never zero.
❌ Reporting a page's row count as the total — totalAvailable is the real upstream match count (e.g. LDA's ~1.95M corpus); page forward on hasMore.
❌ Summing bls_qcew rows across aggregation levels / ownerships — the file mixes them; a do-not-sum note rides every response.
❌ Treating a CVE/component not on CISA KEV as "safe" — KEV is a curated subset of confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; absence ≠ unexploited.
❌ Coercing dol_get_dataset records — the envelope is key-gated/unverified, so rows are surfaced VERBATIM; totalAvailable is null unless the response carries a real count.
Keys & rate limits
Most tools are keyless. Ask the server live with api_key_status — it lists every key, whether required or optional, the free signup URL, what it unlocks, and whether each is currently set (a boolean; the value is never shown). Set keys via the host env block OR a .env file in the server's working directory (auto-loaded; real env wins). Every key below is free.
Required — the source has NO keyless tier, so the tool throws without it:
Env var
Unlocks
Free signup
CENSUS_API_KEY
census_business_patterns
api.census.gov/data/key_signup.html
FRED_API_KEY
fred_search_series, fred_series_observations
fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/api_key.html
BEA_API_KEY
bea_regional_data
apps.bea.gov/API/signup/
DOL_API_KEY
dol_get_dataset (the DOL data endpoint; dol_list_datasets catalog is keyless)
dataportal.dol.gov/registration
Optional — only raise a rate limit or unlock one filter (all tools work keyless without them):
Env var
Effect
SAM_GOV_API_KEY
authenticated SAM.gov v2 search + the organizationName filter + full archive (>~12mo)
DATA_GOV_API_KEY
higher limits across api.data.gov sources (Regulations.gov, FAC, NPPES, CMS, data.gov catalog, GSA per-diem) — lifts the shared DEMO_KEY cap
LDA_API_KEY
higher rate on lda_search_filings
BLS_API_KEY
BLS v2 tier (~500/day vs keyless ~25/day) for bls_timeseries (QCEW/CSV path is un-rate-limited regardless)
NVD_API_KEY
higher NVD rate for cve_lookup
SOCRATA_APP_TOKEN
higher Socrata throttling limits
Creating the account at a signup URL is the one manual step; the server automates discovery (api_key_status) and configuration (.env). To confirm a key actually works, call that source's own tool.
Reporting problems & requesting features
This server has a built-in, PULL-only feedback path — use it to help the user improve the tool:
On a schema_drift or upstream_unavailable error, the { ok: false, error } envelope carries a report URL (a prefilled GitHub issue link). If the failure looks real or persistent, offer it: "This looks like the government API changed / is down — you can report it here: <report URL>."
When the user reports a bug, says a result looks wrong, or wants a capability this server lacks, call the feedback tool with kind (bug | feature | wrong_output), optional tool, and a short non-sensitivesummary. It returns a reportUrl for the user to open and submit.
Never post anything yourself — the server only builds the link; the human opens and submits it. The repo is public, so never put secrets, personal data, or sensitive query values in summary (and tell the user to redact them).
