Tools

ToolDescription
za_search_tendersSearch South African government tenders (procurement notices) from the National Treasury eTenders OCDS API. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for questions about SA government tenders / bids / RFQs — "government cleaning tenders in KwaZulu-Natal", "recent SASSA tenders", "Treasury procurement opportunities". Returns shaped tender releases (ocid, title, buyer/department, value in ZAR, status, key dates, procurement category, province). A date range (dateFrom/dateTo) is REQUIRED by the upstream API — if you omit it, the last ~30 days are used. Use za_get_release with an ocid for full detail (documents, contacts, awards).
za_get_releaseGet the full OCDS release for a single South African government tender by its ocid, from the National Treasury eTenders OCDS API. Returns the shaped tender plus supporting detail: description, tender period, documents (bid pack PDFs), procuring entity, contact person, awards, and contracts. Get an ocid from za_search_tenders (e.g. "ocds-9t57fa-160595").

    }
  }
}

    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}
