Example Queries

Once installed, ask your AI assistant:

• "Show me construction tenders in Ontario"
• "Find IT contracts in California over $500K"
• "What government contracts match my cybersecurity consulting business?"
• "How many active tenders are there right now?"
• "Get the latest government procurement opportunities"

How It Works

The get_tender_stats tool is free and returns live statistics from the API. The search, feed, and match tools hit x402 payment-gated endpoints. Without a wallet configured, they return pricing info and direct URLs. The free stats tool alone provides valuable metadata about 11,000+ active opportunities.

Payment

Paid endpoints use x402 micropayments in USDC on Base (eip155:8453). When a paid tool is called without payment credentials, it returns the price and a direct URL to the API endpoint.
