# Finnish Public Tenders (HILMA) — MCP (`nectia/finnish-public-tenders-mcp`) Actor MCP server for Finnish public procurement (HILMA): search tenders, awards and procurement plans by keyword, CPV, region and buyer, and fetch full notice details. - **URL**: https://apify.com/nectia/finnish-public-tenders-mcp.md - **Developed by:** [Anton Aouat](https://apify.com/nectia) (community) - **Categories:** MCP servers, Integrations - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $1.00 / 1,000 tender searches This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Finnish Public Tenders (HILMA) — MCP Server Search and monitor **Finnish public procurement** from your AI agent, straight from **HILMA** (hankintailmoitukset.fi) open data. Find relevant tenders and awards, get full notice details, and track upcoming procurement plans — by CPV code, region, buyer, and keyword. Built for suppliers bidding on public contracts, and the agencies/tools serving them. ### Tools | Tool | What it does | |------|--------------| | `search_tenders` | Search procurement notices (contract / prior-information / award) by keyword, CPV code, region (NUTS), buyer, notice type, date, EU-vs-national, open-only. Returns buyer, CPV, value, deadline, status. | | `get_tender` | Full details for one notice (`id` from search, or numeric `noticeId`): buyer + contacts, description, CPV, procedure, value, deadline, lots, winner (for awards), document + TED links. | | `search_procurement_plans` | Upcoming procurement **plans** — non-binding early signals of forthcoming procurements, before the tender is published. | Titles/descriptions in `en`, `fi`, or `sv` (most Finnish tenders are Finnish-only; falls back to Finnish). #### Example ```jsonc // search_tenders — open IT tenders in the Helsinki region { "query": "IT", "region": "FI1B", "onlyOpen": true, "top": 10 } ```` ### Configuration Requires a HILMA **AVP-Read subscription key** (free; register at the [developer portal](https://hns-hilma-prod-apim.developer.azure-api.net) → Products → avp-read → Subscribe). Provide it as the `HILMA_API_KEY` environment variable: - **Local:** put `HILMA_API_KEY=...` in your `.env` (gitignored) or the shell environment. - **Hosted (Apify):** set `HILMA_API_KEY` as a **secret** Environment variable on the Actor. The key is a **server secret** — buyers of the hosted endpoint never see it; they pay per call. ### Use it #### Hosted (Apify) — recommended Connect your MCP client to the Actor's Standby URL at the `/mcp` path; billing is per successful tool call (Pay-Per-Event). #### Local (stdio) ```bash npm install && npm run build HILMA_API_KEY=... node dist/server.js # register in your MCP client ``` ### Develop ```bash npm test # unit tests (recorded fixtures) npm run typecheck HILMA_API_KEY=... npm run smoke # live end-to-end check ``` **Architecture** (small units): `src/hilma/client.ts` (HTTP + key auth + throttle/cache), `src/hilma/query.ts` (safe Azure-Search query building), `src/hilma/normalize.ts` (raw → clean tender shape), `src/tools.ts` (MCP tools), `src/server.ts` / `src/standby.ts` (stdio / Apify HTTP transports). ### Data source & attribution Data from **HILMA** (hankintailmoitukset.fi), operated by Hansel Oy, via the AVP-Read open API, licensed CC BY 4.0.
