About Israel Tenders

Israel Tenders is an MCP server for searching Israeli government tenders and exemption contracts. It serves analysts and researchers with records from the official Government Procurement Administration dataset, without requiring credentials.

Key features

  1. 01Search competitive tenders
  2. 02Search exemption contracts
  3. 03Filter by free-text query
  4. 04Return supplier, status, dates, and amounts
  5. 05Run locally over stdio or through Pipeworx

Use cases

  1. 01Find recent tenders by ministry or topic
  2. 02Review non-competitive contract details
  3. 03Check a tender’s status and closing date

MCP support

Exposes tender and exemption searches as MCP tools. It can connect through the Pipeworx gateway or run as a local stdio MCP server.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details

From the project README

mcp-israel-tenders

Israel Government Procurement MCP — public tenders & exemption contracts (keyless).

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1882+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
israel_search_tendersSearch Israeli government competitive tenders (מכרזים) from the official Government Procurement Administration dataset on data.gov.il. Returns each tender's publication number, name, publishing ministry and unit, procedure type, status, publication/closing dates, winning supplier, and subject area. Pass a free-text query (Hebrew or matching text) to filter, e.g. "בריאות" (health) or a ministry name; omit to browse the most recent records.
israel_search_exemptionsSearch Israeli government exemption contracts and non-competitive procurement (התקשרויות בפטור והליכים תחרותיים) from the official Government Procurement Administration dataset on data.gov.il. Returns each contract's publication number, name, publishing ministry and unit, exemption regulation (תקנה), status, decision essence, approver, dates, supplier, monetary amount, currency, and subject. Pass a free-text query (Hebrew or matching text) to filter; omit to browse the most recent records.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "israel-tenders": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/israel-tenders/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/israel-tenders/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1882+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/israel_search_tenders \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query":"בריאות","limit":20}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/israel_search_tenders. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "israel-tenders": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-israel-tenders"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-israel-tenders

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Israel Tenders data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
