For agents

Query the corpus as a tool, not a website

203,727 EU public contracts with a known expiry date, available over MCP and A2A with the same six capabilities on both. Discovery is free and unauthenticated — point a client at the endpoint and call tools/list.

Interface	Endpoint	Notes
MCP	https://recompete.getvda.ai/mcp	streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC
A2A	https://recompete.getvda.ai/a2a	message/send with a skill id
Agent card	/.well-known/agent-card.json	skills, transports, security schemes
REST	https://recompete.getvda.ai/api/leads	for non-agent clients

Three ways to get rows

Aggregates — counts, total value, the next window-opening date — are free on every route and need no credential at all. Rows are the product, and there are three ways to reach them.

1 · Free trial

A 14-day key with full row access, no card. Works identically on MCP, A2A and REST — send it as Authorization: Bearer.

2 · Subscription

Radar, Pro or Desk. Same bearer-key mechanism, higher row caps, and published incumbent contacts on Pro and above.

contact for a key

3 · x402, per call

Implemented and ready; inactive until a payout address is configured. The endpoint advertises its own status at GET /mcp.

Capabilities and per-call price

Skill	What it answers	x402 price
search_expiring_contracts	Which German IT contracts over 10 million euro expire in 2027?	$2.00
describe_corpus_coverage	What countries and sectors does the corpus cover?	free
get_contract_detail	Show contract 704667-2023 lot 0	$2.00
supplier_portfolio	Which contracts does Atos hold across Europe and when do they expire?	$20.00
buyer_procurement_history	What has the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs bought and from whom?	$20.00

A row bought per call is raw data. The €400–2,000 qualified-lead bands shown on contract pages are a different product: verified, contactable and human-checked before delivery. Nevermined plans and credits are implemented and activate once a plan is configured.

Recompete is paid by vendors for delivered leads, never for outcomes. No fee is contingent on winning a contract. Ranking is computed from published procurement data alone and is not influenced by who pays.
