Claude Code: allow. ### `get_api_usage` - The name "get_api_usage" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text This key's usage for the current month: total calls and the separate valuation allowance (which comps, sold history, trend and flip-score draw down), plus the reset date. Call it to pace a long run instead of hitting a 429 mid-task. Every other signed-in tool result already carries the same numbers in `_meta.usage`, so this is rarely needed. Free: it does not count against either allowance. Requires sign-in or an API key. ``` ### `get_comp_coverage` - The name "get_comp_coverage" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text How much sold-price data we hold per category for a market, and which categories can never be priced. Check this before building on the comps tools — it is the honest answer about what we cannot do. Works signed out. ``` ### `get_flip_score` - The name "get_flip_score" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text GovAuctions Flip Score resale signal for one live lot, from any source, in any market with sold-price comps (valued against that market's comp archive): estimated value, effective bid, discount, and the link to the lot on its source site. Pass the lot id as it appears in a govauctions.app lot URL. Requires sign-in or an API key. ``` ### `get_listing` - The name "get_listing" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Get one live GSA listing by its id (facts only). Works signed out. ``` ### `get_price_trend` - The name "get_price_trend" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Month-by-month median sale price for an item, plus the first-to-last change — 'is this category softening?'. Computed from the same comps as get_sold_comps, so it never contradicts that range. Returns an empty series when too few months clear the sample threshold. Requires sign-in or an API key. ``` ### `get_sold_comps` - The name "get_sold_comps" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Sold-price comps for a described item, computed across the full government-surplus market in any market listed in `country`. Signed out: coverage (how many comparable sales, confidence, a coarse price band) plus `categoryStats`, the 25th/median/75th percentile of every sale in the item's category (in `state` when it has enough sales). Signed in or with an API key: the 25th/median/75th percentile for this item itself. `liveListingsUrl` links to the live auctions for the same item. A miss says which kind it is: reason `insufficient_comps` (too few comparable sales yet) is worth retrying, reason `category_not_priceable` (real-estate) never is — that category cannot be priced from a title. A catch-all `category` such as `miscellaneous` is not refused: it is dropped and the item is priced on its title alone, with `requestedCategory` and `categoryDropped` echoed back — check the resolved `category` and `confidence` before trusting the range. A miss can still carry `categoryStats` when the item's category is clear, and `retryHint` when the query was a long listing title: retry with just the brand and model. ``` ### `get_sold_comps_batch` - The name "get_sold_comps_batch" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text get_sold_comps for a list of items in one call. Each query is either a string ('2015 Ford F-150') or an object with its own q/category/country/state. Each item costs one valuation lookup, exactly as if sent alone; an item that comes back without a range is not charged. If the monthly allowance runs out part-way, the items already priced are returned and `batch.truncated` names the rest. Batch size is capped by plan (10 on the free allowance). Requires sign-in or an API key. ``` ### `get_sold_history` - The name "get_sold_history" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text The individual archived sales behind an item: title, final price, sale month and state, plus the range they produce. Use when you want the evidence rather than just the number. Query-anchored — describe an item; there is no way to list the archive. Requires sign-in or an API key. ``` ### `search_listings` - The name "search_listings" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Search live GSA federal-surplus auction listings (facts only — no images). Filter by state, category, keyword, price, or distance from a US ZIP code. Works signed out (up to 25 rows per page). Raw listings cover sanctioned federal sources; sold-price comps span the full market. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `govauctions`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__govauctions__search_listings", "mcp__govauctions__get_listing", "mcp__govauctions__get_sold_comps", "mcp__govauctions__get_sold_comps_batch", "mcp__govauctions__get_flip_score", "mcp__govauctions__get_sold_history", "mcp__govauctions__get_price_trend", "mcp__govauctions__get_comp_coverage", "mcp__govauctions__get_api_usage" ], "ask": [], "deny": [] } } ```
