Common questions

Is vergabe-api: German public procurement notices safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

vergabe-api

German public procurement notices, above and below the EU thresholds, as a normalised JSON API for software agents and procurement tools. Paid per call with x402 (HTTP 402, USDC). No account, no API key, no subscription.

Base URL: https://vergabe-api.applehorsefrog.workers.dev (a branded domain under viono-insights.de will follow). Payments settle on Base mainnet in USDC since 2026-09-14; the facilitator is PayAI.

What you get

Every day roughly 1,000 notices are published on the official German notification service (Datenservice Öffentlicher Einkauf, eForms-DE). The raw feed is a ZIP of XML files, 20 MB per day, with organisation contacts, lots, deadlines and classifications scattered over UBL extensions. This API turns each notice into one flat record:

fieldmeaning
id, notice_id, versionnotice UUID and version
published, issue_datepublication day of the export, issue date from the notice
kindcompetition (calls for tenders), result (awards), planning, change
notice_type, subtype, procedure, legal_basis, natureeForms codes (cn-standard, open, vgv, works ...)

documents_url, submission_urlwhere the tender documents live
lotsarray of lots with title, CPV, NUTS, value, deadline, period
winners, total_awardedfor award notices, organisation names only
source_urlthe original notice at oeffentlichevergabe.de

Coverage on a sample day (2026-09-10): 1,067 notices, 589 calls for tenders, 569 of them with a submission deadline, 1,036 with CPV, 985 with NUTS.

Paying with x402

A request without payment returns 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header describing the amount (USDC), network and receiving address. Any x402 client handles this automatically, for example @x402/fetch:

import { wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig } from "@x402/fetch";

import { ExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm"; import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const account = privateKeyToAccount(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY as 0x${string}); // holds USDC on Base const fetchWithPay = wrapFetchWithPaymentFromConfig(fetch, { schemes: [{ network: "eip155:8453", client: new ExactEvmScheme(account) }], }); const r = await fetchWithPay("https://vergabe-api.applehorsefrog.workers.dev/v1/notices?cpv=72"); console.log(await r.json());

Prices are in USD and settled in USDC on Base (eip155:8453); there are no other fees on our side. The same code runs against Base Sepolia by setting X402_NETWORK=eip155:84532 and X402_FACILITATOR=https://x402.org/facilitator in wrangler.jsonc.

MCP server

Two ways to use the data from an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, any MCP host):

Remote, free tools only (no install): Streamable HTTP endpoint https://vergabe-api.applehorsefrog.workers.dev/mcp with sample_tenders, tender_stats, describe_api. The paid tools are listed there too but only return the payment requirements, because the remote server has no wallet.

Local, with paid tools (stdio, Node 20+): the client pays per call from a wallet you control.

{

"mcpServers": { "vergabe": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:applehorsefrog/vergabe-api"], "env": { "VERGABE_PAYER_KEY": "0x " } } } }

Tools: search_tenders ($0.01 per call, all filters of /v1/notices), get_tender ($0.002), sample_tenders, tender_stats, describe_api (free). Without VERGABE_PAYER_KEY the paid tools return the x402 payment requirements and the HTTP URL instead of data. Use a dedicated low-balance wallet for the key; the server never sends it anywhere, it only signs USDC transfer authorisations (EIP-3009) for the exact price of each call. Source: mcp/server.mjs.

Data source, licence, privacy

Data: Datenservice Öffentlicher Einkauf, https://oeffentlichevergabe.de, published under CC0 1.0. Every response carries X-Data-Source and X-Data-License headers. Code in this repository: MIT.

Contact persons, e-mail addresses, phone and fax numbers are removed during import (etl/etl.py), both from structured fields and from free text. Only organisation-level data is served. If you find personal data that slipped through, open an issue and it will be removed.

This is a technical data service, not legal advice. Deadlines and conditions must be verified at the source before bidding.

How it runs

  • src/index.ts: Cloudflare Worker (Hono) with @x402/hono payment middleware, a D1 (SQLite) database and the remote MCP endpoint.
  • mcp/server.mjs: local MCP server (stdio) that pays for the paid endpoints with @x402/fetch.
  • etl/etl.py: downloads the daily eForms ZIP, parses it with lxml, scrubs personal data, writes INSERT statements.
  • .github/workflows/daily-etl.yml: runs the ETL twice a day (06:30 and 14:00 UTC), re-imports the last three days and loads the rows with wrangler d1 execute.

Local development:

npm install

npx wrangler d1 execute vergabe --local --file=schema.sql python etl/etl.py --day 2026-09-10 --out etl/out/d.sql && for f in etl/out/d*.sql; do npx wrangler d1 execute vergabe --local --file=$f; done npx wrangler dev
