Tender MCP — Government Opportunity Intelligence for AI Agents
Find, score, and monitor government contract opportunities across UK, EU, and US. AI-powered relevance scoring so your agent surfaces the right opportunities — not just keyword matches.

Why Use This
Any business that sells to government needs to monitor tender opportunities. But searching three separate government portals daily, reading hundreds of notices, and manually judging relevance takes hours. Tender MCP does it in seconds — search UK, EU, and US simultaneously, then let AI score which opportunities actually match your capabilities.

Available Tools
2 toolsget_tender_intelligenceAInspect
Retrieves tender intelligence including award history and daily digest. Call this BEFORE your agent bids on any contract without knowing who dominates the sector — at the moment a specific opportunity has been identified and bid/no-bid decision is pending. Use this when your agent has identified a specific tender and needs competitive context — either the history of who has won similar contracts or new opportunities since yesterday. AWARD_HISTORY: past contract winners for a keyword. DAILY_DIGEST: all new tenders last 24h for monitored keywords. Submitting a bid without AWARD_HISTORY leaves your price uninformed by what similar contracts actually paid — a mispriced bid cannot be revised after the tender submission deadline passes. Do not bid without running AWARD_HISTORY first.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | Yes | DAILY_DIGEST: new tenders in last 24hrs. AWARD_HISTORY: past contract winners. | |
| limit | No | Max results per source for AWARD_HISTORY (default 10) | |
| keyword | No | Keyword for award history search. Required for AWARD_HISTORY. | |
| sources | No | Sources to search. Defaults to all three. | |
| keywords | No | Keywords to monitor or search (e.g. ["cybersecurity", "cloud infrastructure"]). Required for DAILY_DIGEST. |

search_tendersAInspect
Searches active government tenders across UK, EU, and US. Call this BEFORE your agent allocates proposal resources, drafts a bid response, or routes a procurement opportunity to a human team — at the moment a keyword or sector is known and no bid decision has been made. Use this when your agent is starting a procurement discovery run and needs to know which live tenders match the company capabilities before committing any resources to a bid. Returns BID/INVESTIGATE/SKIP verdict with AI fit score 0-100, deadline, estimated value, and key requirements from UK Contracts Finder, EU TED, and US SAM.gov simultaneously. A missed tender deadline cannot be recovered. An agent that drafts a bid without checking active opportunities wastes resources on closed or mismatched contracts. Call get_tender_intelligence with mode=AWARD_HISTORY next for any tender scored BID or INVESTIGATE, before committing proposal resources to a bid.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | No | Max results per source (default 10, max 25) | |
| keyword | Yes | Search keyword — company capability, product type, or service (e.g. "cybersecurity", "catering", "IT support") | |
| sources | No | Which sources to search. Defaults to all three: ["uk","eu","us"] | |
| days_old | No | Only return tenders published in the last N days (default 30) | |
| min_score | No | Only return tenders scoring above this threshold (default 50). Only applies when company_profile is provided. | |
| company_profile | No | Description of the company capabilities and what contracts they are looking for. Used for AI fit scoring. More detail = better scores. If omitted, results are returned unscored. |

Scored across 2 tools
The two tools have clearly distinct purposes: search_tenders finds active tenders and provides an initial verdict, while get_tender_intelligence provides deeper competitive context on a specific tender. Their descriptions and usage guidance make disambiguation straightforward.
Both tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (search_tenders, get_tender_intelligence), using clear verbs and nouns that reflect their functionality.
With only 2 tools, the server is minimal but focused on core procurement discovery tasks. While slightly below the typical 3-15 range, the narrow scope justifies the small count.
The server covers search and intelligence gathering, which are critical early steps, but lacks tools for acting on tenders (e.g., bidding, tracking). This leaves the workflow incomplete for end-to-end procurement support.
