    How to connect

    How to connect Victano: EU tenders and grant calls to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://mcp.victano.com/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    How to connect Victano: EU tenders and grant calls to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://mcp.victano.com/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    Server tool list (7)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    connect_startBegin authentication. Send the user's work email; Victano mails them a six-digit code valid for 15 minutes and returns a request_id. Ask the user for the code, then call connect_verify with both. Nothing is charged and no card is needed.
    connect_verifyComplete authentication with the request_id from connect_start and the six-digit code the user received. On success this session is authenticated immediately, with no reconnect, and the full toolset appears. Save the returned api_key into this client's MCP config as an Authorization: Bearer header so future conversations start connected. The key is shown once and cannot be recovered.
    whoamiThe connected account: tier, persona, corpus freshness, and every limit — what is left in the current window, and the caps that do not renew. Call it when a user asks about limits, when you are unsure whether you are authenticated, or to confirm a setting took.
    list_workflowsThe playbook library: how bid professionals actually run this work, from the weekly scan through qualification, eligibility screening, reading a specification, clarification questions, and the proposal skeleton. READ A WORKFLOW BEFORE IMPROVISING A PROCESS. Pass persona='consultant' to see the multi-client ones. Follow with get_workflow.
    get_workflowThe complete step-by-step playbook for one workflow id, including the decision gates, the EU procurement specifics that decide eligibility, and the pitfalls that lose bids. Follow it rather than summarising it.

Scope by country — EU-wide ~10x. Filters: countries (ISO3 'LTU', or 'LT'), cpv (any prefix: '45', '452' or a full code), status ('open' default; 'forthcoming' for not-yet-open; 'any' adds expired), deadline_after / deadline_before (ISO dates), min_value / max_value (in EUR, converted from the buyer's currency; notices we cannot price in euros are excluded from a value filter rather than guessed at). Only here: criteria_stated=true returns only notices whose SELECTION CRITERIA the buyer published — about half of TED; and no_guarantee=true returns only notices that state no bid bond is required, which is cash a small company has to find before it can bid at all. NOTE on cpv and contract_nature: sources that publish neither (Lithuanian CVP notices, EU grant calls) are INCLUDED alongside those filters and ranked rather than dropped; pass cpv_strict=true or nature_strict=true to exclude them. Multi-lot procurements collapse to one entry (`lots`, `lot_ids`) — report once. Cards compact by default (`summary_cut` when truncated); fields='full' for raw codes or a longer summary. Also: source ('ted', 'cvp', 'ft'
    get_opportunityFull normalised record plus the document inventory. Use before advising on a bid; a search card is not enough. Follow with read_document for eligibility text. LT: perkančioji organizacija, skelbimas, kelio darbai; grants: dotacijos, finansavimas.
