## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.

  - Actively maintained (last published 7 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 65/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 677 tokens (~225/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100
  - Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `gov_contracts_search` (~294 tokens)

Search AWARDED US state & local government contracts, normalized across jurisdictions (keyless open data). Filter by vendor (winning supplier), keyword (contract title/description), awarding agency, and minimum dollar amount. Covers state and county contract registries — pass a `jurisdiction` key (see gov_contracts_jurisdictions) to target one, or omit it to search all covered jurisdictions at once. Returns each contract with its ID, vendor, title, agency, amount, and dates. This is STATE/LOCAL award data (for federal contracts use USAspending/SAM tools).

Input parameters:

- `agency` (string): Awarding agency/department to match (case-insensitive substring). Not all jurisdictions carry an agency field.
- `jurisdiction` (string): Jurisdiction key to target (e.g. "tx", "wa", "king-county-wa"). Omit to search all covered jurisdictions. Use gov_contracts_jurisdictions to list keys.
- `keyword` (string): Match against contract title/description (case-insensitive substring), e.g. "software", "road".
- `limit` (number|string): Max contracts per jurisdiction (default 20, max 100).
- `min_amount` (number|string): Only contracts whose value is at least this many dollars.
- `vendor` (string): Winning vendor/supplier name to match (case-insensitive substring), e.g. "Microsoft".

### `gov_spending_search` (~252 tokens)

Search US STATE government spending / vendor payments — the 'checkbook' data of what an agency actually PAID a vendor (distinct from an awarded contract's value). Keyless. Filter by vendor, awarding agency, spending category keyword, and minimum amount. Pass a `jurisdiction` key (see gov_contracts_jurisdictions) to target one state, or omit it to search all covered states. Returns vendor, agency, amount, category, and fiscal year. Use gov_contracts_search for awarded contracts; use this for actual payments/expenditures.

Input parameters:

- `agency` (string): Paying agency/department to match (case-insensitive substring).
- `jurisdiction` (string): State key to target (e.g. "nj", "vt", "or", "md", "mo"). Omit to search all covered states.
- `keyword` (string): Match against the spending category/description (case-insensitive substring).
- `limit` (number|string): Max records per state (default 20, max 100).
- `min_amount` (number|string): Only payments of at least this many dollars.
- `vendor` (string): Vendor/payee name to match (case-insensitive substring).

### `gov_contracts_jurisdictions` (~73 tokens)

List the US state & local jurisdictions covered by this pack, split into contract-award jurisdictions (gov_contracts_search) and spending/checkbook jurisdictions (gov_spending_search), with each one's key, level (state/county/city), data platform, source dataset URL, and live record count.

The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Us Gov Contracts MCP server expose?

Us Gov Contracts exposes 3 tools: gov_contracts_search, gov_spending_search, gov_contracts_jurisdictions. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 619 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Us Gov Contracts MCP server still maintained?

### What licence is the Us Gov Contracts MCP server under?

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Us Gov Contracts MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Us Gov Contracts, 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.
