MCP integration

Connect TenderHub to your AI assistant

Ask for Australian tenders in plain English from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. It works with any TenderHub account, and a paid plan unlocks the full detail.

What you can ask

Real questions you can paste in once you are connected.

Search for tenders
Search every opportunity TenderHub aggregates, by category, location, buyer and closing date.

“Find open ICT tenders in Queensland that close in the next 14 days.”

Look up supplier insights Paid plan
Ask who has been winning work in a category or region, straight out of the awarded-tender archive.

“Who has won facilities management contracts in Victoria in the last two years?”

Watch an opportunity Paid plan
Add an opportunity to your watch list so you hear about changes, briefings and awards.

“Add the second result to my watch list.”

Save a search Paid plan
Turn the search you just ran into a saved search with notifications, without leaving the chat.

“Save that search as "NT health services" so I can be notified daily.”

Check your notification times Paid plan
Ask when your next notification is due and how your alerts are currently set up.

“When is my next daily summary due, and which saved searches feed it?”

Use your organisation profile
Let the assistant work from the categories and regions your organisation already told TenderHub about.

“Based on my organisation profile, what should we be bidding on this month?”

How access works

You stay in control of the connection, and the assistant never sees more than you do.

  • You sign in with your TenderHub accountConnecting sends you to TenderHub to sign in with the same account you use on this site. Your password is never given to the assistant.
  • You approve the accessNothing is connected until you approve it, and the assistant acts as you, never as anyone else in your organisation.
  • You can revoke it at any timeRemove the TenderHub connector in your assistant and the connection ends immediately. You can reconnect whenever you like.
  • Your plan sets what the assistant seesThe assistant can only reach what your TenderHub plan and your organisation already let you see on the website. Nothing more.
  • Fair use keeps it fastWe apply fair use limits so the service stays quick for everyone. Normal day-to-day use will not run into them.
