Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

buyer
get_buyer
A contracting authority (Vergabestelle): contact data from one of its notices (no persons; may belong to a law firm or central purchasing body that runs procedures for it, for a procedure use the contact in its notice), platforms, open tenders, recent awards, offers per award, frequent winners, trades and contracts that end soon.
categories
list_categories
Slugs of all trades (Gewerke) and Bundesländer for the other tools.
company
get_company_awards
Contracts won by a company (legal entities with a page on vergabeweiser.de/unternehmen only, never sole traders): totals, buyers, Länder, trades and the awards, 25 per page, with the company's published sum. firm_shared_max: an amount the notice gives alike for several winners of the procedure (usually a shared framework ceiling); not counted as the company's sum or share.
expiring
expiring_contracts
Awarded service and supply contracts whose term ends within the next months according to the notice (end date or duration, without renewals), with winner, renewals and offers. A new tender is likely but not certain. Needs at least gewerk, land or buyer.
market
market_stats
Market of one trade in Germany, a Bundesland or a Kreis: tenders in the last 12 months, open now, median offers per award, share with a single offer, typical award sums (quartiles) and frequent winners.
organisations
find_organisations
Find contracting authorities (Vergabestellen) and companies by name or its beginning, e.g. "Stadt Köln", "Fraunhofer", "WISAG". Returns name, city, slug and page URL for get_buyer and get_company_awards, the most active first. Only organisations with a page in the index; sole traders are never listed.
tender
get_tender
One tender: description, all deadlines (Bieterfragen, Teilnahmeantrag, Angebotsfrist), procedure, lots, result with winners, sums and number of offers, link to the documents on the buyer's platform and to the original notice. result.framework_max is the ceiling of a framework agreement for all call-offs, not an award sum: never report it as the contract value or a firm's share. Do not add up awards[].amount, result.sum is the sum: amount_is_shared_ceiling marks an amount several winners share, never that winner's own sum, amount_covers_several_lots a bid over several lots.
tenders
search_tenders
Search German public tenders like vergabeweiser.de/suche. Free text in German may contain a trade and a place ("Gebäudereinigung Rosenheim", "Dach 25 km um 90402"). Returns 20 results per page with deadline, buyer, place, estimated value and the page URL. result.framework_max is the ceiling of a framework agreement, never an award sum.

Vergabeweiser — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Vergabeweiser do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: expiring_contracts, find_organisations, get_buyer, get_company_awards, get_tender, list_categories and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Vergabeweiser working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 143 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Vergabeweiser?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Vergabeweiser need an API key?
No. Vergabeweiser completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Vergabeweiser?
It answers our handshake in 143 ms on average, which is faster than 84% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
