Developed by Digilac.

Features

Tool	Description
`search_tenders`	Search tenders with filters (text, dates, types, cantons, CPV)
`get_tender_details`	Get full details of a specific tender
`search_cpv_codes`	Search CPV codes (Common Procurement Vocabulary)
`browse_cpv_tree`	Navigate CPV code hierarchy

`browse_npk_tree`	Navigate NPK code hierarchy
`search_oag_codes`	Search OAG codes (object types)
`browse_oag_tree`	Navigate OAG code hierarchy

Prerequisites

Node.js ≥ 22 (LTS or newer).
An MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, …).
No simap account or API key required — the simap API is public and read-only.

Installation & Configuration

The recommended way is npx — no global install needed. Pick your client below and copy the snippet.

Claude Desktop

Edit the Claude Desktop configuration file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop for the change to take effect.

Other clients

Claude Code (CLI)

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Global config at ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or project-level .cursor/mcp.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Fully quit and reopen Cursor — MCP servers are only loaded at startup.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Workspace config at .vscode/mcp.json (or open the user-level file via the MCP: Open User Configuration command):

config.json

{
  "servers": {
    "simap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code uses servers as the top-level key (not mcpServers).

Windsurf

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code extension)

Open Cline's MCP Servers panel → Configure tab, then paste:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"],
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

Zed

Edit the user settings.json (~/.config/zed/settings.json on macOS/Linux, %APPDATA%\Zed\settings.json on Windows) or a project-level .zed/settings.json:

config.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "simap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Zed uses context_servers as the top-level key.

Alternative: Global install

Terminal

npm install -g @digilac/simap-mcp

Then configure your client with the direct command:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simap": {
      "command": "simap-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Alternative: From source

bash

git clone https://github.com/Digilac/simap-mcp.git
cd simap-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then configure your client with the absolute path:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simap": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/simap-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once configured, just ask your AI assistant in natural language. Mention "in simap" to make sure the assistant routes the request through the MCP server:

"Show me new tenders published today in simap"
"Find construction tenders in canton Vaud in simap"
"Give me the details of this tender in simap" (after a search)
"Search CPV codes for IT services in simap"
