## What it does

This server opens access to GSA CALC+ pricing data directly from your coding assistant. It bundles 8 tools to query maximum hourly wages recorded across more than 230,000 federal MAS procurement entries.

You can connect directly to the hosted HTTP endpoint at `https://gsa-calc.1102tools.com/mcp` or run it on your machine with `uvx`. For running the command locally, the `uv` tool must be present in your environment.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)
- Remote server: `https://gsa-calc.1102tools.com/mcp`
