GETS NZ MCP — New Zealand Government Electronic Tenders Service (keyless).

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`nz_tender_open`	List all currently open New Zealand government tenders from GETS (gets.govt.nz — the official NZ Government Electronic Tenders Service). PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for New Zealand public procurement, government contract opportunities, RFPs, RFTs, and requests for quote. Each tender includes reference, title, buying agency (e.g. Ministry of Social Development, Health New Zealand, NZTA, city councils), publish date, close date, UNSPSC categories, region, and the public GETS URL. Optionally narrow with a keyword filter.
`nz_tender_search`	Search open New Zealand government tenders on GETS by keyword — matches tender titles, buying agency names, UNSPSC categories, regions, and the tender overview text. Use for questions like "NZ government tenders for cybersecurity", "Wellington council procurement", "open RFPs from the Ministry of Health". Returns matching tenders with reference, title, agency, close date, region, categories, a short overview snippet, and the public GETS URL.
`nz_tender_detail`	Fetch full detail for a single New Zealand government tender from GETS by its RFx ID (the numeric id from nz_tender_open / nz_tender_search results, e.g. 32705858). Returns tender name, reference number, buying agency, department/business unit, tender type (RFP, RFT, RFQ, etc.), coverage, open and close dates, UNSPSC categories, regions, required pre-qualifications, contact, full overview text, and the human GETS page URL.

Quick Start

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

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

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gets-nz/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 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

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 Gets Nz data" })

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