Getting started

Make WARNO work for your company.

Tell us what you do, find the right opportunities, and let email alerts bring new matches to you.

How WARNO scores a match: where the 0 to 100 score on every notice comes from (codes, phrases, limits).

What’s new: what changed in the latest release, and the releases before it.

Start with these three steps

01 · COMPANY PROFILE

Tell us what you do

Add your company description, industry codes, certifications and preferred work locations. Upload your capability statement to review suggested details.

Complete Company Profile →
02 · SEARCH

Find your opportunities

Start with your services, then narrow by agency, set-aside, location and deadline. Open a solicitation to see its requirements and documents.

Search U.S. Federal →
03 · EMAIL ALERTS

Save it once. Stay informed.

Use Save & Alert above the search results. Give the search a name and choose daily or weekly email updates.

Set up your first alert →

New opportunities, straight to your inbox

The gold Save & Alert button is in the toolbar above the filters and results on U.S. Contract Search. You can save different searches for different services, regions or customers.

  1. Open U.S. Federal and set your filters. For example, search your service, then choose the locations and agencies you work with.
  2. Select Save & Alert, enter a recognizable search name, and choose Daily or Weekly (Mondays). Choose Off, just save it if you only want a shortcut.
  3. Select Save. The confirmation shows the email address receiving your alerts.
  4. On your Dashboard → Email alerts, choose your delivery time, time zone and schedule. Keep the overall schedule on; Never pauses alert emails even when a saved search has alerts selected.
  5. Use Send me a test alert now on the Dashboard to check delivery. Look in spam or junk if it does not arrive.

Manage each saved search on your Dashboard. You can also include strong company matches and updates for opportunities you follow. Alerts are available with eligible Core access; saved-search email alerts currently cover U.S. Federal. Grants, SBIR/STTR and foreign searches can be saved, but do not send these alerts yet.

A better profile makes research more useful

Company Profile is the first item in the left menu. Keep your logo, company description, capability statement, industry codes, certifications, past performance and contract preferences together there.

After importing a capability statement, review the suggestions and choose what to apply, then save your profile. Add specific matching keywords for the services you actually sell. NAICS codes show their full industry names so you can check your selections.

Use preferences for work you want and exclusions for requirements you cannot meet. Some qualification fields provide context rather than automatically hiding results. A match score helps prioritize research; always check the actual solicitation's eligibility and requirements.

Use WARNO with your AI assistant

You can use the WARNO website on its own, or connect an AI assistant to search and research WARNO data in a conversation. Sign in with the same WARNO email so your plan and company profile match.

WARNO connection URLhttps://mcp.getwarno.com
Connect Claude
  1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors and add a custom connector.
  2. Name it WARNO and paste the connection URL above.
  3. Review the detected authentication settings, choose to sign in, and complete WARNO's sign-in and authorization flow. Use automatic client registration if the setup asks how to register the connector.
  4. In a new chat, open + → Connectors and enable WARNO.

For a managed team, an authorized administrator may need to add WARNO in the organization's connector settings first. Each user then connects their own WARNO account.

Connect ChatGPT
  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Security and login and enable Developer mode, if your account and workspace allow it.
  2. Open Plugins, select +, and create a connection named WARNO with the connection URL above.
  3. Use the sign-in/OAuth connection option and complete WARNO authorization. Select automatic client registration if asked; do not paste a password or invent an API key.
  4. Add the WARNO connection from the tools menu in a new conversation, then ask it to use WARNO.

If these controls are missing, check your workspace's permissions or follow the current OpenAI guide. Provider availability and menus can change.

Other AI apps and developer connections

WARNO exposes a remote MCP connection with OAuth sign-in. Choose a client that supports remote HTTP MCP and WARNO's authorization flow, add the URL above, then sign in. Support varies by client.

This is a tool connection to WARNO data. It is not a direct database feed, and the website does not currently issue customer REST API keys. For a custom integration, contact support with the app and workflow you want to connect.

On a phone, check the provider's current instructions. Adding a custom connection on the web or desktop may be required before it is available in the mobile app.

Try your first question

Use WARNO and my saved company profile to find five relevant open government contract opportunities. Show the agency, set-aside, deadline, source link and why each may fit. Flag missing requirements before recommending one.

Confirm that the assistant actually uses the WARNO connection and returns source links. An AI chat does not automatically switch on your website email alerts; set those in Save & Alert.

Need a hand?

If a connection shows the wrong plan, check that it uses the same email as your WARNO account. If alerts are missing, check both the saved search's alert choice and the Dashboard delivery schedule.
