Use with AI agents via Apify MCP

This Actor can be used from Claude, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP-compatible AI tools through Apify's Actors MCP server.

Important: this Actor is not a standalone remote MCP server. You connect Apify's Actors MCP server once, then ask your assistant to use the TED actor.

MCP setup

Add this MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "your_apify_api_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Copy-paste prompt for AI tools

If your assistant can configure MCP for you, paste this:

Please set up Apify's Actors MCP server in my MCP configuration.

Use this package:
- command: npx
- args: -y @apify/actors-mcp-server

Set my APIFY_TOKEN in the MCP environment.

After setup, use the Apify actor "ted-procurement-radar" and help me search TED tenders from chat.

Example prompts after setup

• Use the ted-procurement-radar actor to find open German tenders for cybersecurity with at least EUR 100,000 estimated value.
• Search TED for solar energy notices in Spain and summarize the best opportunities.
• Look up notice 391742-2026 and explain whether it is still open for bidding.
• Run the actor for CPV code 45 and return the most urgent opportunities with deadlines in the next 14 days.

Client notes

• Claude, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed can usually use the stdio MCP config above directly.
• n8n, LangChain, OpenAI Agents SDK, Gemini, and custom apps can use the same Apify actor capability, but the exact MCP plumbing depends on the client environment.

Tips

• Use specific technical keywords instead of broad generic terms.
• Use local-language keywords for country-specific notice discovery.
• Schedule daily runs with onlyLatestVersions: true for monitoring workflows.
• Filter downstream to canBid: true if you only want active opportunities.
• Use direct notice IDs in searchPhrase for exact lookup.

Understanding the lead score

The lead score helps prioritize open notices. Higher scores usually indicate a combination of disclosed value, active deadline, useful bidding window, and strong commercial relevance.

Automate Tender Monitoring

For ongoing monitoring, combine Apify scheduling with a notification channel:

Apify Schedule + Webhook to Slack

1. Open the Actor on Apify and click Schedule
2. Set a daily or weekly trigger
3. Under Webhooks, add a Slack incoming webhook URL
4. The Actor posts new tenders directly to your Slack channel

Apify + n8n Pipeline

1. Use the Apify n8n node to trigger the Actor on schedule
2. Filter results in n8n where canBid: true and deadlineDaysRemaining < 30
3. Create HubSpot deals or send email alerts for matching notices

Direct API Integration Run the Actor via the Apify API and pull results into your CRM or BI tool:

POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_ACTOR_ID/runs
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

FAQ

Is this an official EU tool? No. This is an independent Actor built on the public TED Search API.

Is it legal to use? TED publishes procurement notices as public information. You remain responsible for compliant use under applicable rules and Apify terms.

Why not use the TED API directly? You can, but this Actor already handles pagination, normalization, label mapping, and export.

Does it work for all EU countries? Yes, TED covers all EU member states and additional participating jurisdictions.

What is a CPV code and how do I find the right one? CPV codes are standardised EU product/service classification codes. Use the table above as a starting point. For precise targeting, search the official CPV database at simap.ted.europa.eu.

How do I get notified when new tenders appear? Schedule the Actor to run daily with onlyLatestVersions: true. Use Apify Webhooks or the n8n integration to push new results to Slack, email, or your CRM automatically.

Can I monitor multiple countries at once? Run the Actor without a searchCountry filter to get results across all EU member states. Then filter downstream by the country field in the output.

Do you support custom procurement workflows? Yes. Contact us through the Apify platform for custom monitoring or integration work.
