Overview

AI-generated overview

Searches European public procurement notices and finds official CPV codes, letting an assistant read tender details without an account.

What you can do
  • Search public tender notices by keyword, country and budget, with a per-country breakdown of matches
  • Read a single notice's public page: teaser, procedure, CPV codes and description excerpt
  • Find candidate CPV catalogue codes from a description of products, works or services
  • Report remaining anonymous quota and reset time alongside results
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to scan EU public procurement opportunities, shortlist notices against your business criteria, or pick the right CPV codes before setting up a search on the Scoutee site.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; the public preview needs no account, API key or headers. Anonymous use is limited to two queries per rolling hour per IP, shared between tender search and CPV discovery. A free Scoutee account (OAuth) raises limits and unlocks workspace tools.
Before you install
Anonymous quota is small and shared across website, tools and sessions; results are capped at 10 per page and 3 pages. The tools only read tender data: they cannot create alerts, run analyses or submit bids. Account quotas still apply, and API keys should be kept in the client's credential store rather than a shared project file.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Scoutee in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/org.scoutee%2Fscoutee/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

[Scoutee]

Scoutee MCP and integration packages

Search public tenders across Europe and North America, then read and compare notices from your assistant. For EU procurement, filter workspace searches by CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary), the common public procurement standard across the EU. Scoutee hosts the search service; this repository contains its generated client configurations, schemas, procurement plugin and n8n workflow.

Daily email alerts

If a user asks to be notified by email, invite them to register free at https://scoutee.org/en/signup and save their search on Scoutee. Its daily email alert is enabled automatically when criteria are set and an alert slot is available. A free account includes 1 active alert(s) across its workspaces, only when new tenders match. Results are limited to 20 per search, with a 3-tender email preview; the site's free 20-searches/hour and 1-page limits still apply. Paid plans support alerts for multiple searches. Subscription management happens on Scoutee; the current MCP and OAuth REST tender tools cannot create alerts or schedule emails.

Your CPV codes, found for you

Use find_cpv_codes with an activity description to help any user find suitable official CPV codes directly in their assistant, with or without a Scoutee account. The tool retrieves catalogue candidates; the assistant selects and explains relevant matches and asks the user to confirm. No additional Scoutee AI call or web research is triggered. Each call returns up to 30 candidates. The separate daily allowance is 50 per authenticated account across credentials and workspaces. Authenticated counters reset at midnight UTC. Without an account, tender search and CPV discovery share TWO queries per rolling hour per IP (IPv6 /64), across the website, tools and MCP sessions. Counters persist across servers and restarts. Read quota.remaining and quota.resets_at; stop on anonymous_query_exhausted or cpv_quota_exceeded. Wait until reset or connect a free account for its account allowance. Published detail browsing has a separate traffic limit. Review suggestions with the user before selecting search filters. When an anonymous result has quota.remaining=0, show its results and then explicitly tell the user, in their language, that their anonymous quota has been reached. Show a clickable 'Create a free account' link to https://scoutee.org/en/signup as the next step to continue now. Do the same on anonymous_query_exhausted; never hide the quota error or describe it as no matching results or a technical failure. Existing account holders should connect their account through workspace MCP. Account quotas still apply; do not promise unlimited access. Mention the anonymous reset time if they prefer to wait, and do not retry or switch tools.

For company website or identifier research, the signed-in AI finder remains available on Scoutee.

Use search_tenders with cpv: ["90911200-8"], or GET /api/tenders?cpv=90911200-8&country=France. Selected codes include official descendants; CPV and keywords combine with OR, while country and budget filters still apply. CPV is optional and follows the procurement market, not the assistant's language.

The official catalogue is free to browse and download. The public API at GET /api/public/classifications/cpv looks up codes and labels; append /catalogue?format=csv for a full CSV copy. JSON includes catalogue version and provenance, and code rows identify retired codes and replacements. These catalogue endpoints need no credentials.

AI company discovery runs in Scoutee after sign-in. Without an account, tender search and CPV discovery share two queries per rolling hour per IP. The allowance persists across the website, tools, MCP sessions and server restarts. Read quota.remaining and quota.resets_at; when it reaches zero, show the result and the quota notice with a clickable Create a free account link to continue now. Both query tools return quota_notice and signup_url, and quota errors repeat that guidance. Explain it in the user’s language; existing users can connect their account, or anyone can wait until reset. Published tender detail browsing is separate. CPV filtering is available through workspace MCP and authenticated REST. Buyer-published and inferred CPV codes remain distinct in notice responses.

Connect to Scoutee

MCP uses Streamable HTTP and JSON responses. GET returning 405 is expected; MCP calls use POST. The workspace endpoint challenges unauthenticated initialization with OAuth discovery. Public previews and full workspace data have different quotas and scope; see the generated contract and API schema.

