## MCP tools (5)

### `ca_procurement_awards` (~420 tokens)

Search California STATE government contract awards & purchase orders from the official State Contract and Procurement Registration System (SCPRS) on data.ca.gov. Each result is a State purchase order / award with its awarding department (agency), the winning supplier (vendor), the dollar amount, acquisition type/method, item description, and dates. Filter by supplier, department/agency, keyword, fiscal year, acquisition type, and/or a minimum amount; results are ranked by dollar amount (biggest awards first) by default. Use this for questions like "who won California state contracts", "biggest suppliers to the CA Department of Health Care Services", or "CA state purchase orders for laptops". This is CALIFORNIA STATE data (not federal).

Input parameters:

- `acquisition_type` (string): Acquisition type substring, e.g. "IT Goods", "NON-IT Services", "IT Services".
- `department` (string): Awarding State department / agency name (case-insensitive substring), e.g. "Health Care Services", "Transportation".
- `fiscal_year` (string): Exact state fiscal year, e.g. "2014-2015" (available: 2012-2013, 2013-2014, 2014-2015).
- `keyword` (string): Case-insensitive substring to match against the item name/description, e.g. "laptop", "consulting".
- `limit` (number|string): Max records to return (default 20, max 100).
- `min_amount` (number|string): Only return awards whose total price is at least this many dollars, e.g. 100000.
- `offset` (number|string): Number of records to skip for pagination (default 0).
- `sort` (string): Sort order: "amount" = largest award first (default), "date" = most recent creation date first.
- `supplier` (string): Winning supplier / vendor name to match (case-insensitive substring), e.g. "Microsoft", "Pitney Bowes".

### `ca_procurement_supplier` (~170 tokens)

Aggregate a supplier's California STATE contract awards from the SCPRS purchase-order data on data.ca.gov: total dollars awarded, number of purchase orders, and a breakdown by awarding department (agency) and by fiscal year. Matches the supplier name as a case-insensitive substring, so it also surfaces name variants (e.g. "Pitney Bowes" vs "Pitney Bowes, Inc"). Use this to size up a single vendor's business with the State of California. This is CALIFORNIA STATE data (not federal).

Input parameters:

- `fiscal_year` (string): Optional: restrict to one fiscal year, e.g. "2014-2015".
- `supplier` (string, required): Supplier / vendor name to aggregate (case-insensitive substring), e.g. "Deloitte", "Dell".

### `ca_procurement_top_suppliers` (~224 tokens)

Rank the biggest suppliers (vendors) to the State of California by total contract/purchase-order dollars, from the SCPRS purchase-order data on data.ca.gov. Answers "who are California's largest state contractors / award winners", optionally scoped to a department/agency, a fiscal year, an acquisition type, or an item keyword. Returns each supplier with total dollars awarded and purchase-order count, largest first. This is CALIFORNIA STATE data (not federal).

Input parameters:

- `acquisition_type` (string): Optional acquisition-type substring, e.g. "IT Goods", "IT Services".
- `department` (string): Optional: restrict to one awarding department/agency (case-insensitive substring), e.g. "Health Care Services".
- `fiscal_year` (string): Optional exact fiscal year, e.g. "2014-2015".
- `keyword` (string): Optional item name/description substring, e.g. "software", "consulting".
- `limit` (number|string): How many top suppliers to return (default 20, max 100).

### `ca_procurement_department` (~163 tokens)

Profile a California STATE department/agency's procurement spend from the SCPRS purchase-order data on data.ca.gov: total dollars, purchase-order count, top suppliers (vendors) it buys from, top commodity categories it spends on, and a by-fiscal-year breakdown. Matches the department name as a case-insensitive substring. Answers "what does the CA Department of Justice buy and from whom", "which agencies spend the most". This is CALIFORNIA STATE data (not federal).

Input parameters:

- `department` (string, required): State department/agency name (case-insensitive substring), e.g. "Justice", "Health Care Services", "Transportation".
- `fiscal_year` (string): Optional: restrict to one fiscal year, e.g. "2014-2015".

### `ca_procurement_commodities` (~169 tokens)

Rank what the State of California spends the most on, by commodity category (UNSPSC commodity title), from the SCPRS purchase-order data on data.ca.gov. Returns each category with total dollars and purchase-order count, largest first, optionally scoped to a department/agency or fiscal year. Answers "what does California buy the most of", "top spending categories for the CA Department of Health Care Services". This is CALIFORNIA STATE data (not federal).

Input parameters:

- `department` (string): Optional: restrict to one awarding department/agency (case-insensitive substring).
- `fiscal_year` (string): Optional exact fiscal year, e.g. "2014-2015".
- `limit` (number|string): How many categories to return (default 20, max 100).

## Common questions

### What is the Ca Procurement MCP server?

Ca Procurement is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/ca-procurement. California State Procurement MCP, State contract awards & purchase orders (keyless). This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-ca-procurement).

### Is the Ca Procurement MCP server safe to use?

Ca Procurement scores 82 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Ca Procurement MCP server expose?

Ca Procurement exposes 5 tools: ca_procurement_awards, ca_procurement_supplier, ca_procurement_top_suppliers, ca_procurement_department, ca_procurement_commodities. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,146 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Ca Procurement MCP server still maintained?

Ca Procurement is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Ca Procurement MCP server under?

Ca Procurement declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Ca Procurement MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Ca Procurement, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
