Romania Tenders

@pipeworx/romania-tenders

Romanian public procurement: recent contract notices and direct acquisitions from SEAP / SICAP, the national electronic procurement system.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1863+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

• ro_tender_notices(query?, days?, date_from?, date_to?, limit?, page?) -- contract notices (CN, SCN, RFQ, PC), newest first, title keyword and publish-date window.
• ro_direct_acquisitions(query?, hours?, date_from?, date_to?, limit?) -- small-value direct acquisitions (about 1,600 a day), newest first, name keyword.

Auth

Keyless.

Data sources

• Agentia pentru Agenda Digitala a Romaniei (AADR), SEAP / SICAP public notice lists: contract notices and direct acquisitions.

Notes for the next person

An earlier attempt got the same 2019 rows for any query. Cause (captured with a headless browser, 2026-10-29): the lists can sort OLDEST-first and the portal always sends a publication-date window; without date fields the server returns the head of the archive. The date window is therefore mandatory in this pack.

• Notices: sorted newest-first inside the window; reported total is capped at 3000.
• Direct acquisitions: newest-first while the window holds fewer than 2000; a window at that cap comes back OLDEST-first with only its oldest 2000, so the pack narrows it from the old edge until it fits and reports effective_window and a note. The source labels these times +02:00 although they are UTC; published is returned as a UTC instant and the source's text is kept as published_as_listed.
• Requests need Referer, Origin and Culture: ro-RO headers; no token or cookie. An honest pack User-Agent is accepted from the gateway's edge.
• Title keyword filters match Romanian text; diacritics optional.

Quick Start

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

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

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/romania-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 1863+ 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/ro_tender_notices \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query":"echipamente","days":14,"limit":5}'

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

Run it from npm

@pipeworx/mcp-romania-tenders is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same https://gateway.pipeworx.io/romania-tenders/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access; there is no offline mode.

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

Without a key it calls anonymously, capped at 50 calls a day. A free account raises that to 200 a day: get a key at https://pipeworx.io/signup and add "env": { "PIPEWORX_API_KEY": "<your key>" } to the server entry. The key is sent as a Bearer token, the same way a hosted connection sends it, so calls are metered and billed exactly as they are there.

It lists only this pack's tools by default. Set PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 to also list ask_pipeworx and the other gateway-wide tools.

Behind an HTTPS proxy: Node's built-in fetch does not read HTTPS_PROXY by default. Newer Node releases honour it when NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 is set; check your Node version's documentation.

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 Romania Tenders data" })

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