Install Gov Tenders & Grants MCP: SAM.gov, Grants.gov, USAspending, UK, EU TED in Continue

What you need first

• Continue, installed.
• Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Continue connects to it.

Steps

1. Open ~/.continue/config.yaml. On Windows it is %USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.yaml.
2. Add this entry. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the item from - name on.

mcpServers:
  - name: "gov-tenders-mcp"
    type: streamable-http
    url: "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=publicrecords/govcon-opportunity-feed,publicrecords/grants-gov-scraper,publicrecords/usaspending-awards-scraper,publicrecords/uk-find-a-tender-scraper,publicrecords/eu-ted-notices-scraper,publicrecords/legistar-meetings-scraper"

3. Save the file and restart Continue.

Check it worked

Ask Continue: List the tools of gov-tenders-mcp.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized

The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Continue asks.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid YAML any more. Check that the entry is indented like the lines around it.
