Connect Claude
Add Polytender to claude.ai, Claude Desktop or Claude Code.
The connector URL is the same everywhere:
https://api.polytender.com/mcpclaude.ai and Claude Desktop
The fastest route is the connect page in the app: open AI connector in the sidebar and use the Claude button. It opens claude.ai with the "Add custom connector" form already filled in, so there is nothing to copy.
Add the connector
Click Add in the prefilled form. If you prefer to do it by hand: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Polytender and paste the URL above.
Sign in and authorize
Claude sends you to a Polytender sign-in page. Sign in (or create your free account), pick the organization this connection may access, and click Authorize.
Allow the first tool call
The first time Claude uses a Polytender tool it asks for permission. Choose Allow.
Ask away: "Which open tenders in my region fit my company?"
Claude Code
Add it from your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http polytender https://api.polytender.com/mcpThe first call opens the same OAuth flow in your browser. Alternatively use a personal API key:
claude mcp add --transport http polytender https://api.polytender.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer pt_your_key"Which organization is used
An OAuth connection is bound to the organization you picked during authorization. To use a different one, disconnect the app and connect again, or use an API key bound to that organization.
Membership is checked on every call, so losing access to an organization takes effect immediately.
