Who it is for
Procurement staff at public agencies, and the suppliers bidding for their work.
Cooperative contract and supplier search for public agencies
Overview
Civic Marketplace sits between public buyers and the vendors that serve them. On the agency side, cooperative contracts and suppliers can be found, quote requests created and managed, and messages exchanged with vendors.
Suppliers have their own path through the same app: responding to posted opportunities and keeping a marketplace profile current.
The example prompts show the shape of the questions it takes. Comparing software contracts across suppliers, scope, lead entity, and terms. Filtering to WOSB-certified cybersecurity vendors in a given state. Reading an office furniture contract for its scope, pricing, term dates, and who is eligible to buy from it.
Procurement staff at public agencies, and the suppliers bidding for their work.
Both sides of a procurement, buyer and supplier, are served through the same app.
Availability
Civic Marketplace ships this on both marketplaces: Civic Marketplace is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.
ChatGPT listing
Claude listing
Civic Marketplace publishes 89 tools to Claude, a deeper surface than 97.4% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors, the top decile.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Productivity publishes 12, so this one runs 77 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 13th of 462 by tool count.
It falls in the 51+ tools band, which holds 9.6% of the Claude directory.
Civic Marketplace publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
https://mcp.civicmarketplace.com/mcp Civic Marketplace is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
Connect Claude to Civic Marketplace to search cooperative contracts and suppliers, read authorized contract documents, manage agency quote requests and inbox conversations, and complete supplier dashboard workflows. Access is controlled by OAuth, account permissions, and tool-level scopes. Read-only and write actions are clearly separated, and Claude requests approval for actions that may modify data or notify others.
Quoted from the connector's own Claude directory listing as captured in August 2026. Node8 did not write it and does not vouch for it.

Claude
This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Civic Marketplace's public marketplace listings as they stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Civic Marketplace, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
