Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key to use TED?
No! The TED Search API allows anonymous access for basic queries. An API key only increases your rate limits for high-volume usage. You can start searching tenders immediately without any credentials. If you need higher throughput, get a free key at developer.ted.europa.eu.
How can I find IT contracts over 500K EUR in Germany?
Combine tools: use search_by_cpv with code 72000000 (IT services) or search_by_country with code DE, then ask your agent to filter by value. Or use search_by_value with min_value 500000 and max_value 10000000. Your agent cross-references the results to show only German IT contracts above your threshold.
Is TED data limited to EU countries only?
TED primarily covers the 27 EU member states, but it also includes notices from EEA countries (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein), EU candidate countries, and some international organizations. All tools return data across this full scope. The search_by_country tool supports ISO codes for all covered territories.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
