USAspending.gov integrations

Connect USAspending.gov to any other app, or use it from your AI client over MCP. USAspending.gov is the official open data source for United States federal government spending, covering contracts, grants, loans, and direct payments reported by federal agencies. Callers can search award records by recipient, agency, award type, location, NAICS or PSC code, and time period; retrieve the full detail and transaction history of a single award; look up recipient profiles and agency budget breakdowns; and pull aggregated spending totals by category, state, or fiscal year. Bulk download requests can also be submitted and polled. No credentials required.
