# Get help. AcqAgent is a small, independent project. Here is how to get help with the GAO protest search server, the Nexus dashboard and the rest of the site. ## Email Write to [acqagent.ai@gmail.com](mailto:acqagent.ai@gmail.com?subject=Support). Say what you were doing, what you expected and what happened instead. For the server, include the assistant you used (ChatGPT, Claude or another), the B-number or the search, and roughly when it happened. Replies can take a few days. ## Report a bug or ask for a feature Open an issue on GitHub: [acqagent/mcps](https://github.com/acqagent/mcps/issues) for the GAO protest search server, or [acqagent/GAO-Bid-Protest-Nexus](https://github.com/acqagent/GAO-Bid-Protest-Nexus/issues) for the Nexus dashboard. The [contribute page](https://acqagent.ai/contribute) explains how corrections and contributions are handled. ## The GAO protest search server The server lets AI assistants search and compare more than 29,000 GAO bid protest decisions. Its address is `https://mcp.acqagent.ai/mcp`, and it needs no sign-in. To check whether it is up, open [mcp.acqagent.ai/health](https://mcp.acqagent.ai/health). When all is well it shows `"ok": true` and the number of decisions. It has five tools, and all of them only read: - **Search decisions** by an issue or fact pattern in plain language, with optional filters for outcome, agency, years, contract type and record type. - **Get a decision** by B-number: its summary, issues, reasoning, outcome, key points and a link to gao.gov. - **Find similar decisions** to a given one, with the same filters. - **Compare a decision** with its five closest matches: what they share, how they differ, and grounds to distinguish them. - **Corpus info**: what the server covers and the filter values it accepts. ## Connecting it The server accepts connections from ChatGPT and Claude. In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, choose Add custom connector, paste the address and choose No sign-in if asked. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds it under Organization settings, then Connectors. Apps that connect from your own computer, such as Claude Code, can't connect to it; use it through ChatGPT or Claude instead. ## Common problems - **"No decision found."** Check the B-number. B-420562, b-417297.2 and B 417297.2 all work. A few decisions are not in the corpus; search by topic to find related ones. - **"Too many requests."** The server limits how fast any one source can send requests. Wait a minute and try again. - **"The shared daily (or monthly) allowance of tool calls is used up."** To stay free, the server has a daily and a monthly limit on tool calls, shared by everyone who uses it. The message says when it resets: midnight UTC for the daily limit, the 1st of the month for the monthly one. - **"This server accepts connections from ChatGPT and Claude."** The app you are using connects from your own computer rather than through ChatGPT's or Claude's servers. Add the server in ChatGPT or Claude instead. - **A summary or outcome looks wrong.** The analyses are generated by AI models and can be wrong. Check the decision on gao.gov, then email the B-number and what is wrong so it can be fixed. - **The assistant doesn't use the tools.** Mention GAO bid protest decisions or a B-number in your question, or ask it to use Bid Protest Nexus. ## Privacy and terms What the server receives and keeps is on the [privacy page](https://acqagent.ai/privacy). The rules for using it are in the [terms of use](https://acqagent.ai/terms).
