atlasprzetargow/mcp-server

npm version License: MIT

The first MCP server for Polish public procurement data. Query 800 000+ Polish public tenders (BZP + TED), buyer/contractor profiles, and category statistics directly from Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Cline, or any MCP-compatible AI client.

Powered by Atlas Przetargów — the Polish public procurement search and analytics platform.

What is this?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data. This server exposes the Atlas Przetargów API to any MCP client, giving your AI assistant the ability to:

• Search Polish public tenders by keyword, CPV category, location, value, or deadline
• Get full tender details including buyer, CPV codes, estimated value, deadlines, optional AI-generated summary
• Profile any procuring entity (zamawiający) by NIP — including who wins their contracts most often
• Profile any contractor (wykonawca) by NIP — including which buyers they win from
• Analyze market statistics for any CPV category (count, median value, avg offers, avg deadline)
• Compare provinces and cities in procurement volume
• Access a glossary of 90+ Polish public procurement terms
• Use guided workflows (prompts) for tender analysis, buyer due diligence, and opportunity discovery

Quick start (Claude Desktop)

Option A — via npx (recommended, no install)

Edit your Claude Desktop config file:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-przetargow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@atlasprzetargow/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The Atlas tools will appear in the tools panel.

Option B — global install

npm install -g @atlasprzetargow/mcp

Then in claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlas-przetargow": {

    }
  }

Usage examples (in Claude Desktop)

"Find active construction tenders in Warsaw with budget 500k–5M PLN and show me the top 5"

Rate limits & fair use

Atlas Przetargów API has a per-IP rate limit (30 req/min for LLM endpoints, more for public ones). The MCP server automatically retries 429 responses with exponential backoff.

If you hit rate limits frequently (e.g. in production automations), please reach out via atlasprzetargow.pl/kontakt for higher-tier access.
