# MCP Server: Tool Defintions
## The GovSpend Spark MCP server exposes 20+ tools across four categories. You never call these tools directly — you simply ask your AI assistant a question in plain English, and it selects the right tool, runs it, and answers using real GovSpend data scoped to your account's existing entitlements.

#### **Integration Notes**
- **Read-only posture.** All GovSpend MCP tools are read-only. No tool writes, modifies, or deletes any data.
- **Entitlement-scoped.** Every tool call returns only data your GovSpend account is already entitled to see — the MCP grants no additional access.
- **Production endpoint:** `https://mcp.govspend.com/mcp`
- **Health check:** `https://mcp.govspend.com/health`
