Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

TED EU works with the most popular AI clients.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of TED EU, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with TED EU. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions TED EU owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need a TED API key to use this MCP?

    No, basic searches work with anonymous access. You can enter a TED API key if you need higher rate limits.

  • 02

    Which countries can I search?

    You can search across all 27 EU member states using their ISO country codes.

  • 03

    How can I filter by industry?

    You can use CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes to target specific sectors like IT or medical equipment.

  • 04

    Can I find tenders within a certain budget?

    Yes, you can use the search by value capability to filter tenders by their contract value in EUR.

  • 05

    What information is included in a tender notice?

    The MCP can retrieve full details including description, lots, award criteria, timelines, and contact info for the authority.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    How can I find IT contracts over 500K EUR in Germany?

    Combine capabilities: 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.

  • 08

    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 capabilities return data across this full scope. The search_by_country capability supports ISO codes for all covered territories.
