# Autobidder MCP MCP > Autobidder MCP manages your entire project bidding cycle by automating ad spend and bid orchestration across multiple platforms. It lets your AI agent discover new tenders, submit bids, track deadlines in real-time, and retrieve detailed outcomes—all from one chat interface. ## Overview - **Category:** marketing-automation - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** bid-management, ad-spend, tender-management, automation, performance-optimization, bidding-strategy ## Description Running complex projects means juggling dozens of tabs: checking if a tender is active, submitting the right quote by the deadline, and tracking whether you actually won. This MCP lets your AI client take over that coordination work. You can ask it to look through all available opportunities to scope new bids, then have it prepare and submit quotes for specific projects. The agent monitors everything from bid deadlines to final results, giving you a complete picture of performance without leaving your workspace. When you connect this MCP to your existing AI client, the entire bidding process becomes one conversation. Plus, because Vinkius handles all execution through its secure zero-trust proxy, your credentials are used only in transit; they never sit on disk, keeping your data safe while the bids get placed. ## Tools ### check_autobidder_status Verifies if your connection to Autobidder is active and working correctly. ### create_request Generates a new official bid request profile within the system. ### get_bid Retrieves detailed information about a specific, existing bid submission. ### get_outcome Fetches the final result details for a completed project or tender. ### get_profile Retrieves general account and user profile information from Autobidder. ### get_request Gets full details for a specific, existing bid request. ### list_bids Lists every active and archived bid submission record you have on file. ### list_outcomes Retrieves a list of all completed project outcomes to review performance history. ### list_projects Shows you a comprehensive directory of every available or upcoming projects and tenders. ### list_requests Lists all the active bid requests that are currently open for quoting. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all active bid requests in my Autobidder account. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved your requests.

They tell their agent, 'list all current opportunities.' The agent uses `list_projects` and returns the list of viable tenders, saving hours of manual dashboard clicking. ### Analyzing a loss An Estimator lost a major bid last month. They ask their agent to review the project's history. The agent uses `get_outcome` and provides the full details, showing exactly why the quote fell short. ### Checking compliance A Bidding Manager wants assurance that the bidding system is ready for a major day of submissions. They simply ask the agent to `check_autobidder_status`, getting an immediate 'all clear' confirmation. ### Comparing bids A team needs to compare their current bid against historical performance. The agent pulls all relevant records by running `list_bids` and comparing the metadata side-by-side for review. ## Benefits - Find new opportunities fast. Use `list_projects` to scope out every available tender and project without manual portal navigation. - Keep track of your money flow. By using `get_outcome`, you pull the definitive record of whether a bid paid off, making revenue tracking straightforward. - Never miss a deadline again. Your agent can monitor status updates and alert you to approaching deadlines directly through conversation. - Audit past performance easily. Run `list_outcomes` or `list_bids` to build reports on win rates and project metadata for quarterly reviews. - Stay connected at all times. Use `check_autobidder_status` whenever you start a session to ensure the API connection is live before submitting anything. ## How It Works The bottom line is you stop managing tabs and start talking to a dedicated project coordinator. 1. First, you subscribe to this MCP and pull your API Key from the Autobidder dashboard. 2. Second, connect your AI client (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to Vinkius using that key. This gives your agent access to all bidding functions. 3. Third, start giving natural language commands—like 'Find me bids expiring this week'—and watch your agent handle the data flow and reporting. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I find out what projects are available using list_projects?** You use `list_projects` when you need a broad scope of opportunity. This tool shows you every potential tender and project, helping you plan your bidding strategy before any quotes are submitted. **What's the difference between list_requests and list_bids?** `list_requests` pulls a directory of all active bid profiles waiting for action. `list_bids`, however, shows every actual submission you have made, allowing you to review your history. **Can I check if the system is working before starting work? How do I use check_autobidder_status?** Yes. You run `check_autobidder_status` at the start of your session. This confirms API connectivity instantly, preventing you from wasting time on a broken link. **If I need to know why a bid failed, should I use get_outcome or list_outcomes?** Use `list_outcomes` if you want a directory of all past results. Use `get_outcome` when you already know the specific project ID and just want those final details. **If I use `create_request`, how can I confirm that the bid request was successfully generated?** The response payload confirms successful creation. However, you should immediately follow up with `get_request` using the returned ID to verify all details and ensure the data is fully saved. **When I only need deep technical metadata for one specific bid, which tool gives me that detail? Should I use `get_bid`?** `get_bid` provides comprehensive technical metadata for a single entry. This is much more detailed than simply listing the bid using `list_bids`, letting you analyze every variable. **What kind of information should I expect when running `get_profile`?** `get_profile` returns your current account details, including API quota and billing status. This is essential for monitoring usage and preventing unexpected rate limit hits during large operations. **If I run `list_bids` and get thousands of records, how do I pull all the data?** The tool supports pagination parameters in its response structure. You'll need to iterate through the tokens provided by the initial call to fetch every single record until you hit the end of the dataset.
