+
+Canada Government Procurement MCP — CanadaBuys open data (keyless).
+
+Part of [Pipeworx](https://pipeworx.io) — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1193+ live data sources.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "canada-tenders": {
+      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/canada-tenders/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1193+ data sources:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "pipeworx": {
+      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Using with ask_pipeworx
+
+Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
+
+```
+ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Canada Tenders data" })
+```
+
+The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

+/**
+ * Canada Government Procurement MCP — CanadaBuys open data (keyless).
+ *
+ * Wraps the Government of Canada's official CanadaBuys open procurement data,
+ * published under the Open Government Licence and mirrored on open.canada.ca.
+ * Source datasets:
+ *   - "CanadaBuys tender notices"  (open.canada.ca id 6abd20d4-7a1c-4b38-baa2-9525d0bb2fd2)
+ *   - "CanadaBuys award notices"   (open.canada.ca id a1acb126-9ce8-40a9-b889-5da2b1dd20cb)
+ *
+ * There is NO active CKAN datastore for these datasets (datastore_active=false on
+ * every resource), so this pack reads the underlying CSV files directly:
+ *   - Open tender notices (currently-open solicitations):
+ *       https://canadabuys.canada.ca/opendata/pub/openTenderNotice-ouvertAvisAppelOffres.csv
+ *   - Award notices, current fiscal year (with prior-year fallback):
+ *       https://canadabuys.canada.ca/opendata/pub/<FY>-awardNotice-avisAttribution.csv
+ *
+ * The CSV columns carry both English (-eng) and French (-fra) variants; this pack
+ * shapes the English fields. All tools return shaped, LLM-friendly objects (not raw
+ * CSV/API passthrough) and never throw — fetch/parse failures resolve to { error }.
