Open Tender and RFP Finder MCP Server

Glama score MCP Registry npm version npm downloads license mcpservers.org

An MCP server for the Mamba Labs Open Tender and RFP Finder actor on Apify. Give it keywords, CPV codes, or buyer countries. Each run reads four official public notice portals and returns one row per open tender or RFP notice.

What's Inside

Related MCP server: EU Tender MCP

What it does

The actor reads UK Contracts Finder, UK Find a Tender, EU TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), and the CanadaBuys open tender file, all official open data with no key. It keeps the notices that match your keywords and filters and returns one flat row per notice: buyer, buyer country, publication day, response deadline, days to deadline, estimated value and currency, CPV or UNSPSC codes, contract type, procedure, the buyer contact email the notice publishes, and a link. Filtered notices are never billed, and when nothing matches one free row says why.

All of the work runs on Apify. This package is a thin client that starts the actor run, waits for it, and hands back the dataset rows.

Quick start

You need Node.js 18 or newer and an Apify account with an API token.

Add this to your Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mamba-open-tender-rfp-finder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mambalabsdev/mcp-open-tender-rfp-finder"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your-apify-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart the client. The find_open_tenders tool appears.

Prerequisites

Example prompts

  • "Find open UK and Irish public tenders for software published this week."

  • "Which German and Dutch public bodies are buying IT services worth more than 100,000 EUR right now?"

  • "List open CanadaBuys RFPs for marketing services with their deadlines."

Tool

find_open_tenders. One tool. Example arguments:

{
  "keywords": [
    "software"
  ],
  "countries": [
    "GB"
  ],
  "published_within_days": "7"
}

Inputs

Every buyer facing input of the actor, unchanged. Omitted inputs take the actor's own defaults. Numbers and booleans are sent as strings.

Input

Type

Description

keywords

array

Words or phrases to find in the notice title or description, any case. A notice matches any of them. EU TED matches over the full notice text in every language. Empty: every open notice in the window. Up to 25.

exclude_keywords

array

Drop a notice whose title or description contains any of these.

cpv_prefixes

array

Keep notices with a CPV code that starts with one of these, for example 72 or 48000000. CanadaBuys uses UNSPSC codes, so a CPV filter leaves it out.

countries

array

Two letter buyer country codes, for example GB, DE, CA. A portal that covers none of them is skipped.

portals

array

Portals to read. Default all four.

published_within_days

string

Publication window in days, 1 to 90, today included. Default 14.

only_open

string

Drop notices whose deadline has passed. Default true.

min_value

string

Drop notices valued below this number, in the notice currency. Notices with no value are kept.

max_notices

string

Notice rows per run, newest first, up to 5000. Each notice row is billed. Default 100.

only_new

string

Skip notices an earlier run with the same state_key returned. Default false.

state_key

string

Names the seen list for only_new.

max_charge_usd

string

Optional. The run stops before any row that would take its charges over this amount.

Pricing

Pay per event on Apify, billed to your Apify account. Prices in USD.

Your keys

The actor needs no key. Every portal is an official open data API or file, read directly, and the actor holds no key of any kind. Mamba Labs pays the platform and proxy costs of the run.

    Disambiguation5/5

    There is only one tool, so there is no possibility of confusing it with another. Its purpose (finding open tenders matching keywords, CPV/UNSPSC codes, and countries) is unambiguous and fully self-contained.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    The single name find_open_tenders follows a clear snake_case verb_noun convention. With only one tool there is no mixing of conventions, and the name maps directly to the described action.

    Tool Count3/5

    A one-tool surface is borderline thin for a server, even though this tool is unusually rich (multi-portal search, many output fields, filtering). A single tool leaves no seam for narrower operations like fetching a specific notice or listing portals, but it is not a trivial wrapper either.

    Completeness4/5

    For a 'finder' domain the tool covers the core discovery workflow well: multi-source search, filtering, rich result rows, no_results handling, and error reporting. Minor gaps exist, such as fetching or re-querying a specific notice by ID and explicit pagination controls, but agents can largely work around these.
