Our reading of Sam Gov, from the data
Sam Gov is an MCP server from itcustomsolution, listed in the official MCP Registry.
We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.
It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (SAM_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
