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

• Node.js 18 or newer.

• An Apify API token from console.apify.com/account/integrations, set as APIFY_TOKEN. The server lists its tool without a token; a call needs one.

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.

Pricing

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

The no results row and notices skipped by only_new are free.

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.
