Claude Code

Raw JSON-RPC

curl -s https://mcp.porb.dev/servers/usaspending/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $PORB_KEY" \

  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
A focused endpoint beats the aggregate. /mcp exposes all 161 tools at once, which is convenient but measurably degrades model tool-selection. Prefer /servers/<slug>/mcp when you know which dataset you need.

Every server proxies a public US government API. Upstream rate limits are shared, so quotas are enforced per account and results are cached aggressively.
