## Pricing

from $10.00 / 1,000 tender results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Hungarian Public Construction Tenders (EKR) Scraper & MCP Tool

A high-performance, token-optimized Apify Actor and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server tool designed to extract structured public construction tenders, RFP notices, CPV classifications, estimated budget values, and submission deadlines from official Hungarian public procurement portals ([kozbeszerzes.hu](https://kozbeszerzes.hu/adatbazis/kereses/hirdetmeny/)).

Engineered specifically for **Autonomous AI Agents (RFP Analysis, Bid Preparation, Subcontractor Sourcing, and Market Intelligence)**, enterprise procurement pipelines, and direct integration into Claude Desktop, Cursor, LangChain, Make, and n8n.

***

### ⚡ Key Highlights & Architecture

- **AI & Agent Native (MCP Tool):** Outputs flattened, strictly typed JSON records engineered to prevent token bloat and context window pollution during multi-step LLM ReAct loops.
- **Ultra-Lightweight & Fast:** Runs on `CheerioCrawler` configured with a 128 MB memory limit, executing direct HTTP requests and parsing server-side HTML without headless browser overhead.
- **Pay-per-Event (PPE) Pricing:** Transparent pay-as-you-go billing—pay strictly for verified tender notices extracted ($0.010 per record) plus a synthetic start fee ($0.00005).
- **Graceful Budget Cap Abort:** Continuously tracks `eventChargeLimitReached` and invokes `crawler.autoscaledPool.abort()` to terminate immediately without dropping previously saved data.
- **Construction-Specific Filtering:** Optimized for CPV code family `45000000-7` (Construction work) and related architectural and engineering procurement categories.

***

### 📥 Input Configuration (Input Schema)

The input schema is optimized for automated agent invocation and precision filtering:

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `searchQuery` | `String` | `"óvoda felújítás"` | Keyword or phrase matching the procurement title, description, or buyer name. |
| `maxItems` | `Integer` | `5` | Maximum number of tender records to extract and charge (range: 1 to 2000). Default is 5 for fast daily automated platform tests. |
| `onlyActive` | `Boolean` | `true` | When enabled, filters exclusively for tenders with open submission deadlines. |
| `startUrls` | `Array` | `[]` | Optional direct list of pre-filtered search query URLs from the procurement portal. |

#### Input JSON Examples

**Keyword search for active school/kindergarten renovations:**

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "óvoda felújítás",
  "maxItems": 10,
  "onlyActive": true
}
```

**Broad infrastructure tender search:**

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "útépítés",
  "maxItems": 25,
  "onlyActive": true
}
```

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQuery": "óvoda felújítás",
  "maxItems": 5

apify call hyperion-intelligence/hungarian-procurement-tenders-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {

    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
