Claude for Government Contractors: CLEATUS Joins the Claude Connector Directory

Claude for Government Contractors: CLEATUS Joins the Claude Connector Directory

Author:Mithat Cakmak

Claude is one of the most widely used AI assistants in professional teams, and government contractors are no exception. Starting this month, CLEATUS is officially listed in the Claude connector directory, which means any Claude user can connect their CLEATUS workspace in a few clicks and put a GovCon teammate inside the assistant they already use.

TL;DR

  • CLEATUS is in the official Claude connector directory. Find it at claude.ai/directory/cleatus, click Connect, and sign in with your CLEATUS account. No URLs to paste, no configuration files.
  • Claude gets live access to real contract data. Search federal, SLED, and Canadian opportunities plus pre-RFP forecasts across 50,000+ government sources, ranked against your company profile instead of guessed from training data.
  • It does the work, not just the reading. Manage your pipeline, create and assign tasks, run saved searches, and draft and execute Workflows without leaving the chat window.
  • One CLEATUS account, every assistant. The same login powers the CLEATUS ChatGPT app, so an opportunity you add to the pipeline in Claude is there when a teammate asks ChatGPT about it.

Connect CLEATUS to Claude

One-click connection from the official Claude connector directory. Your existing CLEATUS login becomes Claude's GovCon toolkit.

Why a Directory Listing Matters

CLEATUS has supported Claude through our MCP connector for a while, and teams that found the setup page got real value out of it. But a custom connector still asked the user to know what MCP is, find our connector URL, and add it by hand. That is a developer's workflow, not a capture manager's.

The directory listing removes all of that. CLEATUS now appears inside Claude's own catalog, in the Productivity, Data, and Sales and Marketing categories, alongside the other tools your team already connects. Search for CLEATUS, click Connect, sign in. That is the whole setup. If you have ever added Google Drive or Slack to Claude, you already know how to add your GovCon pipeline.

Claude With CLEATUS vs Claude Alone

Claude on its own is a strong writer and a careful reader. What it lacks is your data. Ask a bare model about live contract opportunities and it can only answer from stale training data or generic web search results. Ask it about your pipeline and it has nothing at all. We covered this gap in Stop Prompt Engineering, Start Winning Contracts: the model was never the bottleneck, the context was.

The connector closes that gap. With CLEATUS connected, Claude reads from and writes to the same workspace your team uses in the CLEATUS dashboard:

It searches real, current opportunities. Federal, SLED, and Canadian solicitations plus pre-RFP forecasts across 50,000+ government sources. When Claude says a contract exists, it is because the contract exists in our database, not because it sounds plausible.

It sees the opportunities before the RFP drops. Our forecast and recompete intelligence surfaces expected solicitations early, so you can ask Claude what is coming in your NAICS codes next quarter, not just what posted yesterday.

It knows your company. Recommendations are ranked against your capture profile, past performance, and preferences. "Show me my top recommendations" returns your matches, not a keyword dump.

It takes action. Add an opportunity to the pipeline, create and assign tasks, save a search, dismiss a bad recommendation, or kick off a Workflow. The work lands in CLEATUS where your team can pick it up, and writes are confirmed before they happen.

What to Ask Once You Connect

Every example below is a prompt you can paste into Claude verbatim once the connector is active.

Find and Qualify Opportunities

  • "Show me my top recommendations today."
  • "Find IT services contracts posted in the last 14 days."
  • "Summarize my top recommendation in plain English and tell me why it matched."
  • "What recompetes are forecast in my NAICS codes over the next six months?"

Work Your Pipeline

  • "What's in my pipeline right now and where do things stand?"
  • "Add the most relevant new opportunity to my pipeline."
  • "Create a task to draft the technical approach and assign it to me, due Friday."
  • "Dismiss the recommendation I'm least interested in."

Automate the Repeatable Parts

  • "Save this search and alert me when new matches post."
  • "Run my proposal compliance check Workflow on my latest opportunity."
  • "Help me draft a new Workflow that scores incoming matches against our bid criteria."

That last group is where the connector stops being a chat trick and starts being an operating layer. CLEATUS Workflows automate multi-step capture processes end to end, and Claude can now draft and trigger them conversationally.

How to Connect in Under a Minute

  1. Open claude.ai/directory/cleatus, or go to Settings, then Connectors, and search for CLEATUS.
  2. Click Connect to Claude.
  3. Sign in with your existing CLEATUS account and pick the entity to scope the connection to.
  4. First prompt to try: "Show me my top recommendations today."

The connection uses OAuth sign-in scoped to your CLEATUS entity: Claude sees only the workspace you authorize, and you can disconnect it from the same settings screen at any time. Developers who prefer Claude Code or a custom client can point any MCP-compatible tool at the same connector; setup guides for every major platform live at cleat.ai/agents.

One Workspace, Every Assistant

You do not have to standardize your team on a single AI assistant to get a single source of truth. CLEATUS is now listed in both the ChatGPT App Directory and the Claude connector directory, and both surfaces read and write the same workspace. Your capture lead can live in Claude while your proposal writer lives in ChatGPT, and the pipeline stays one pipeline.

That is the direction we think the whole industry is heading, and we wrote about it in The Best Claude MCP Servers for Business Workflows: the AI is becoming the operator, and the product's job is to be operable. For GovCon teams, CLEATUS is the operable layer.

"The assistant your team already uses is the best interface for capture work. The data underneath it is what decides whether the answers are real."
