# Ausschreibungsagenten MCP Server

Public procurement notices (tenders) from 17 connected sources across Germany,
the EU and the United Kingdom — as MCP tools.

- **Endpoint:** `https://api.ausschreibungsagenten.de/mcp`
- **Transport:** Streamable HTTP
- **MCP registry:** `de.ausschreibungsagenten/tender-search`
- **Smithery:** [@agentifizierung/ausschreibungsagenten](https://smithery.ai/servers/@agentifizierung/ausschreibungsagenten)

Read-only. Every hit links to the authoritative original notice; this service
never submits a bid and gives no legal advice.

This repository is documentation and discovery metadata. The server itself is
operated by Yawusa UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Berlin.

## Connect

Claude Code:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http ausschreibungsagenten https://api.ausschreibungsagenten.de/mcp
```

Any client that reads an `mcpServers` block:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ausschreibungsagenten": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.ausschreibungsagenten.de/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

No credentials are needed to start. `search_tenders` is open to anonymous
callers at 60 requests per hour.

## Tools

| Tool | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `agentleads.search_tenders` | Search open notices by keyword, ISO-3 country, CPV code, relevance score, deadline window and contract value. Optional AI summary per hit. |
| `agentleads.get_tender` | One notice in full, by id. |
| `agentleads.summarize_tender` | Labelled AI short form of a notice, `de` or `en`. |
| `agentleads.source_status` | Freshness per connected procurement portal — last successful poll, counts, last error. |
| `agentleads.countries` | Indexed countries (ISO-3) with the number of open procedures. |
| `agentleads.fulltext_search` | Full text across indexed notices. Requires a plan that permits it. |

CPV filtering accepts full 8-digit codes for exact matches and shorter numeric
prefixes for whole divisions — `45` matches all of construction.

## Authentication

Anonymous access covers the public preview. Higher limits and `fulltext_search`
use an API key as an HTTP Bearer token:

```
Authorization: Bearer sk_...
```

No other header is evaluated — a request sent with `X-API-Key` counts as
unauthenticated and runs in the anonymous limit. Free keys:

## Sources

TED, service.bund.de, Datenservice Öffentlicher Einkauf, DTVP, RIB, the state
and regional portals of Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Württemberg,
Vergabeportal BW, Bremen, Saxony, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Hesse,
Rhineland-Palatinate and Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar, plus GB Find a Tender and
Contracts Finder. Above and below the EU threshold.

Coverage is not claimed to be complete. `source_status` states per portal what
is actually being polled and when it last succeeded — check it before relying on
completeness.
