PrimeRFP SCOUT — Govcon Intelligence MCP
Plug SCOUT into your agent to query federal and SLED govcon intelligence—SAM, USASpending, recompetes, hearings, and policy search—in one private MCP.
Overview
PrimeRFP SCOUT is an MCP server for the Idea phase that unifies federal and SLED govcon intelligence from SAM, USASpending, recompete, hearings, policy, and search for private agent use.

- Data surfaces include SAM, USASpending, recompete signals, hearings, and policy intel
- Private AI positioning with hosted streamable-http at mcp.primerfp.com/mcp
- OAuth client-credentials or X-PrimeRFP-Key style authorization per manifest

- Server version 1.0.1; remote mcp.primerfp.com/mcp
- Federal plus SLED coverage stated in description
What problem does it solve?
Govcon opportunity research is fragmented across portals and hearing sites, so solo pursuers waste days before they even know who incumbents are.
Who is it for?
Indie govcon consultants, small primes, and builders shipping pursuit tools who already sell or plan to sell into federal and SLED markets.
Skip if: Consumer app founders with no contracting motion who need generic SEO or social growth connectors instead.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Once SCOUT is authorized in your MCP client, your agent can pull consolidated intel for pursuit lists, recompete watches, and competitive snapshots.
- Agent-queryable govcon search across SAM, spend, and policy-oriented intel
- Recompete and hearing-oriented context for pursuit planning
- Private-AI-friendly competitive snapshots for BD notes
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Idea → Competitors is canonical because the tool supports opportunity discovery and incumbent contract intelligence before you build a govcon product or pursuit workflow. Competitors subphase matches SAM/USASpending/recompete lenses used to see who holds contracts and what is coming open, not generic audience personas.
How it compares
Govcon intelligence MCP aggregator, not a proposal-writing agent skill or accounting ledger.
