What it does
The server calls public interfaces of Brazil's national procurement portal (PNCP) and company data from the federal revenue registry. An agent uses it to search tender notices by date, procurement type, state, buyer tax ID, value and keyword, and to read items, documents, bidding results and winners. Other tool groups cover contracts and their amendments, price registries, buyer and supplier profiles, annual procurement plans and company data by CNPJ. There are time-period aggregates, a two-period comparison and analysis templates: a tender viability checklist and a buyer profile. The server runs over stdio and needs no keys or local database.
Who it is for. Suppliers and analysts who follow Brazilian public procurement and want to query tenders through an agent.
Good fit when
- Select IT service tenders by state from the last week above a value threshold.
- Find which contracts a supplier holds with federal bodies over two years.
- Check valid price registries for a product before bidding.
- Read a tender notice and get a viability checklist.
Not a fit when
- You need procurement outside Brazil or from portals other than PNCP.
- Bid submission needs portal automation, while the server only reads data.
- You need real-time data freshness guarantees.
Example request
Find tenders for laptops in the state of Sao Paulo from the last seven days and show valid price registries for that category.MCP

Limitations
The server reads public PNCP data and the CNPJ registry through BrasilAPI or MinhaReceita, switchable with the `CNPJ_PROVIDER` variable. It needs Node.js 18 or newer. This is a stdio server: the MCP client launches it, not you in a terminal, and `npx` only downloads the package into a cache. The documentation is Portuguese-first and tools work with Brazilian identifiers and names. Data completeness depends on the portal and third-party registries; the latest commit dates from September 2026.
How to disable. Remove the `licinexus` entry from `claude_desktop_config.json` or another client config and restart the app. The package cache sits in `~/.npm/_npx/`.
FAQ
Is an API key required?
No. The server calls public PNCP and company registry endpoints, and needs no signup or local database.
How do I connect it to Claude Desktop?
Open `claude_desktop_config.json`, add an `mcpServers` entry with command `npx` and arguments `-y @licinexusbr/mcp`, then fully quit and reopen Claude.
What data can I get?
Tender notices and their items, bidding results, contracts and amendments, price registries, annual procurement plans, buyer and supplier profiles and company data by CNPJ.
What do the analysis tools do?
`analyze_edital` returns a viability checklist for a notice and `analyze_orgao` builds a buyer overview profile. The other tools return data without interpretation.
Can I run the server manually in a terminal?
No. It is a stdio server and requests arrive from the MCP client over standard input. The client itself calls `npx -y @licinexusbr/mcp`.
