About Loopio MCP Server
Connect your Loopio RFP management platform to your AI agent to transform proposal workflows into intelligent, conversational processes.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Loopio tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 8 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Browse Projects — List all your active RFPs, RFIs, and security questionnaires. Check progress, due dates, and completion status at a glance.
- Search the Knowledge Library — Query your master library of pre-approved answers. Find exactly what you need before drafting new responses.
- Review Questionnaire Responses — Fetch individual questions and their current answers from any project. Track what has been answered and what still needs attention.
- Create New Submissions — Spin up new RFP projects instantly with name, deadline, company context, and owner assignment.
- Manage Teams — List team members to identify who is available for project assignments and collaboration.
