- Choose a prompt and check its Required MCPs line.
- Set up the required MCPs locally from their setup guides, or install the hosted versions from the Claude and ChatGPT directories. Configure any required API keys outside chat and confirm that your client can see the tools.
- Replace the bracketed details, then ask your assistant to run the prompt. Check source links, dates, and missing information before using the results.
The print guide and the online library contain the same 56 prompts for all nine MCP sources. These examples describe available source tools; this edition is not a claim that every prompt has been re-run against live APIs.
Local or hosted
Every MCP works in Claude or ChatGPT two ways. Local runs it on your computer, inside the Claude or ChatGPT desktop app or another AI app. Hosted runs it on Cloudflare, so it works anywhere you use Claude or ChatGPT. Local is the better setup for daily work, and you don't have to set it up by hand: give your AI the local setup guide and ask it to set it up or walk you through it.
All nine are in the Claude and ChatGPT directories as hosted installs.
| Local | Hosted |
|---|
| Why use it | Your own full rate limits, so you skip any congestion on hosted | Always up to date. No keys, and it works in Claude or ChatGPT anywhere |
| Works in | Claude or ChatGPT desktop apps and other AI apps, on a desktop or laptop | Claude or ChatGPT on web, desktop, and phone |
| Setup | Ask your AI to set it up from the setup guide. Free keys for SAM.gov, Regulations.gov, and GSA Per Diem | Install from the Claude or ChatGPT directory. No keys |
| Rate limits | Your own, in full | Pooled across all users. Your lookups stay private |
| Relies on | Government sources | Government sources and Cloudflare |
| Privacy | Runs on your computer. Nothing passes through 1102tools | No tracking. Searches aren't logged and IP addresses aren't kept |
| CUI | Lookups go straight from your computer to the government source. Nothing reaches 1102tools. Use it with an AI your agency approves for CUI | Only the lookup your AI sends (like a NAICS code or vendor name) reaches the server. Never your chat or files, and searches aren't logged. Whether CUI can go in your chat depends on the AI you use |
| Updates | Manual. Local installs don't update themselves. Ask your AI to update them | Automatic. Always runs the latest release |
| SAM.gov | Full edition: 20 tools, free key | 6 tools, no key |
Use hosted if you're on your phone, your work computer blocks installs, or you want SAM.gov opportunity, public registration, or exclusion research without a key.
Hosted services temporarily cache some public government responses. Some responses are cached in bounded memory; no conversations or query/result logs are retained. Their code and Cloudflare setup are public in federal-contracting-mcps. Cloudflare still handles connection data such as IP addresses, and Claude or ChatGPT handles your conversation under its own privacy policy.
A prompt does not install an MCP. Connect every source listed under Required MCPs before running it; if two are listed, both are required. Other sources and MCP clients use the individual server setup instructions below.

Combine sources
Use multiple MCPs to connect award history, company records, and pricing context.
Size up a competitor
Size up [COMPANY]: use USAspending to show contract obligations over the last 24
months, top agencies, and main work. Confirm the company's name and UEI. With
SAM.gov, add registration status, returned certification evidence, and exclusions.
If Hosted SAM.gov is connected, report its source file dates, distinguish
certification codes from detailed certification dates, and confirm current
registration on SAM.gov; flag missing evidence. Finish with two sentences on
strengths and exposure.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov + USAspending
Edition: Hosted SAM.gov supplies dated public registration, certification codes with any listed exit dates, and exclusions; use Local full for live API details and certification entry dates.
The graduation window
Find firms with 8(a) set-aside awards under NAICS [NAICS] in USAspending. Check each
selected recipient's SBA certification dates in SAM.gov and the end dates of its
relevant awards. Flag documented program exit dates within 18 months that overlap
with contract end dates within 12 months. Show the dates and source records. Treat
missing certification data as unresolved, not proof of graduation; treat an
approaching award end as a research lead, not a confirmed recompete.
If SBA exit dates aren't available from the connected SAM.gov server, list the
award-end leads and mark the 8(a) exit date as a check to do on SAM.gov.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov + USAspending
Edition: Hosted SAM.gov supplies monthly public certification codes and any listed 8(a) exit dates, and flags exit dates that have passed; confirm current certification with SBA.
