AnMCP(Model Context Protocol) server for interacting withsimap.ch, Switzerland's public procurement platform.
Enables Claude and other AI assistants to search and view public tenders in Switzerland.
- 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.
The recommended way isnpx— no global install needed. Pick your client below and copy the snippet.
Edit the Claude Desktop configuration file:
- macOS:~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows:%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{ "mcpServers": { "simap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"] } } }
Restart Claude Desktop for the change to take effect.
{ "mcpServers": { "simap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"] } } }
Global config at~/.cursor/mcp.json(all projects) or project-level.cursor/mcp.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "simap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"] } } }
Fully quit and reopen Cursor — MCP servers are only loaded at startup.
Workspace config at.vscode/mcp.json(or open the user-level file via theMCP: Open User Configurationcommand):
{ "servers": { "simap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"] } } }
VS Code usesserversas the top-level key (notmcpServers).
Edit~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "simap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"] } } }
Open Cline'sMCP Serverspanel →Configuretab, then paste:
{ "mcpServers": { "simap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"], "disabled": false } } }
Edit the usersettings.json(~/.config/zed/settings.jsonon macOS/Linux,%APPDATA%\Zed\settings.jsonon Windows) or a project-level.zed/settings.json:
{ "context_servers": { "simap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@digilac/simap-mcp"] } } }
Zed usescontext_serversas the top-level key.
Then configure your client with the direct command:
{ "mcpServers": { "simap": { "command": "simap-mcp" } } }
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:
{ "mcpServers": { "simap": { "command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/simap-mcp/dist/index.js"] } } }
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"
- Official MCP Registry