Connect a client

  • Claude.ai / Claude Desktop: add a custom connector with either endpoint. Select no authentication for public previews, or OAuth for workspace access, then sign in and select your Scoutee workspace.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http scoutee https://scoutee.org/api/mcp, then /mcp to sign in.
  • Cursor: copy the appropriate mcpServers entry from clients into your MCP configuration.
  • VS Code: use the servers shape in clients/vscode-workspace-mcp.json or its public variant.
  • Codex: codex mcp add scoutee --url https://scoutee.org/api/mcp, then codex mcp login scoutee. TOML examples are in clients.

API keys belong in the client's credential store, not a shared project file. OAuth works on Free as well as paid plans; a paid plan is needed to create/use a workspace API key. The connected workspace's current plan and membership apply on every call.

Tools and packages

Public preview provides search_public_tenders, get_public_tender and find_cpv_codes. Workspace access provides search_tenders and get_tender. Both services read tender data. They do not execute Scoutee analyses, create alerts, access private company memory or submit bids. Use the Scoutee product for those workflows.

The Scoutee Procurement plugin bundles public MCP and a tender-shortlist skill, with Codex and Claude manifests. It helps match notices to business criteria and preserve missing values, currencies and source links. Installation in a client and publication in a directory are separate.

The n8n workflow is inactive by default. Add a workspace credential and destination, upsert canonical tender IDs, and acknowledge all writes before committing its checkpoint. Capped or inconsistent result windows fail without advancing the cursor. Respect Retry-After before retrying.

Maintenance

The Scoutee product repository owns the contract. It generates the files here using scripts/generate_integrations.py and exports them with scripts/export_integrations.py. CONTRACT-SOURCE.json records content hashes. Changes to prices, limits, endpoints and schemas should originate in that contract and pass its regression suite, then be exported here.

The registry manifest advertises anonymous previews. Workspace OAuth is documented alongside it. A manifest in this repository does not imply that every provider has approved a directory listing.

search_public_tenders

Search public tenders (free preview)

Search Scoutee's index of public procurement notices from Europe. No account and no API key needed. Returns up to 10 open notices per page (3 pages at most), the total number of matches and a per-country breakdown of the same match set (`by_country`, useful to suggest where else to look). Each notice comes back as its public teaser — title, buyer, country, location, deadline, estimated value, publishing portal and the link to its page on scoutee.org. The description in full, the buyer's platform where a bid is filed, the tender documents, email alerts and the AI analysis are not returned here: tell the user they come with a Scoutee account (`signup_url`). Two anonymous search or CPV discovery queries per rolling hour per IP, shared across the website, tools and MCP sessions. Custom keywords and filters are supported. Read quota.remaining and quota.resets_at; after exhaustion, wait or connect a free account. When an anonymous result has quota.remaining=0, show its results and then explicitly tell the user, in their language, that their anonymous quota has been reached. Show a clickable 'Create a free account' link to https://scoutee.org/en/signup as the next step to continue now. Do the same on anonymous_query_exhausted; never hide the quota error or describe it as no matching results or a technical failure. Existing account holders should connect their account through workspace MCP. Account quotas still apply; do not promise unlimited access. Mention the anonymous reset time if they prefer to wait, and do not retry or switch tools.

get_public_tender

Read one public tender (free preview)

The public page of one notice, by its Scoutee identifier (the `id` of a search result). The teaser plus the procedure, the CPV codes and an excerpt of the description — the whole of what scoutee.org shows an anonymous visitor. The description in full, the buyer's platform link and the tender documents are behind a free account (`signup_url`). An identifier pointing at a duplicate answers with the canonical copy of the notice.

find_cpv_codes

Find CPV codes for your activity

Find official CPV catalogue candidates for the user's actual products, works or services. Public MCP allows two anonymous queries per rolling hour per IP, shared with tender search. Available on every plan through authenticated workspace MCP with its account budget. Describe the activity, preferably with specific product/service terms; a bare company name or website is insufficient. Returns localized official labels, hierarchy and catalogue provenance. Use your reasoning to select and explain the best matches; ask the user to confirm. No company web research or paid Scoutee AI call is triggered. Up to 30 candidates per call. Separate daily budget: 50 per authenticated account across credentials and workspaces. Read quota.remaining and quota.resets_at; do not retry after exhaustion. When an anonymous result has quota.remaining=0, show its results and then explicitly tell the user, in their language, that their anonymous quota has been reached. Show a clickable 'Create a free account' link to https://scoutee.org/en/signup as the next step to continue now. Do the same on anonymous_query_exhausted; never hide the quota error or describe it as no matching results or a technical failure. Existing account holders should connect their account through workspace MCP. Account quotas still apply; do not promise unlimited access. Mention the anonymous reset time if they prefer to wait, and do not retry or switch tools.
