Common questions

Is Tenderapi MCP 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?

You need to fill in: TENDERAPI_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.9.0) reached the registry 24 days 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?

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/ (includes one weekly email watch), 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.

Tools exposed

Tool	Tier	Hosted (keyless)	Description
`search_tenders`	Free	✅	Search BOAMP + TED tenders with typed filters (CPV, region, budget, deadline, source, etc.)
`get_tender`	Free	✅	Fetch a single tender by id
`search_awards`	Pro	—	Search award notices (who won which contract, for how much)
`get_award`	Pro	—	Fetch a single award by id
`winner_intel`	Pro	—	Aggregated winner stats: top companies by CPV / region / year
`me`	any	—	Current key tier, quota remaining, available features
`list_profiles`, `get_profile`, `create_profile`, `update_profile`, `delete_profile`	Free (1, weekly email) / Pro	—	Manage alert profiles for new-tender matches: weekly email on a free key; daily email digest, Teams card or webhook on Pro
`upgrade_tier`, `billing_portal`	any	—	Stripe checkout and billing-management links

PINs (prior-information notices) are excluded from search_tenders by default; pass include_planning=true to include them. A deadline_after/deadline_before filter drops notices with no submission deadline unless include_null_deadline=true.

Tiers

Hosted, keyless: 30 tool calls/day per IP, tenders only
Free key: tenders, 1 alert profile (email digest every Monday, to the account address)
Pro (15 €/month): adds awards and winner intelligence, up to 10 alert profiles delivered every morning (email digest, Teams or webhook)

Request limits only protect the service (free: 1 000/day and 30/min; Pro: 1 500/day and 120/min); paginated lists stop at row 1 000.

Prices are final — no VAT is charged (art. 293 B French tax code). See https://tenderapi.fr/#pricing.

Local development

Override the API base URL via TENDERAPI_BASE_URL (default https://tenderapi.fr).

Requirements

Pinned to the mcp 1.x line: version 2.0.0 removed mcp.server.fastmcp, which this server is built on. Migration to the 2.x API is tracked separately.