Vet a teammate
Vet [COMPANY] as a teammate: check exclusions and registration expiration with
SAM.gov, then use USAspending to show whether they have primed work for [AGENCY],
including purchases funded there but awarded elsewhere. List other recent federal
work. If Hosted SAM.gov is connected, report its source file dates and confirm
current registration on SAM.gov. Flag missing evidence; opted-out entities are not
included in the hosted public mirror.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov + USAspending
Edition: Hosted SAM.gov supplies dated public registration and exclusion checks; confirm current registration on SAM.gov.
Opportunity evidence screen
Build an opportunity evidence screen for [NOTICE ID]. Pull the opportunity from
SAM.gov, then use USAspending to find comparable work at that agency under the same
NAICS, including award sizes, end dates, and evidence of a current incumbent. Keep
public facts separate from assumptions. List the internal capability, vehicle, past
performance, staffing, pricing, and risk-tolerance facts we still need; do not make
the company's bid/no-bid decision from public data alone.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov + USAspending
What did the government actually pay?
Find comparable federal contracts for [REQUIREMENT] under NAICS [NAICS] in
USAspending, skipping ones with a different scope. For each, show how it was
competed, obligations, current value, potential value with all options, and outlays
(money actually paid out) where reported, naming the field behind each number, plus
performance dates. Then show CALC+ ceiling rates for the matching labor categories
separately. Don't turn a total award amount into an hourly rate without a documented
staffing and period of performance basis.
Required MCPs: USAspending + GSA CALC+
Find opportunities
Start with the requirement, deadline, and notice. Keep amendments and incomplete searches visible.
What federal IT work is coming that isn't out for bid yet?
Using the SAM.gov tool, show me federal IT work that's coming but not out for bid
yet:
- NAICS starting with 5415 (all computer and IT services)
- Only Sources Sought and Presolicitation notices
- Still open for responses
First, count them by agency so I can see who's planning the most IT buying.
Then list the most interesting ones in a table with response due date, title,
agency, set-aside (if any), and sam.gov link.
Pick the 5 biggest or most strategic opportunities and say in one line each why a
company should respond now.
Keep notices with no stated deadline; flag sole-source intent, and only call an
opportunity big when its notice states a value.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Open solicitations, deadline first
Find current SAM.gov Solicitation and Combined Synopsis/Solicitation notices for
NAICS [NAICS] due between today and [N] days from now. Fetch all matches, remove
duplicate notice IDs, and sort by deadline. Show title, agency, deadline and time
zone, set-aside, and SAM.gov link. Exclude expired deadlines. Note snapshot date,
active-file coverage, missing fields, and attachment limits.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Sources sought and RFIs
Find sources sought notices under NAICS [NAICS] from the last 60 days, then
separately search notice titles for RFI. Identify the returned notice types and flag
response deadlines within two weeks. If I supply PSC [PSC], run a separate PSC
search, merge the results, and deduplicate by notice ID. Identify limits or missing
pages instead of treating a partial search as complete.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Read one opportunity properly
Retrieve opportunity [NOTICE ID] from SAM.gov, including the full description when
available. Summarize the requirement, response deadline, evaluation approach if
stated, and any explicit incumbent references. Cite the notice and distinguish
stated requirements from your interpretation. Identify attachments or amendments the
MCP did not retrieve.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Fresh award notices
Find contract award notices under NAICS [NAICS] posted to SAM.gov in the last [N]
days. Show the winner, reported amount, award date, posting date, notice ID, and
source link where available. Keep missing amounts or dates marked as missing. If few
results appear, report the search coverage and offer a wider window; do not infer
that no awards occurred or assume every award posts immediately.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
One agency's postings
Find current SAM.gov notices for NAICS [NAICS] posted in the last 90 days by
[AGENCY]. Show title, agency path, notice type, posting date, response deadline, and
SAM.gov link, including postings with past deadlines. List the department, sub-tier,
and office names matched by the agency filter; command names may miss subordinate
field offices.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Research competitors
Confirm the recipient identity before comparing customers, awards, and subcontracting records.
