npx -y @govrider/mcp-server
MCP client config
{
"mcpServers": {

"@govrider/mcp-server"
]
}
}

Match your tech product or consulting service to thousands of live government tenders, RFPs, grants, and frameworks from 25+ official sources worldwide.
GovRider is for any tech company, consultancy, or individual with a technology product or service. You don't need to be a government specialist. If you build or sell technology, there are governments looking to buy it.
