ActiveTool of mcp-gov-auctions
declared in 0.1.0
Search live US government auction lots for physical assets sold to the public — surplus vehicles, heavy equipment, real estate, electronics — from state/local governments (GovDeals, AllSurplus) and IRS seized/forfeited property. Filter by free-text keyword (matched on the item title, e.g. "truck", "excavator", "pickup"), 2-letter state, asset_type (vehicle|equipment|realestate|electronics|other), max_price (current bid ceiling), and closing_within_hours. Returns each lot with source, title, location, current bid, close time, and a link. For historical sold prices use auctions_sold_comps instead.