Find the right recipient record
Search USAspending recipients for [COMPANY] and list every match with its lifetime
award total and whether it is the parent rollup or a subsidiary record. The same
company appears several times and the totals differ by a lot, so name the record you
pick and use it in everything that follows. If the search returns only near-misses,
try the other recipient search tool before deciding the company is not in the data.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Their last 12 months
Pull [COMPANY]'s federal contract activity over the last 12 months. For each award,
show award ID, agency, NAICS, performance end date, obligations added minus removals
during that window, and cumulative award obligations separately. Sort by obligations
added minus removals in the window, largest first. Add "in NAICS [NAICS] only" if I
want one code.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Where their money comes from
Retrieve [COMPANY]'s federal contract awards for the last two years from USAspending
using the selected recipient record. Summarize obligations by awarding agency, with
agency share and the underlying award count. Use compatible source filters and
paginate as needed. If only a sample is retrieved, state its size and selection
method and label the shares as sample shares, not the company's complete revenue
concentration.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Who they sub to
Find who [COMPANY] reports subcontracting work to. Confirm its recipient identity,
retrieve its ten largest contract prime awards by cumulative obligations, and search
all reported subaward pages for each. List prime ID, subcontract recipient, report
amount and action date. Explain that these are the company's subcontractors, not
primes it works under, and that absent reports do not establish self-performance.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Track potential recompetes
Award end dates identify research leads. They do not guarantee a new solicitation.
An agency's expiring contracts
Find [AGENCY]'s contract awards under NAICS [NAICS] above $[FLOOR] with recorded
performance end dates in the next nine months. Use USAspending's available filters
and paginate through the results; if end dates require local filtering, explain the
coverage. Flag implausible dates, possible follow-on awards, and option-period
uncertainty. Present the results as potential recompete leads, not confirmed future
solicitations.
Required MCPs: USAspending
When a company's contracts end
List [COMPANY]'s USAspending contract awards with recorded performance end dates
between today and [N] months from now. Sort the selected results by end date and
report the recipient identity, award ID, agency, amount field, and end date. If the
tool cannot filter directly by end date, paginate and filter the retrieved records.
State incomplete coverage and distinguish award end dates from confirmed recompete
plans.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Vet companies and find teammates
Use entity identifiers, registration records, and supporting evidence to build a useful shortlist.
Exclusion check
Check whether [COMPANY / UEI] has any exclusion records. If records exist, tell me
whether any are currently active and what they are for.
If Hosted SAM.gov is connected, report the source file name and date. Entity records
are monthly snapshots; opted-out entities are not included in the hosted public
mirror. Confirm current registration and material exclusion findings on SAM.gov
before relying on them.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Edition: Hosted SAM.gov supplies dated public exclusion records; verify current findings on SAM.gov.
Registration status at a glance
Look up [COMPANY] in SAM.gov and tell me: is the registration active, when does it
expire, what is its primary NAICS, and what socioeconomic categories does it hold?
If more than 1 active registration exists, say how many and name the UEI you picked
before answering.
Do not infer corporate ownership from a shared address alone.
If Hosted SAM.gov is connected, report the source file name and date. Entity records
are monthly snapshots; opted-out entities are not included in the hosted public
mirror. Confirm current registration and material exclusion findings on SAM.gov
before relying on them.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Edition: Hosted SAM.gov supplies monthly public registration records and certification codes; confirm current registration on SAM.gov.
SBA certification dates
Retrieve [COMPANY]'s SBA certification fields from its SAM.gov entity record. Report
each listed program, status, entry date, and exit date using the source's own
labels. Distinguish a documented date from an inferred current status. An empty
certification list or a historical set-aside award does not by itself prove present
eligibility, graduation, or ineligibility.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Edition: Hosted SAM.gov shows certification codes and any listed exit dates; entry dates and live status need the Local full SAM.gov edition.
Registration, exclusion, and integrity evidence
For [UEI], retrieve the current SAM.gov registration status and exclusions, then
request the separately available entity integrity information. Report the source,
retrieval date, entity match, and any access restrictions or missing records.
Present the evidence and unresolved gaps without making a responsibility
determination.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Edition: This prompt needs the Local full SAM.gov edition for live API or detailed certification/integrity fields.
