TenderGraph

Integrations

Every assistant. One connection.

TenderGraph is built agent-first: the same MCP server that powers our own platform plugs into Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Grok — and the REST API, OpenAPI spec and webhooks cover everything else. Two minutes from API key to your agent answering “what should we bid on this week?”

How the agent connection works

  1. 1

    Create your API key

    Generated during onboarding, managed any time under API keys. Keys are scoped, revocable, and rate-limited.

  2. 2

    Paste one endpoint

    Add the MCP endpoint to your assistant's connector settings — exact steps for each platform below.

  3. 3

    Ask real questions

    Your agent gets fifteen tools: it searches, qualifies against your profile, analyses winners, and watches your market between sessions.

AI assistants

Claude

claude.ai · Claude Desktop · Claude Code

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector

Add the endpoint and sign in once in the browser where OAuth is offered — or paste the endpoint with your key on it. Claude picks up all fifteen tools plus guided prompts for finding and qualifying tenders.

ChatGPT

Plus · Pro · Business (Developer mode)

Settings → Apps & Connectors → Developer mode → Create

Create a connector with the endpoint and OAuth where offered, or the key-in-path URL with no authentication. The search/fetch pair follows OpenAI's deep-research contract, so TenderGraph also works as a ChatGPT research source; API builders attach it as a remote MCP tool in the Responses API.

Perplexity

Pro · Max · Enterprise

Account Settings → Connectors → + Custom connector

Add the endpoint as a remote connector with API-key auth, then enable it as a source in any thread — Perplexity cites open tenders in its answers.

Grok

grok.com · xAI API

grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom

Point Grok at the endpoint and authenticate with your key. On the xAI API, pass the server as a remote MCP tool with your key as the authorization value.

Exact setup commands for each platform: connection guides.

For builders

REST API

Any language, any stack

Authorization: Bearer tg_live_…

Search, full records with extracted document text where available (open tenders first), qualification scoring, award analytics, monitors — JSON responses designed to be read by models as much as by code.

OpenAPI 3.1

Codegen & custom GPTs

GET /api/v1/openapi

The complete typed spec — generate clients, wire up a custom GPT Action, or hand it to your platform team.

Webhooks

Push, not poll

HMAC-signed POSTs to your endpoint

Attach a webhook to any monitor and new matching tenders arrive at your systems on the next delivery run after we first see them — signed, ordered, and delivered with retries and backoff.

MCP (any client)

The open agent standard

Streamable HTTP at /api/mcp

Anything that speaks Model Context Protocol connects the same way — including stdio-only clients via the mcp-remote bridge.

What your agent can do

search_tenders
filtered search over every open and historical notice
get_tender
the full record: documents, contacts, provenance
search_companies
find a supplier — yours, a competitor, an incumbent
get_company
their full award history: value, buyers, sectors, trend
qualify_tender
bid/no-bid scoring against your company profile
analyze_awards
who wins, from which buyers, at what value
create_monitor / check_monitor
“what's new since I last looked”
save_profile / list_profiles
your targeting, stored and reusable
list_sources / get_stats
coverage, licences and each source's last sync, machine-readable
search / fetch
the deep-research pair for research agents

Write actions (saving profiles, creating monitors) require the key's write scope; everything is rate-limited per key and revocable instantly.

Before you connect anything

Connecting an AI agent to tender dataWhat MCP is, and the five questions to ask any data vendor first.How award data misleadsAn agent states whatever the source returns, fluently. Check the source.What the data actually coversEvery source, its licence and when it last synced — plus what nobody can cover.Keys, scopes and sub-processorsWhere the data sits, and why a key in a URL is a compromise.
