# Government Data MCP Server (`fortuitous_pirate/gov-data-mcp`) Actor - **URL**: https://apify.com/fortuitous\_pirate/gov-data-mcp.md - **Developed by:** [Fortuitous Pirate](https://apify.com/fortuitous_pirate) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Government Data MCP MCP-compatible Apify actor for searching US government data sources. Designed for AI agent access via Apify's MCP endpoint. ### Data Sources | Source | Description | API Key | |--------|-------------|---------| | **SAM.gov** | Federal contract opportunities | Optional (DEMO_KEY available) | | **USAJOBS** | Federal job listings | Required | | **Regulations.gov** | Federal regulatory documents | Optional (DEMO_KEY available) | ### Usage #### MCP Access (for AI agents) Configure your AI client with: ```` https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fortuitous\_pirate/gov-data-mcp ```` #### Example Queries **Search for cybersecurity contracts:** ```json { "action": "sam_contracts", "keywords": "cybersecurity", "naicsCode": "541512", "limit": 25 } ```` **Find software engineer jobs:** ```json { "action": "usajobs", "keywords": "software engineer", "location": "Washington, DC", "salaryMin": 100000, "limit": 25 } ``` **Search AI regulations:** ```json { "action": "regulations", "keywords": "artificial intelligence", "agency": "DOD", "documentType": "proposed_rule", "limit": 25 } ``` ### API Keys #### SAM.gov - Get key at: https://api.sam.gov - Free tier available with DEMO\_KEY #### USAJOBS - Get key at: https://developer.usajobs.gov - Requires API key AND email address #### Regulations.gov - Get key at: https://api.regulations.gov - Free tier available with DEMO\_KEY ### Pay-Per-Event Pricing | Event | Price | Description | |-------|-------|-------------| | `api-call` | $0.005 | Per API call | | `result-returned` | $0.001 | Per result | Example: 25 results = $0.005 + (25 × $0.001) = $0.03 ### Local Testing ```bash cd /home/peteylinux/Projects/Apify/scrapers/gov-data-mcp npm install ## Test SAM.gov (no key needed for basic access) echo '{"action": "sam_contracts", "keywords": "software", "limit": 5}' > storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json npm start ## Check output cat storage/datasets/default/*.json | jq '.[0]' ``` ### Output Fields #### SAM.gov Contracts - `id`, `title`, `type`, `status` - `agency`, `postedDate`, `responseDeadline` - `naicsCode`, `setAside`, `placeOfPerformance` - `url`, `pointOfContact` #### USAJOBS Listings - `id`, `title`, `organization`, `department` - `location`, `salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `salaryType` - `grade`, `schedule`, `openDate`, `closeDate` - `url`, `qualifications` #### Regulations.gov Documents - `id`, `documentId`, `title`, `documentType` - `agency`, `postedDate`, `commentStartDate`, `commentEndDate` - `docketId`, `url`, `summary` ### Deploy to Apify ```bash apify push ``` # Actor input Schema ## `action` (type: `string`): Which government API to query ## `keywords` (type: `string`): Keywords to search for (e.g., 'cybersecurity', 'software engineer', 'AI') ## `naicsCode` (type: `string`): 6-digit NAICS code to filter contracts (e.g., '541512' for Computer Systems Design) ## `status` (type: `string`): Filter by contract status ## `location` (type: `string`): City, state, or 'Remote' (e.g., 'Washington, DC') ## `salaryMin` (type: `integer`): Minimum annual salary in USD ## `agency` (type: `string`): Agency acronym (e.g., 'DOD', 'EPA', 'FDA') ## `documentType` (type: `string`): Filter by document type ## `limit` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of results to return ## `samApiKey` (type: `string`): Your SAM.gov API key (get from api.sam.gov) ## `usajobsApiKey` (type: `string`): Your USAJOBS API key (get from developer.usajobs.gov) ## `usajobsEmail` (type: `string`): Email associated with your USAJOBS API key ## `regulationsApiKey` (type: `string`): Your Regulations.gov API key (get from api.regulations.gov) ## Actor input object example ```json { "status": "active", "documentType": "all", "limit": 25 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("fortuitous_pirate/gov-data-mcp").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
