brazil_search_tenders
Pack: brazil-pncp · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/brazil-pncp/mcp
Search published Brazilian government tenders / bidding notices (contratações / editais) from the official PNCP portal (Portal Nacional de Contratações Públicas). These are open or recently published procurement opportunities under Lei 14.133/2021. Returns each tender with its PNCP control id, object (Portuguese), estimated value in BRL, procurement modality, agency, state/municipality, proposal open/close dates, and a link to the source system. Dates are YYYYMMDD filtering by PNCP publication date; omit for roughly the last 30 days. The modality defaults to 6 (Pregão Eletrônico), the most common; pass another code to filter differently.
