Short answer

How can I manage my auction catalog using AI?

You can add new donated items or pull up details on existing ones using your chat interface. Your AI handles the catalog updates and status checks so you don't have to manually log into the dashboard.

Catalog outcomes

Where your data lands

Your AI handles the data entry and retrieval tasks.

NEW ITEM

Instant catalog additions

The AI takes your item descriptions and adds them to the auction list immediately. You get a confirmed entry without manual typing.

STATUS

Real-time item tracking

Ask for the current state of any specific item. The AI pulls the latest data so you know exactly what's available.

LISTING

Full catalog views

Request a complete list of everything currently in your auction. The AI organizes the items for you to review.

HUMAN

Manual oversight needed

You still need to physically inspect donated goods. The AI manages the digital record, but you handle the physical inventory.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request an update.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat window and the ClickBid database.

  1. Registering donations

    When you describe a new item, the AI creates a new record in your auction system.

    create_clickbid_item

  2. Retrieving item details

    If you need to know more about a specific piece, the AI fetches the specific record you asked for.

    get_clickbid_item

  3. Auditing the catalog

    The AI can pull a full report of all items currently listed in the system.

    list_clickbid_items

  4. Confirming changes

    After an update, the AI verifies the item exists in the database to ensure the task finished.

    get_clickbid_item

FAQ

How the ClickBid MCP behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete items from my auction?

    No. The current tools only allow for creating, listing, and getting item details. You must delete items manually in the ClickBid dashboard.

  • 02

    Can I change the price of an item through chat?

    No. There is no tool available to modify existing item properties like price or description.

  • 03

    Does the AI know if an item has been sold?

    Yes, if that status is part of the item's data, the AI can see it when you request item details or the full list.

  • 04

    Do I need to keep the chat window open to add items?

    No. You can trigger these actions whenever you are working in your AI client.

  • 05

    Can the AI upload photos of the donated items?

    No. The AI only handles the text-based data for the auction items.
