Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 2 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 628 tokens (~314/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities20
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the Tender MCP server?
Tender MCP is a hosted endpoint at https://tender-mcp-production.up.railway.app/, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 90 to 93. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 27 days of observed history at the previous scan, 28 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_tender_intelligence ~265
Retrieves tender intelligence including award history and daily digest. Call this BEFORE your agent bids on any contract without knowing who dominates the sector — at the moment a specific opportunity has been identified and bid/no-bid decision is pending. Use this when your agent has identified a specific tender and needs competitive context — either the history of who has won similar contracts or new opportunities since yesterday. AWARD_HISTORY: past contract winners for a keyword. DAILY_DIGEST: all new tenders last 24h for monitored keywords. Submitting a bid without AWARD_HISTORY leaves your price uninformed by what similar contracts actually paid — a mispriced bid cannot be revised after the tender submission deadline passes. Do not bid without running AWARD_HISTORY first.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | string | – | Keyword for award history search. Required for AWARD_HISTORY. |
| keywords | array | – | Keywords to monitor or search (e.g. ["cybersecurity", "cloud infrastructure"]). Required for DAILY_DIGEST. |
| limit | number | – | Max results per source for AWARD_HISTORY (default 10) |
| mode | string | yes | DAILY_DIGEST: new tenders in last 24hrs. AWARD_HISTORY: past contract winners. |
| sources | array | – | Sources to search. Defaults to all three. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _disclaimer | string | – | – |
| checked_at | string | – | – |
| message | string | – | – |
| mode | string | yes | – |
| status | string | – | Present on the free-tier preview path |
| upgrade_url | string | – | – |
No examples provided.
search_tenders ~363
Searches active government tenders across UK, EU, and US. Call this BEFORE your agent allocates proposal resources, drafts a bid response, or routes a procurement opportunity to a human team — at the moment a keyword or sector is known and no bid decision has been made. Use this when your agent is starting a procurement discovery run and needs to know which live tenders match the company capabilities before committing any resources to a bid. Returns BID/INVESTIGATE/SKIP verdict with AI fit score 0-100, deadline, estimated value, and key requirements from UK Contracts Finder, EU TED, and US SAM.gov simultaneously. A missed tender deadline cannot be recovered. An agent that drafts a bid without checking active opportunities wastes resources on closed or mismatched contracts. Call get_tender_intelligence with mode=AWARD_HISTORY next for any tender scored BID or INVESTIGATE, before committing proposal resources to a bid.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| company_profile | string | – | Description of the company capabilities and what contracts they are looking for. Used for AI fit scoring. More detail = better scores. If omitted, results are returned unscored. |
| days_old | number | – | Only return tenders published in the last N days (default 30) |
| keyword | string | yes | Search keyword — company capability, product type, or service (e.g. "cybersecurity", "catering", "IT support") |
| limit | number | – | Max results per source (default 10, max 25) |
| min_score | number | – | Only return tenders scoring above this threshold (default 50). Only applies when company_profile is provided. |
| sources | array | – | Which sources to search. Defaults to all three: ["uk","eu","us"] |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _disclaimer | string | yes | – |

What is the Tender MCP server?
Tender MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.OjasKord/tender-mcp. Government tender search for AI agents. UK, EU and US procurement opportunities. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://tender-mcp-production.up.railway.app).
Is the Tender MCP server safe to use?
Tender MCP scores 73 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Tender MCP server expose?
Tender MCP exposes 2 tools: search_tenders, get_tender_intelligence. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 628 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Does the Tender MCP server require authentication?
No. We connected to Tender MCP without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.
Is the Tender MCP server still maintained?
Tender MCP is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
