Italy Tenders MCP server

@pipeworx/italy-tenders

Italian public-procurement tender notices from ANAC (Autorità Nazionale Anticorruzione), the national anti-corruption authority that runs Italy's tender/contract register. Fleet #3091.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1807+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

-- search tender notices by free-text keyword (title + CPV category description), CPV classification code/prefix, buyer (contracting authority) name substring, Italian province, and a publish-date range (defaults to the last 90 days). Returns each notice's CIG, title, buyer, province/region, contract type, amount (EUR), status, CPV, publish date, offer deadline, and outcome when ANAC has recorded one.

• ittendersearch(query?, cpv?, buyer?, province?, datefrom?, dateto?, limit?)

(Codice Identificativo Gara), including buyer tax code, cost center, procedure type, realization mode, lot count, and outcome communication date.

• ittenderdetail(cig) -- the full record for one notice by its CIG

Every response carries source, sourceurl, licence, dataasof, and (on ittendersearch/no-match responses) windowfrom/window_to -- the span of months this pack currently holds -- so a caller can tell "no tenders on this topic" apart from "that date range isn't loaded".

Auth

Keyless. The tools answer only through the Pipeworx gateway, which holds the data; a standalone install has no data to read, and every tool returns a clear "store is not bound in this runtime" error there instead of an empty list.

Data sources

anti-corruption authority, which runs the country's public-procurement notice register. ANAC publishes the register as open data (dati.anticorruzione.it, a CKAN portal) but only as bulk monthly dumps: every contracts resource has datastore_active: false (no server-side search/filter), so this pack builds a store from ANAC's own "cig-YYYY" monthly CSVs (scripts/italy-tenders/load-data.mjs) rather than proxying per request. The only live endpoint ANAC exposes is a single-CIG lookup with no discovery path -- not useful for keyword/buyer/CPV/date search, which is what this pack answers.

• Autorità Nazionale Anticorruzione (ANAC) -- Italy's national

Licence (quoted verbatim from ANAC's own CKAN packageshow API, checked live 2026-10-15): the cig-YYYY package reports "licensetitle": "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0", "licenseid": "CC-BY-SA-4.0"; each monthly resource additionally carries "licensetype": "https://w3id.org/italia/controlled-vocabulary/licences/A31CCBYSA40". CC-BY-SA-4.0 explicitly permits reuse and redistribution, with attribution and share-alike -- this is not a case the "mirror needs a reuse grant" rule (mirror-needs-grant-proxy-does-not, Bruce, 2026-09-08) holds for; the grant is already in the licence. Attribution is carried in every response's source/sourceurl fields.

Known gaps -- read before extending this pack

This pack holds a ROLLING RECENT WINDOW, not ANAC's full history. The cig register runs back to 2007 (cig-2007 through cig-2025 as separate yearly datasets on ANAC's portal); one month's CSV alone runs ~115-120k rows / ~100MB uncompressed (measured live for September 2025). Loading the full ~19-year history into one D1 database would dwarf every other store-backed pack here. ittendersearch/ittenderdetail report their loaded window (windowfrom/windowto, from the it_meta table) on every no-match response, so a caller can tell a genuinely empty result apart from a date outside what is loaded.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
