Why Use This
Any business that sells to government needs to monitor tender opportunities. But searching three separate government portals daily, reading hundreds of notices, and manually judging relevance takes hours. Tender MCP does it in seconds — search UK, EU, and US simultaneously, then let AI score which opportunities actually match your capabilities.
Tools
search_tenders
Search active government tenders across UK Contracts Finder, EU TED, and US SAM.gov simultaneously. Returns normalised results with source_url and checked_at.
{ "keyword": "cybersecurity", "sources": ["uk", "eu"], "days_old": 14 }
get_tender_detail
Full details for a specific tender — complete description, all deadlines, contact details, award criteria.
{ "tender_id": "ocds-h6vhtk-...", "source": "uk" }
score_tender_fit (AI-powered — NOT a keyword match)
AI scores each tender 0-100 against a company capability profile. Returns BID/INVESTIGATE/SKIP recommendation with specific reasons. Saves hours of manual review.
{
"tenders": [...],
"company_profile": "We are a 50-person UK cybersecurity firm specialising in penetration testing and SOC services for public sector clients. We hold SC clearance.",
"min_score": 60
}
get_daily_digest (Paid only)
All new tenders published in the last 24 hours matching your keywords. Run daily as a morning briefing.

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.
