The MCP automatically converts this into a date window for the query. **Can I see the exact amount of a contract?** Yes, the tools provide the negotiated amount range using the montant_min and montant_max values in euros. **What kind of market types are available?** The data is categorized into SERVICES, TRAVAUX (works), and FOURNITURE (supplies). **Do I need to manage my own API keys for Paris Open Data?** No, Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the connection to the data source for you. **Do I need an API key?** No. opendata.paris.fr serves all city datasets anonymously over its Opendatasoft REST API. This MCP defines no credentials and needs nothing configured. **How do I filter tenders by year?** Pass a 4-digit year (e.g. "2023"). The annee_de_notification column is date-typed, so the tool builds a quoted ISO year window (>="2023-01-01T00:00:00" AND <="2023-12-31T23:59:59") instead of a text equality, which the platform would reject with a 400. **What is the difference between montant_min and montant_max?** A tender's negotiated amount is a range: montant_min and montant_max in euros. big_tenders and the min_amount filter test montant_max — so min_amount 1e6 returns the tenders whose upper bound reaches a million euros. **Which budgeting perimeters are included?** perimetre_financier marks the budgeting perimeter, e.g. "M57 Ville" (City of Paris), "M49 Assainissement" or "M57 Département" — the register covers both city and department markets. Use the perimetre filter for an exact match.