Historical contract activity by fiscal year
Using the confirmed recipient UEI for [COMPANY], retrieve USAspending dated contract
transactions for [START FY] through [END FY], one fiscal year at a time. Report
query coverage, transaction and distinct-award counts, and the earliest returned
action date. Page within a stated scope. Distinguish reporting gaps, unsupported
periods and empty responses; the earliest returned action is not proof of the
company's first federal award.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Build a teaming shortlist
Build a teaming shortlist from active SAM.gov registrants in [STATE] with NAICS
[NAICS] anywhere on their records and [SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS]. Use the server's
appropriate business-type or SBA-certification filter. Report the total count and
returned page size, paginate within the agreed scope, and deduplicate by UEI. Show
each firm's name, UEI, relevant NAICS, registration expiration, and returned
certification status and dates. Flag missing evidence and explain search coverage.
If Hosted SAM.gov is connected, report the source file name and date. Entity records
are monthly snapshots; opted-out entities are not included in the hosted public
mirror. Confirm current registration and material exclusion findings on SAM.gov
before relying on them.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov
Edition: Hosted SAM.gov supplies monthly public registration records, certification codes, and any listed exit dates; entry dates and live details require Local full.
Understand a market
Keep fiscal years, amount fields, and geography consistent when comparing spending.
Who an agency pays under your code
Show [AGENCY]'s USAspending contract obligations under NAICS [NAICS] for the most
recently completed fiscal year. State the exact fiscal-year dates, show the
available sub-agency breakdown, and list the top ten recipients. Distinguish a
single returned category from complete organizational detail and identify any source
or filter limitations.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Where the work is, by state
Show federal contract obligations under NAICS [NAICS] by place-of-performance state
for the most recently completed fiscal year. State the exact period and geography
basis, sort the states by amount, and separate unknown locations. Do not describe
recipient headquarters spending as the location where work is performed.
Required MCPs: USAspending
An agency's set-aside share
Estimate the share of [AGENCY]'s contract obligations under NAICS [NAICS] associated
with small-business set-aside codes over the last two years. Use matching periods
and award filters for numerator and denominator, list the codes included, and show
the calculation. Keep unknown classifications separate where the source allows.
Explain that set-aside coding is not the same measure as all awards to small
businesses.
Required MCPs: USAspending
The five-year trend
Show [AGENCY]'s USAspending contract obligations under NAICS [NAICS] for the last
five completed fiscal years. Give the exact fiscal years, amounts, year-over-year
changes, and a short explanation of the trend. Keep any current partial fiscal year
separate. Treat past obligations as market context rather than a forecast of future
opportunities.
Required MCPs: USAspending
The big vehicles
Identify large IDVs under NAICS [NAICS] in USAspending, stating the amount field and
period used for ranking. For the vehicle I select, retrieve its detail and linked
child awards. Use additional searches only when their relationship to the vehicle
can be supported. Report missing links or incomplete coverage; do not conclude that
an active vehicle has no orders solely from an empty response.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Find the right codes
Use source references for NAICS, PSC, and size-standard research.
Find your NAICS
What NAICS code covers [BUSINESS ACTIVITY]? Give me the code and the closest
alternates so I do not file under the wrong one.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Retrieve the size standard
Use the eCFR MCP to retrieve the currently available size-standard table in 13 CFR
121.201 for NAICS [CODE]. Return the matching industry, dollar or employee
threshold, and relevant exceptions or footnotes, with the source date and citation.
If the table, row, or notes cannot be retrieved completely, state that limitation
and do not supply a threshold from memory.
Required MCPs: eCFR
Find your PSC
Find PSC codes for [SERVICE AND DELIVERY MODEL], with official names. Check current
or retired status in the official PSC manual; mark unverified status unknown.
Separate codes for current opportunities from legacy codes for award history.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Decode a PSC
Use the available PSC reference tools to retrieve PSC [CODE], its official
description, and related categories. Report active or retired status only if the
returned reference explicitly provides it. If status or a detailed definition is
unavailable, identify that gap instead of inferring it from a missing search result.
Required MCPs: USAspending
Codes to opportunities, one chain
Find the PSC code for [SERVICE], then search SAM.gov opportunities under that exact
code with a response deadline still open. Codes first, opportunities second, one
chain.
Required MCPs: SAM.gov + USAspending
Compare labor rates
CALC+ rates are awarded ceilings. Compare like categories and disclose differences.
