Your AI asks TendFeed directly

TendFeed runs an MCP server. Your AI assistant queries our data itself: sector lanes with thin competition, open tenders with a bid/no-bid verdict, single verdicts. Without a key, everything runs on already expired tenders. With a key, on the current, still-biddable ones.

MCP endpoint

https://tendfeed.eu/api/mcp/tendfeed

Claude Code

One command in your terminal. Claude Code then knows all three TendFeed tools.

claude mcp add --transport http tendfeed https://tendfeed.eu/api/mcp/tendfeed

Claude Desktop

Add this block to your claude_desktop_config.json file. Then restart Claude Desktop.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tendfeed": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://tendfeed.eu/api/mcp/tendfeed"]
    }
  }
}

Claude.ai and ChatGPT

Both support custom connectors. Just enter the MCP endpoint above as the server URL. Nothing else is needed: the server runs in guest mode without a login.

The three tools

find_low_competition_lanes

Ranks sector lanes (CPV × country) by competition density: median bidders, single-bidder rate, beachhead score. Basis: 592,000 real awards.

search_tenders

Open EU tenders, every row with a complete verdict: decision, score, reason, competition density, deadline, SME fit.

get_verdict

One versioned verdict object by tender id. API key required.

What works without a key

The honest boundary: without a key, everything runs on already expired tenders. Title, buyer, verdict and the full reasoning are visible. Every search also returns live_matched: the number of currently biddable hits for the same filters. But you can no longer bid on the expired ones. The current tenders come with a key.

With an API key: the live board

With a key, your AI gets the current, still-biddable tenders and the get_verdict tool. You create the key in your account ("API keys" section). It needs an active TendFeed subscription: 30-day free trial, no credit card, then 99 € net per month, cancel monthly. The key travels as an HTTP header:

The TendFeed skill for Claude

The skill teaches your Claude to search like a procurement pro: the thin-competition market first, then the single tender. If you use Claude Code, this one command installs it:

Install the skill (Claude Code)

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/tendfeed-bid-radar && curl -fsS https://tendfeed.eu/skill.md -o ~/.claude/skills/tendfeed-bid-radar/SKILL.md

Without Claude Code you do not need the skill: the MCP server guides your AI itself. View the skill
