Summary
Wraps the TenderAPI REST service to let Claude search French BOAMP and EU TED public procurement notices directly. You get four tools: search_tenders queries contracts by CPV code, region, budget, and deadline; search_awards finds who won which bids and for how much; winner_intel aggregates company statistics by sector and geography; me checks your quota and tier. The free tier gives you 100 requests a day for tender search, paid tiers unlock awards and winner intelligence with higher limits. Requires a free API key from tenderapi.fr. Useful if you're tracking government contracts, researching procurement patterns, or building compliance workflows that need structured access to French and European public tender data.

TenderAPI MCP server
Expose TenderAPI (French BOAMP + EU TED public procurement data) as MCP tools for AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Zed, etc.).
A thin wrapper over the public REST API at https://tenderapi.fr.
Coverage: BOAMP (France) since March 2015, and TED for FR/DE/IT/ES/UK since 2015 (legacy XML format until end 2023, then eForms), refreshed daily.
Two ways to use it
1. Hosted server — no install, no key
The fastest way to try it. Point any MCP client at the hosted endpoint:
https://tenderapi.fr/mcp
Claude Desktop / Claude Code:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tenderapi": {
"type": "streamable-http",
"url": "https://tenderapi.fr/mcp"
}
}
}
Exposes search_tenders and get_tender. Anonymous, free, limited to 30 tool calls per day per IP. No account, nothing to install.
Awards, winner intelligence and alert profiles are not available anonymously — they need a key, see below.
2. Local server (pip) — full toolset
Requires Python 3.10+ and a free API key.
pip install tenderapi-mcp
Get a free key at https://tenderapi.fr/ (100 requests/day), then:
{
"mcpServers": {
"tenderapi": {
"command": "tenderapi-mcp",
"env": {
"TENDERAPI_KEY": "ta_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Claude Desktop config location:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Restart the client. The tenderapi server should appear in the tool picker.
From source instead of PyPI:
git clone https://github.com/IDNSIDNS/tenderapi-mcp
cd tenderapi-mcp
pip install -e .
Any MCP client supporting stdio transport works. The tenderapi-mcp binary installed by pip is the entry point.