Find the right labor category title
I do not know GSA's exact labor category title for [ROLE]. Show me the closest
matching titles with how many rate records each carries, so I search the right
string.
Required MCPs: GSA CALC+
The rate distribution
Show CALC+ ceiling-rate distributions for labor-category titles matching [LABOR
CATEGORY]. Identify the exact titles, filters, record count, and available
percentile or summary statistics. Compare relevant education and experience groups
using supported filters. Explain whether results combine multiple titles, and do not
present calculated precision beyond what the source supports.
Required MCPs: GSA CALC+
A company's rate card
Pull [COMPANY]'s GSA rate card and every row whose labor category contains
[KEYWORD]. Ask for the total category count and page through until you have every
row; the card reports which rows came back and whether more remain. There is no
server-side vendor-plus-keyword search, so the keyword screen happens on the rows
you fetched.
Required MCPs: GSA CALC+
Where does this rate sit?
Position $[RATE]/hr for [LABOR CATEGORY] against relevant awarded CALC+ ceiling-rate
distributions. Show the comparison set, percentile band, geography, education and
experience differences, and data limitations. Do not call the rate defensible,
reasonable, fair, or acceptable; leave that determination to the authorized
official.
Required MCPs: GSA CALC+
Research wages
BLS wages describe a labor-market input. Show the occupation, location, and data year.
What the labor earns
Use BLS OEWS to find median and 75th-percentile annual wages for [OCCUPATION] in
[METRO AREA]. Confirm the available data year, SOC code, and geographic match first.
Report missing, suppressed, or unavailable figures explicitly, along with the source
period; do not silently substitute a different year or location.
Required MCPs: BLS OEWS
Metro versus metro
Compare wages for [OCCUPATION] across [METRO 1] and [METRO 2], then pull the
national median separately as the baseline. I am deciding where a position can
realistically be staffed.
Required MCPs: BLS OEWS
Raw wage, your burden math
Give me the raw BLS wage for [OCCUPATION] in [METRO], median and 10th and 90th
percentile, current data year, with no loaded-rate estimate attached. The burden
math is mine.
Required MCPs: BLS OEWS
Market floor against awarded ceiling
Compare the BLS OEWS wage for [OCCUPATION] in [METRO] with CALC+ ceiling rates for a
closely matched labor category. Keep raw wages and fully burdened ceiling rates
distinct. If showing a burdened-wage scenario, use [BURDEN MULTIPLIER] or ask me to
supply it, and show the formula. Explain occupation, experience, geography, and
pricing-basis differences.
Required MCPs: GSA CALC+ + BLS OEWS
The whole staffing picture
Compare median wages for [OCCUPATION 1], [OCCUPATION 2], and [OCCUPATION 3] side by
side in [METRO]. I am pricing a mixed labor category task order and want the whole
staffing picture in one table, not separate lookups.
Required MCPs: BLS OEWS
Estimate travel
Name the location and travel dates before using lodging or M&IE rates.
Lodging and M&IE
Retrieve GSA lodging and M&IE rates for [CITY, STATE] in [FISCAL YEAR]. Show
seasonal lodging changes, the matched locality, and the rate period. Identify an
unmatched or fallback locality clearly before using the rates in an estimate.
Required MCPs: GSA Per Diem
Price a trip
Estimate per-traveler lodging and M&IE for [N] nights in [CITY, STATE] during
[MONTH, YEAR]. Use the matching fiscal-year rates, identify the locality, show the
daily components, and apply the tool's first/last-day M&IE treatment explicitly.
State the assumed travel days and exclude airfare and other expenses unless
separately supplied. Ask for a date if it is missing instead of silently pricing
another season.
Required MCPs: GSA Per Diem
The ZIP fallback
Look up GSA per diem for ZIP [ZIP] in [FISCAL YEAR]. Report the locality actually
returned, lodging seasonality, and M&IE. If the ZIP lookup also falls back or fails
to match, keep that uncertainty visible rather than treating the location as
confirmed.
Required MCPs: GSA Per Diem
Read the regulations
Retrieve the relevant codified text and its source date; check completeness before quoting.
