Key takeaways

The short version.

  • GovContracts.Money checks SAM.gov each morning and reports new opportunities that fit your business, with the deadline and the official SAM.gov link.
  • Lindy accepts a custom MCP server by its public HTTPS address, with an optional bearer token, custom header or query parameter, so you can add the app's address yourself.
  • Lindy does the work around the match: a message to your team, a task, a reminder. GovContracts.Money supplies the contract and the sources.
  • Nothing here is an official listing, partnership or built-in integration with Lindy. You add the address yourself.
  • Both tools report public information. Neither gives legal advice, submits a bid or decides whether you should respond.

  • One finds the contract.

It is for small businesses and teams that look for federal work and lose time between seeing a notice and getting the right people to read it: contractors, consultants, bid and proposal staff, and owners who wear every hat.

GovContracts.Money checks SAM.gov each morning and sends the opportunities that are new and fit your business, each with a deadline, a fit score, possible gaps to check, past winners and the official link. Lindy builds AI agents that run work automations, such as messaging people and following up.

One finds the contract. The other makes sure someone looks at it before the date passes.

Use cases

4 ways people use GovContracts.Money + Lindy.

  1. Team follow-up

    1. Start a team thread for each new match

    When a new opportunity arrives, a Lindy agent can post it to the people who decide whether to respond: the title, the deadline, the fit notes and the official SAM.gov link. Everyone starts from the same facts instead of a forwarded email.

    Ask the agent to include the possible gaps GovContracts.Money lists, so the first reply can be a question such as whether you hold a required certification.

  2. Deadline reminder

    2. Set a reminder before the response date

    Every opportunity comes with a deadline. Ask the agent to schedule a reminder a week before it and another two days before, addressed to the person who owns the bid.

    Check the deadline on the official SAM.gov notice before you rely on any reminder. The notice is the source, and dates can change.

  3. Quick read

    3. Ask for a one-paragraph summary

    Federal notices are long. Have the agent turn the opportunity into a short paragraph: what is being bought, where, by when and why it was flagged as a fit. Keep the official link next to it.

    Tell the agent to use only what the result says. A short summary is a starting point for a human to read the notice, not a replacement for reading it.

  4. Ask anytime

    4. Search on request from the same agent

    Because Lindy can use the tools from a connected MCP server, you can also ask it to look something up, for example construction contracts in Virginia, and get the open matches ranked by fit with deadlines and official links.

    That is useful before a planning meeting, when the question is what is open right now.

How to

How do I connect GovContracts.Money to Lindy?

  1. Step 1

    On the Connect AI page of [govcontracts.money](https://govcontracts.money), get your free API key and personal link. The MCP address for other MCP-compatible apps is https://govcontracts.money/mcp, used with your key.

  2. Step 2

    In Lindy, open Integrations, choose + Add, then MCP. Enter the server URL and a display name. Under Advanced, add your key as a bearer token, custom header or query parameter, as the app's site describes.

  3. Step 3

    Click Connect. Lindy lists the server's tools and lets you turn individual ones on or off. In the guardrails you can choose Ask for approval, so Lindy checks with you before it uses a tool.

  4. Step 4

    Build an agent that uses the connection, add the team message and reminder steps, and test it on a search you already know the answer to.

Lindy describes custom MCP servers in its documentation. It supports hosted servers with a public HTTPS address, and menus can change, so follow that page. GovContracts.Money also sends a daily email. A Lindy agent can start from an email, which is another way to begin, but this post describes the MCP connection. GovContracts.Money is not listed by Lindy or built into it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is GovContracts.Money an official Lindy integration?

No. There is no partnership or built-in integration. Lindy lets you add a custom MCP server by its address, and you add the app's address yourself. The app is an AgentStructure.AI app.

Does GovContracts.Money tell me whether to bid?

No. It reports public opportunities from SAM.gov with a fit score and possible gaps. It is not legal advice, and it never submits a bid. You read the notice and decide.

Does it send me texts?

The app's site describes texts from your own AI assistant. Texts from the service itself are listed as rolling out soon. The daily email of new matches is available now.

What does it cost?

The apps are free during the beta, with unlimited searches and a daily email on the free key. Check the site for the current plan details. Lindy has its own plans, so check its pricing page.

Should I trust the reminder date?

Treat it as a prompt. Confirm every deadline on the official SAM.gov notice, because notices can be amended.
