Connects to federal opportunity databases and SAM exclusion records. Helps contractors search for government contracts, research awards, verify vendor eligibility, and check if entities are excluded from federal work.

Example request: "Check if my business is eligible to bid on federal contracts in my state and industry."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use GovGazette to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://govgazette.com/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- check_exclusions: Check up to 20 identities against a dated active SAM snapshot. Exact identifier matches and name-only possible matches remain distinct. No match is not clearance.
- detail: Retrieve a known public identifier. Supply generation from search for a consistent result.
- document: Read bounded official record text by known identifier. Does not fetch arbitrary URLs or paths.
- exclusion_changes: Compare two retained snapshots. No longer observed does not mean reinstated; enrichment-only changes are excluded.
- exclusion_context: Retrieve an exclusion with agency explanation, named restriction references, source evidence and supported business links.
- explain_match: Explain deterministic primary NAICS overlap between a registered vendor and opportunity. Not an eligibility determination.
- freshness: Report actual source dates, coverage, record counts and SHA256 provenance.
- research_opportunity: Build a cited research brief with retained notice requirements, exact award-number candidates and same-industry comparisons. Does not infer an incumbent or eligibility.
- saved_searches: Manage private saved opportunity searches: list/create/events/delete/rotate_feed/delete_workspace. Requires Authorization Bearer workspace key configured in the client headers, never tool arguments. Ask before creating or deleting. Public research tools do not require this key.
- search: Search public opportunities, vendors, awards, exclusions, or reference collections. Results include provenance and a generation-pinned cursor.
- search_exclusions: Filter active exclusion records by agency, program, classification, geography and dates. Preserve the returned cursor and generation.
- search_opportunities: Find official opportunity records by keywords, industry, set-aside, state, agency and source status. Active does not imply the deadline is open.
