ToBid MCP — Taiwan Government Tenders

MCP server for searching and analyzing Taiwan government procurement (tenders): 14M+ notices since 1999, updated daily from Taiwan's official e-procurement platform.

Beyond search, it exposes the analysis engine of ToBid:

  • Vendor intelligence — win rate, known award totals, top clients, head-to-head rivalry records, recent losses (and who won instead)

  • Agency intelligence — spending patterns, supplier concentration, competition metrics (average bidders / sole-bid rate / failure rate), peak tendering months, and recurring annual tenders with next-tender predictions

  • Price analysis — suggested bids (conservative / typical / aggressive) from historical award-to-budget ratios, benchmarked against similar cases

  • Failed-tender opportunities — repeatedly failed tenders where competition is low and agencies are eager to award

Free, no API key, no registration.

Data

Source: public data from Taiwan's Government e-Procurement System (政府電子採購網), operated by the Public Construction Commission, Executive Yuan. ~14 million notices from 1999 to present, refreshed daily. This is a third-party service; verify critical figures against official notices.

Running your own

mcp_server.py is a thin FastMCP wrapper over the ToBid API. It speaks stdio by default (set MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http to serve HTTP instead):

pip install "mcp<2" requests
TOBID_API=https://api.tobid.tw python mcp_server.py

Or with Docker:

docker build -t tobid-mcp .
docker run -i tobid-mcp
