🏛️ India Tender Intelligence MCP

The first AI-native tender search engine for India. Stop checking 50+ government portals manually — let AI find your tenders.

What does India Tender Intelligence MCP do?

India Tender Intelligence MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client) the ability to search, analyze, and monitor government tenders across India's fragmented procurement ecosystem.

It scrapes and normalizes data from CPPP (Central Public Procurement Portal) and returns structured tender data that AI agents can reason about — including title, organization, estimated value, deadlines, and document links.

Why Apify? Built on Apify's Standby mode for 24/7 availability, with built-in proxy rotation, pay-per-event billing, and seamless cloud deployment.

Why use India Tender Intelligence MCP?

• Unified Search: Query CPPP (and soon GeM + 28 state portals + PSUs) in one call
• AI-Native: Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP client — ask questions in natural language
• Real-Time Data: Fresh tender data scraped on-demand with intelligent caching
• Structured Output: Clean JSON with normalized dates, values, and categories
• Pay-Per-Use: Only $0.05 per search, $0.03 per detail fetch — no monthly subscription required
• Smart Filtering: Filter by keyword, category, state, value range, deadline, and organization

Apify offers a free tier. Check Apify pricing for details.

Tips

• Use specific keywords (e.g., "CCTV cameras" instead of "electronics") for better results
• Filter by state to reduce noise — CPPP covers all central government tenders
• Set max_results to 5–10 for faster responses; use higher values for comprehensive searches
• Cached results return instantly — set cacheTtlMinutes based on your freshness needs

FAQ and Support

Is it legal to scrape government tender portals? Yes. Government tender data is public information published for transparency. We only scrape publicly available data and respect robots.txt and rate limits.

Which portals are currently supported? MVP supports CPPP (eprocure.gov.in). GeM, state portals, and PSU portals are being added in Phase 2.

How fresh is the data? Search results are cached for 1 hour by default. You can configure this via cacheTtlMinutes. Detail pages are cached for 2 hours.
