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.

Free tier: 10 searches/month. No API key required. Just connect and go.

Quick Start

{
  "tender": {
    "url": "https://tender-mcp-production.up.railway.app"
  }
}

Harness Integration

Claude Code / Claude Desktop (.mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tender": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tender-mcp-production.up.railway.app"
    }
  }

LangChain (Python)

from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
client = MultiServerMCPClient({
    "tender": {
        "url": "https://tender-mcp-production.up.railway.app",
        "transport": "http"
    }
})
tools = await client.get_tools()

OpenAI Agents SDK (Python)

from agents import Agent, HostedMCPTool
agent = Agent(
    name="Assistant",
    tools=[HostedMCPTool(tool_config={
        "type": "mcp",
        "server_label": "tender",
        "server_url": "https://tender-mcp-production.up.railway.app",
        "require_approval": "never"
    })]
)

LangGraph

Same as LangChain above — langchain-mcp-adapters works with LangGraph natively.

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.

Tools

search_tenders

Search active government tenders across UK Contracts Finder, EU TED, and US SAM.gov simultaneously. Returns normalised results with source_url and checked_at.

{ "keyword": "cybersecurity", "sources": ["uk", "eu"], "days_old": 14 }

get_tender_detail

Full details for a specific tender — complete description, all deadlines, contact details, award criteria.

{ "tender_id": "ocds-h6vhtk-...", "source": "uk" }

score_tender_fit (AI-powered — NOT a keyword match)

AI scores each tender 0-100 against a company capability profile. Returns BID/INVESTIGATE/SKIP recommendation with specific reasons. Saves hours of manual review.

{
  "tenders": [...],
  "company_profile": "We are a 50-person UK cybersecurity firm specialising in penetration testing and SOC services for public sector clients. We hold SC clearance.",
  "min_score": 60
}

get_daily_digest (Paid only)

All new tenders published in the last 24 hours matching your keywords. Run daily as a morning briefing.

{ "keywords": ["cybersecurity", "managed SOC", "penetration testing"] }

get_award_history (Paid only)

Past award winners for a keyword. Use for competitive intelligence before bidding.

{ "keyword": "cybersecurity", "sources": ["uk"] }
