## What it does

The plugin includes the GovTribe MCP connection and eight skills for opportunity discovery, pipeline research, competitor analysis, pricing evidence, proposal work, and document editing. In Claude Code, call a skill with the `/govtribe:` prefix, such as `/govtribe:govtribe-deep-dive` for research on a specific opportunity, agency, or vendor.

Skills include reference material and templates, plus optional Python helpers for document and spreadsheet outputs. Workspace changes and outbound messages require a user request. MCP calls can use GovTribe credits, and the connected account’s permissions control which data and actions are available. You need a GovTribe account with MCP access and credits enabled, along with a Claude plan and workspace that allow plugins and connectors.

# GovTribe

Claude plugin containing the GovTribe MCP connection and eight government contracting skills.

## Requirements

- A GovTribe account with MCP access and credits enabled.
- A Claude plan and workspace that permit plugins and connectors.

MCP calls may consume GovTribe credits. Access to data and workspace actions follows your GovTribe account permissions.

## Installation

### Claude web, desktop, and Cowork

1. Open [GovTribe in the Claude plugin directory](https://claude.ai/customize/plugins/id/plugin_01H6qRziGtLHCr56JPBWyq82) and add the plugin.
2. Open **Customize → Connectors**, select [GovTribe](https://claude.com/marketplace/connectors/govtribe), and complete sign-in and authorization. Reuse an existing GovTribe connection if one is already connected.
3. Start a new conversation. Select a skill from the `/` or `+` menu, or describe the task in your message.

For manual installation, download the plugin ZIP from [Releases](https://github.com/GovTribe/claude-plugin/releases/latest), keep it zipped, and upload it in **Customize → Plugins**. For Cowork, open the Cowork tab first. The directory version may lag the repository while a new release is under review.

Where **Add marketplace** is available, add `https://github.com/GovTribe/claude-plugin` and install **GovTribe**. Marketplace installations support repository updates; ZIP installations are updated by uploading a newer release.

Plugin availability depends on your Claude plan, workspace settings, and app version. See [Claude's plugin installation guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/13837440-use-plugins-in-claude).

### Claude Code

Run these commands inside Claude Code:

```text
/plugin marketplace add GovTribe/claude-plugin
/plugin install govtribe@govtribe
```

Open `/mcp`, select the GovTribe server, and complete sign-in and authorization in your browser. Start a new session after connecting.

If GovTribe is already connected through your Claude.ai account, the skills can reuse that connection when Code is signed in to the same account. See [connection troubleshooting](SETUP.md) for authentication options and API-key session requirements.
