Doffin MCP — Norwegian government public procurement notices (BYOK / platform key).

Tools

ToolDescription
doffin_searchSearch Norwegian government public-procurement notices on Doffin, Norway's official national database for offentlige anskaffelser (Database for offentlige innkjøp, doffin.no). PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for Norway public tenders / anbud, kunngjøringer, contract notices, contract award results (tildelinger), dynamic purchasing schemes, and intention announcements from Norwegian state and municipal buyers. Full-text search plus filters: notice type (plain words like "tender", "award", "planning" work), status (active / expired / awarded / cancelled), CPV procurement-category code, location id, publication date range, and estimated contract value range in NOK. Sortable by publication date, deadline, relevance, or estimated value. Each hit gets a public doffin.no notice URL attached. Requires a free Doffin API key via _apiKey when a platform key is unavailable.
doffin_noticeFetch the full document for one Norwegian public-procurement notice from Doffin (Norway's official government tender database, doffin.no) by its Doffin id, e.g. "2023-100282". Returns the complete notice as published — buyer, description, CPV codes, deadlines, values in NOK, and award details where present — plus the public doffin.no URL. Use ids from doffin_search or doffin_recent results. Requires a free Doffin API key via _apiKey when a platform key is unavailable.
doffin_recentList the latest Norwegian government tenders and contract awards published on Doffin (Norway's national public-procurement / offentlige anskaffelser database) in the last N days, newest first. Great for monitoring fresh Norwegian anbud, new kunngjøringer, contract award results (tildelinger), and upcoming bid deadlines. Optionally narrow to one or more notice types (tender/competition, award/result, planning, ...) or a free-text query. Each hit gets a public doffin.no notice URL attached. Requires a free Doffin API key via _apiKey when a platform key is unavailable.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "doffin": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/doffin/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/doffin/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:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1863+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/doffin_search \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query":"IT-drift","type":"COMPETITION","status":"ACTIVE"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/doffin_search. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Run it from npm

@pipeworx/mcp-doffin is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same https://gateway.pipeworx.io/doffin/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access; there is no offline mode.

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

Without a key it calls anonymously, capped at 50 calls a day. A free account raises that to 200 a day: get a key at https://pipeworx.io/signup and add "env": { "PIPEWORX_API_KEY": "<your key>" } to the server entry. The key is sent as a Bearer token, the same way a hosted connection sends it, so calls are metered and billed exactly as they are there.

It lists only this pack's tools by default. Set PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 to also list ask_pipeworx and the other gateway-wide tools.

Behind an HTTPS proxy: Node's built-in fetch does not read HTTPS_PROXY by default. Newer Node releases honour it when NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 is set; check your Node version's documentation.

Using with ask_pipeworx

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:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Doffin data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
