Example Queries
Once installed, ask your AI assistant:

- "How many active tenders are there right now?"
- "Get the latest government procurement opportunities"
How It Works
The get_tender_stats tool is free and returns live statistics from the API. The search, feed, and match tools hit x402 payment-gated endpoints. Without a wallet configured, they return pricing info and direct URLs. The free stats tool alone provides valuable metadata about 11,000+ active opportunities.
Payment
Paid endpoints use x402 micropayments in USDC on Base (eip155:8453). When a paid tool is called without payment credentials, it returns the price and a direct URL to the API endpoint.
