ihale-mcp
Provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server (FastMCP-based) for accessing Turkish public procurement information, including EKAP v2 tenders, tender details and announcements (HTML-to-Markdown conversion), OKAS code search, authority (public institution) search, and integrations for ilan.gov.tr-style official ads such as UYAP e-sales.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
The remote MCP URL uses HTTPS (good). However, no authentication/authorization mechanism is documented for the service, meaning access control is unclear. No documentation is provided about transport security beyond HTTPS, data handling, logging, or protection against abuse. Reliability/security around upstream scraping/HTML conversion is not described.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You want to prototype or build an MCP-enabled LLM workflow that can query Turkish tender and announcement data and consume results as structured data/Markdown.
Avoid When
You need enterprise-grade security controls (auditable auth, per-user rate limiting) or you require clearly documented reliability and idempotency semantics for repeated calls.
Use Cases
- • LLM agents that need to search EKAP v2 tenders by keywords, IKN, tender type, date ranges, and many boolean/list filters
- • Retrieving detailed tender metadata and associated announcements in a model-friendly Markdown format
- • Searching OKAS classification codes and descriptions
- • Searching Turkish public authorities (ministries, municipalities, universities) for procurement context
- • Tracking official government procurement/announcement ads (e.g., UYAP e-sales, tebligat, personnel announcements) via the provided MCP tools
Not For
- • Real-time operational decision systems that require strict SLAs and documented uptime
- • Use cases requiring strong, documented authentication/authorization controls for an end-user
- • Use cases that require guaranteed compliance guarantees or formal vendor/operator assurances regarding EKAP/ilan.gov.tr terms
Interface
Authentication
README describes a public remote MCP URL and local execution via uvx; no API keys, OAuth, or scope model is documented.
Pricing
No pricing information provided in the supplied README/manifest.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Remote MCP endpoint may be rate limited by upstream EKAP/related portals; the README advises reducing calls and using backoff/retry/queueing but does not provide tool-level retry/error-code guidance.
- ⚠ Some filters may require an additional session context (cookies) according to the README; agent implementations may need to support cookie handling when calling those tools.
- ⚠ HTML-to-Markdown conversion is performed; downstream consumers should expect formatting differences and potential information loss vs raw HTML.
