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.
