Tendy exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets external AI assistants query your procurement data in real time. Once connected, you can search tenders, retrieve full notices, and access your saved searches — all from inside the chat interface you already use every day, without opening Tendy in a separate tab.

Supported assistants

The following AI assistants are verified and supported:
  • Claude (Anthropic)
  • ChatGPT (OpenAI)
  • Mistral Le Chat
  • Grok (xAI)

What AI assistants can do via MCP

How to connect

There are two ways to authenticate the MCP server with your Tendy account.

Option 1 — Personal Access Token (PAT)

Use a PAT for manual setup in any MCP-compatible client that is not yet listed as a verified connector.
  1. Go to Settings → Access Tokens in Tendy.
  2. Click New token, give it a descriptive name, and copy the token value.
  3. In your MCP client, add a new server with:
    • Endpoint: https://tendy.by/api/mcp
    • Auth header: Authorization: Bearer <your-token>

Option 2 — OAuth 2.1

Claude and ChatGPT connectors support a one-click OAuth 2.1 authorization flow. Open the connector page in the Integrations tab, click Connect, and authorize Tendy in the pop-up. No token copying required.
For step-by-step instructions tailored to each assistant, see the per-assistant setup guides in the Integrations tab.

Tendy AI vs. AI assistant integrations

These are two different features. AI assistant integrations (available on the Basic plan and higher) let you connect your own external AI tool — ChatGPT, Claude, and so on — to Tendy’s procurement data. Tendy AI (available on the Pro plan and higher) is a separate built-in assistant that runs directly on tender documents inside Tendy itself. You can use both independently or together.

Plan requirement

AI assistant integrations via MCP are available on the Basic plan or higher. See tendy.by/plans for a full comparison.
