Connect TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) to Claude
Query TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) directly from Claude. Arlet links the two through one MCP connection and takes care of API keys.
Connects your AI client to the TED v3 search API.
Tool:
- search_eu_tenders: search notices EU-wide. A plain query such as 'railway signalling' is wrapped as a full-text search; an expert query such as 'FT="software" AND PD>=20260101' is sent as written.
Implementation note: the TED v3 API rejects GET (405) and requires a POST body with a non-empty field list, so the request shape is handled by this server. Titles arrive as language maps and are collapsed to English where available.
This is a discovery tool: it returns notice metadata and links, not full tender documents. Follow the link for the complete notice and its annexes.
