Hilma MCP — Finnish government public procurement notices (keyed).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
hilma_search | Search Finnish government public procurement notices on Hilma (hankintailmoitukset.fi), Finland's official national procurement notice service. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for Finnish public tenders, julkiset hankinnat, hankintailmoitukset, Finland government contract notices, calls for tenders (tarjouspyynnöt), and procurement plans — covers both EU-threshold (eForms) and national notices. Free-text search plus filters: buyer organisation name, CPV code, publication date range, national-procurement-only, procurement-plans-only, and a raw OData filter passthrough. Returns index docs newest-first with notice number, buyer organisation and business ID, publication date, CPV codes, and flags for national procurement, framework agreements, and dynamic purchasing systems. |
hilma_recent | List the most recent Finnish public procurement notices from Hilma (hankintailmoitukset.fi) — new government tenders, julkiset hankinnat, and contract notices published in Finland over the last N days (default 7). Convenience wrapper over hilma_search for "what new Finnish tenders were published this week" style questions; supports national-only and plans-excluded views. |
hilma_notice_lookup | Look up a single Finnish public procurement notice on Hilma (hankintailmoitukset.fi) by its Hilma notice number (e.g. "2026-012345") or index document id. Returns the index metadata for that notice — buyer organisation, publication date, CPV codes, procurement project id, and national/framework/dynamic-purchasing flags. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/hilma/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
