The tenderapi-mcp server provides tools for AI agents to access and analyze public procurement data from French (BOAMP) and European (TED) sources.
search_tenders: Search public procurement notices with filters including CPV code, region, budget range, deadline, source (BOAMP/TED), status, buyer SIRET, and country.
get_tender: Retrieve details of a specific tender by ID.
search_awards: Find award notices (who won which contracts and for how much), filterable by CPV, region, winner name/SIRET, award date, and amount. (Requires Starter tier)
get_award: Retrieve details of a specific award by ID. (Requires Starter tier)
winner_intel: Aggregated statistics on top-winning companies by contract count and total amount, filtered by CPV, region, and year — useful for competitive intelligence. (Requires Pro tier)
me: Check the current API key's tier, remaining quota, and available features.
Webhook profiles (list_profiles, get_profile, create_profile, update_profile, delete_profile): Manage alert profiles for new tender matches. (Requires Starter tier)
upgrade_tier / billing_portal: Access Stripe checkout and billing management links.
Data coverage: BOAMP since March 2015; TED for FR/DE/IT/ES/UK since 2015, refreshed daily. Tiered access: Free (100 req/day, tenders only), Starter (1,000 req/day, adds awards & webhooks), Pro (3,000 req/day, adds winner intel).
