search_tenders
Searches active government tenders across UK, EU, and US. Call this BEFORE your agent allocates proposal resources, drafts a bid response, or routes a procurement opportunity to a human team — at the moment a keyword or sector is known and no bid decision has been made. Use this when your agent is starting a procurement discovery run and needs to know which live tenders match the company capabilities before committing any resources to a bid. Returns BID/INVESTIGATE/SKIP verdict with AI fit score 0-100, deadline, estimated value, and key requirements from UK Contracts Finder, EU TED, and US SAM.gov simultaneously. A missed tender deadline cannot be recovered. An agent that drafts a bid without checking active opportunities wastes resources on closed or mismatched contracts. Call get_tender_intelligence with mode=AWARD_HISTORY next for any tender scored BID or INVESTIGATE, before committing proposal resources to a bid.

Search keyword — company capability, product type, or service (e.g. "cybersecurity", "catering", "IT support")

Max results per source (default 10, max 25)

get_tender_intelligence
Retrieves tender intelligence including award history and daily digest. Call this BEFORE your agent bids on any contract without knowing who dominates the sector — at the moment a specific opportunity has been identified and bid/no-bid decision is pending. Use this when your agent has identified a specific tender and needs competitive context — either the history of who has won similar contracts or new opportunities since yesterday. AWARD_HISTORY: past contract winners for a keyword. DAILY_DIGEST: all new tenders last 24h for monitored keywords. Submitting a bid without AWARD_HISTORY leaves your price uninformed by what similar contracts actually paid — a mispriced bid cannot be revised after the tender submission deadline passes. Do not bid without running AWARD_HISTORY first.
Parameters5

DAILY_DIGEST: new tenders in last 24hrs. AWARD_HISTORY: past contract winners.

string

Keyword for award history search. Required for AWARD_HISTORY.

Sources to search. Defaults to all three.

Tender MCP — Government Opportunity Intelligence for AI Agents
Find, score, and monitor government contract opportunities across UK, EU, and US. AI-powered relevance scoring so your agent surfaces the right opportunities — not just keyword matches.
Free tier: 10 searches/month. No API key required. Just connect and go.
Same as LangChain above — langchain-mcp-adapters works with LangGraph natively.
Why Use This
Any business that sells to government needs to monitor tender opportunities.

Tender MCP does it in seconds — search UK, EU, and US simultaneously, then let AI score which opportunities actually match your capabilities.
