## MCP tools (5)

### `india_defence_tenders` (~451 tokens)

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for open India defence tenders — "open Indian Army tenders", "Indian Navy procurement", "IAF tenders closing this month", "DRDO tenders", "MES works tenders in Jaisalmer", "Ministry of Defence RFPs". Lists ACTIVE Government of India defence procurement tenders from the official Ministry of Defence e-Procurement portal (defproc.gov.in: Army, Navy, Air Force, DRDO, Military Engineer Services, Border Roads Organisation, Defence Estates, Coast Guard, Integrated Defence Staff), plus defence PSUs on the central PSU portal (AWEIL, Armoured Vehicles Nigam, Munitions India, Yantra India, India Optel, Troop Comforts, shipyards) and DRDO / Defence Estates on the CPPP central portal. Optional keyword and organisation filters. Each tender has tender ID, reference number, title, organisation chain, published / bid-closing / bid-opening dates (IST), and the source portal. Also reports which organisations were scanned and their live active-tender counts.

Input parameters:

- `closing_after` (string): Optional YYYY-MM-DD: only tenders whose bid submission closes on or after this date.
- `include_large_orgs` (boolean): Also scan Military Engineer Services (~4,000 active works tenders on one slow page, 30-60 s). Default false; naming it in organisation also includes it.
- `include_psus` (boolean): Also scan defence PSUs and MoD bodies on the central portals (default true).
- `limit` (number|string): Max tenders to return (default 25, max 100). Newest published first.
- `organisation` (string): Optional organisation substring, e.g. "Air Force", "Navy", "Army", "Research and Development" (DRDO), "Military Engineer" (MES), "Border Roads", "Munitions". Omit to scan every defence organisation.
- `query` (string): Optional keywords (all must match, case-insensitive) against title, reference number, tender ID and organisation chain, e.g. "generator", "radar", "jaisalmer".

### `india_search_tenders` (~632 tokens)

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for open Government of India tenders and public procurement — "India government tenders for solar", "CPPP tenders from NHAI", "Maharashtra e-tenders for road works", "Kerala government tenders", "Coal India tenders". Searches ACTIVE tenders on one official Indian GePNIC e-procurement portal: the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP central government), central PSUs (etenders.gov.in), Ministry of Defence, or a state / sector portal. Optional keyword and organisation filters; without an organisation it scans the organisations with the most active tenders, up to max_orgs, and reports which were scanned. Each tender has tender ID, reference number, title, organisation chain, published / bid-closing / bid-opening dates (IST), and the source portal. Use india_tender_organisations first to see a portal's buyers and counts.

Input parameters:

- `closing_after` (string): Optional YYYY-MM-DD: only tenders closing on or after this date.
- `include_large_orgs` (boolean): Also scan organisations with 1,000+ active tenders (one slow multi-megabyte page each). Default false unless organisation is given.
- `limit` (number|string): Max tenders to return (default 25, max 100). Newest published first.
- `max_orgs` (number|string): Max organisation pages to fetch when organisation is omitted or broad (default 15, max 40). Organisations are taken in order of active-tender count.
- `organisation` (string): Optional organisation substring, e.g. "National Highways", "Railways", "AIIMS", "Airports Authority". Strongly recommended on large portals.
- `portal` (string): Which portal to search (default "central"). "defence" = Ministry of Defence e-Procurement (defproc.gov.in); "central" = Central Public Procurement Portal — central government (eprocure.gov.in/eprocur…
- `query` (string): Optional keywords (all must match) against title, reference number, tender ID and organisation chain.

### `india_tender_organisations` (~354 tokens)

Lists the buying organisations on an official Indian government e-procurement portal (CPPP central, central PSUs, Ministry of Defence, or a state portal) with each one's live count of ACTIVE tenders — "which Indian ministries have open tenders", "how many active tenders does the Indian Army have", "biggest buyers on Maharashtra e-tenders". Use it to pick an organisation for india_search_tenders.

Input parameters:

- `portal` (string): Which portal (default "central"). "defence" = Ministry of Defence e-Procurement (defproc.gov.in); "central" = Central Public Procurement Portal — central government (eprocure.gov.in/eprocure); "cpse"…
- `query` (string): Optional organisation-name substring filter.

### `india_get_tender` (~432 tokens)

Full details of one Indian government tender by its portal tender ID (e.g. "2026_IAF_792147_1") from the official GePNIC e-procurement portal that published it — tender type and category, form of contract, EMD amount, tender fee, tender value, product category, work description, location and pincode, pre-bid meeting, all key dates (IST), and the organisation chain. Take the tender_id and portal from india_defence_tenders or india_search_tenders; passing the organisation makes the lookup much faster.

Input parameters:

- `organisation` (string): Optional organisation substring to narrow the lookup, e.g. "Air Force".
- `portal` (string): Portal the tender is on (default "defence"). "defence" = Ministry of Defence e-Procurement (defproc.gov.in); "central" = Central Public Procurement Portal — central government (eprocure.gov.in/eprocu…
- `tender_id` (string, required): Portal tender ID, e.g. "2026_IAF_792147_1" (the last bracketed value in a listing).

### `india_cppp_latest_tenders` (~256 tokens)

Latest ACTIVE tenders as listed on India's Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP, eprocure.gov.in/cppp) — either the all-portal tender feed ("cppp": central and state e-procurement systems, newest published first) or the Government e-Marketplace bid feed CPPP lists ("gem": GeM bid number, items, buying organisation and ministry, closing date; ordered soonest-closing first). "Latest Indian government tenders", "new GeM bids", "GeM bids from Ministry of Defence". Returns one or more 10-row pages with an optional keyword filter over those pages; CPPP's own keyword search is captcha-gated, so for buyer-specific searches use india_search_tenders.

Input parameters:

- `feed` (string): "cppp" = all-portal tender feed (default); "gem" = Government e-Marketplace bids.
- `page` (number|string): First page to fetch (1-based, default 1). 10 rows per page.
- `pages` (number|string): How many consecutive pages to fetch (default 1, max 5).
- `query` (string): Optional keywords (all must match) applied to the fetched rows.
