Get an API key\n\n[bidsparq.com/settings/api-keys](https://bidsparq.com/settings/api-keys) → Create Key → copy the `bsq_live_...` value.\n\n### 2. Add to your MCP client\n\n#### Claude Desktop\n\nEdit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"bidsparq\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\"-y\", \"bidsparq-mcp-server\"],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"BIDSPARQ_API_KEY\": \"bsq_live_...\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nRestart Claude Desktop.\n\n#### Claude Code (CLI)\n\nAdd to `.mcp.json` in your project (or `~/.claude/mcp.json` globally):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"bidsparq\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\"-y\", \"bidsparq-mcp-server\"],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"BIDSPARQ_API_KEY\": \"bsq_live_...\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n#### Cursor\n\nEdit `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"bidsparq\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\"-y\", \"bidsparq-mcp-server\"],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"BIDSPARQ_API_KEY\": \"bsq_live_...\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n#### Cline / RooCode / Continue\n\nSame JSON shape — refer to your extension's MCP config docs and paste the snippet above.\n\n## Try it\n\nAfter install, ask your AI client:\n\n- *\"Find me primes who hire subs in NAICS 541512\"*\n- *\"What's the typical award amount for VA software contracts?\"*\n- *\"Show me wired RFPs in defense IT so I know what to avoid\"*\n- *\"What contracts are coming up for recompete in cybersecurity?\"*\n- *\"Tell me about NASA's buying patterns\"*\n- *\"Find HUBZone businesses in Texas for NAICS 541512\"*\n\n## Configuration\n\n| Env var | Required | Default | Notes |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| `BIDSPARQ_API_KEY` | yes | — | `bsq_live_...` from your settings page |\n| `BIDSPARQ_BASE_URL` | no | `https://bidsparq.com` | Override for self-hosted / staging |\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n- **`Invalid BIDSPARQ_API_KEY`** — Key is wrong, expired, or revoked. Create a new one in your settings.\n- **`Pro Max plan required`** — Upgrade at [bidsparq.com/plan](https://bidsparq.com/plan).\n- **`Rate limit exceeded`** — Pro Max has fair-use limits to protect against runaway scripts (per-minute: 60, per-hour: 500, daily cost cap). The 429 response includes a `Retry-After` header. Most users will never see this; if you do, slow your loop or contact support.\n- **`BidSparq MCP is not yet enabled in your account`** — MCP is in staged rollout. Email hello@bidsparq.com for early access.\n\n## Privacy\n\n- The MCP server only sends data you explicitly query for (NAICS, agency names, search terms).\n- Your conversations stay in your AI client — BidSparq sees only the tool calls.\n- API keys are bcrypt-hashed at rest; only the first 12 chars (`bsq_live_xxx`) are visible after creation.\n\n## License\n\nMIT.