The FAR as it reads today
Retrieve FAR [CITATION] using the eCFR MCP's latest available Title 48 date. Quote
the relevant text and provide the citation and source date. Inspect its version
history and compare relevant revisions before calling a change substantive;
distinguish publication, amendment, effective, and retrieval dates when the source
supplies them.
Required MCPs: eCFR
What changed in a FAR part
Find sections in FAR Part [PART] with eCFR version changes in the last year, then
compare before and after section by section for the changes relevant to [TOPIC].
State the dates used and distinguish substantive wording changes from editorial or
structural changes. Identify incomplete comparisons rather than claiming the entire
part was reviewed.
Required MCPs: eCFR
Chase a FAR definition
Find the FAR definition of [TERM] using the eCFR MCP. Retrieve the relevant section
or complete matching definition, including numbered subparagraphs and exceptions.
Give the citation and source date. If a large section such as FAR 2.101 is
truncated, identify the missing portion and do not present a partial definition as
complete.
Required MCPs: eCFR
Follow published changes
Separate direct rulemaking documents from related mentions and background notices.
What's moving on a topic
Search Federal Register documents on [TOPIC] from the last 6 months across all
document types, ordered by relevance; the live items are often notices and RFIs, not
just proposed rules. For anything with an open comment period, give me the deadline.
Required MCPs: Federal Register
Which agencies are moving
Count Federal Register documents on [TOPIC] by agency for the last twelve months
using the available facet tools. State the date range, search terms, document types,
and returned counts. Use the result to choose which agencies to examine next; a
count alone does not indicate the significance of a policy change.
Required MCPs: Federal Register
Track a FAR case
Trace FAR Case [NUMBER] through Federal Register documents in date order. Separate
documents directly addressing the case from Unified Agenda entries or other notices
that merely mention it. Show proposed, final, withdrawn, and effective-date
information only where supported, with source links and any gaps in the retrieved
history.
Required MCPs: Federal Register
Explore dockets and comments
Make the docket, deadline, sample, and supporting documents clear.
Open for comment right now
What is open for comment right now on [TOPIC]? Use the Federal Register's open
comment periods with a term filter for this one; the Regulations.gov version filters
by agency only. Give me the docket ID, or the document number when a notice carries
no docket, and the closing date.
Required MCPs: Federal Register
The real FAR and DFARS pipeline
Find FAR and DFARS proposed rules with open comment periods using the
Regulations.gov MCP's available agency and document filters. Check the relevant FAR
and DARS agency codes, then distinguish actual proposed rule changes from routine
information-collection notices. Return the docket or document ID, title, closing
date, source link, and any filter or coverage limitations.
Required MCPs: Regulations.gov
Read organizational comments in a docket
For docket [DOCKET ID], find organizational comments using terms such as
association, chamber, coalition, or institute. Group them by the document commented
on. Read full comment text or attachments before summarizing positions, and cite
each source. If attachments are unreadable, say so rather than infer positions from
snippets. Explain the keyword selection; it is not all comments or a measure of
consensus.
Required MCPs: Regulations.gov
FAR Overhaul and deviations
Keep codified text, FAR Overhaul model text, and agency deviations separate, with source dates.
Find the model text and the agency's posted deviation
Use the Acquisition.gov MCP to retrieve the FAR Overhaul model text for FAR Part
[PART] and find posted deviations for [AGENCY] and that part. Retrieve the relevant
indexed deviation documents. Report source links, retrieval dates, and any stated
effective dates or applicability language, with PDF page references. Keep the model
text separate from the agency's documented action, and clearly identify missing or
conflicting evidence. Do not decide which rule governs my procurement.
Required MCPs: Acquisition.gov
Compare codified text, model text, and an agency deviation
Compare the current codified text for FAR [CITATION] using eCFR with the relevant
FAR Overhaul model part and [AGENCY]'s posted deviation using Acquisition.gov. Show
the three sources separately, cite exact sections or PDF pages, and explain the
differences. Include retrieval dates and document-stated dates. Do not treat model
text as agency adoption or infer applicability from a filename.
Required MCPs: eCFR + Acquisition.gov
Maintaining this library
Edit catalog/prompts.json, then run python tools/build.py. The README, PDF, and website are generated from that one file. python tools/build.py --check verifies that generated copies match. See maintenance notes.
