You currently have 15 active tender profiles, including 'Project A' and 'Tender B'. Would you like the detailed technical metadata for any of them? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show the win rate for 'Team Alpha' last month. ``` **Response:** ``` Bidding intelligence orchestrated! For Team Alpha, I've identified a win rate of 40% from last month's submissions. I've retrieved the project metadata for your review. Need help auditing the lost bids? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Check for any bid deadlines approaching this week. ``` **Response:** ``` Operational monitoring orchestrated! I've identified 3 bid deadlines this week, including 'Hospital Upgrade' on Friday. I've retrieved the technical requirement metadata for your review. Shall I notify the estimators? ``` ## Capabilities ### Audit Project Status List and retrieve detailed technical metadata for all ongoing projects in your portfolio. ### Manage Bid Requests Create new bid requests or list existing ones to get the project started. ### Monitor Active Bids Query and track all currently active bids to maintain a real-time view of revenue opportunities. ### Check Performance History Access complete directories of past bid results to oversee organizational win rates and performance. ### Track Deadlines Get real-time status updates for upcoming bid deadlines, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. ## Use Cases ### Quarterly Performance Review The Bidding Manager needs to know which projects performed best last quarter. They ask their agent to list all bid outcomes and then request the detailed technical metadata for the top five. The agent runs `list_outcomes` and pulls the relevant project data, providing a clean report instantly. ### Launching a New Tender The Bidding Lead identifies a potential new client opportunity. They use their agent to first list all active projects (`list_projects`) to check for overlaps, and then immediately use `create_request` to formally generate the necessary bid documentation. ### Deadline Crisis Management The Estimator realizes a major tender is due next week. They prompt their agent to check all upcoming deadlines, using the operational monitoring feature for an instant list of dates and required technical submissions. ### Debugging Bids A developer needs to debug why a specific bid failed. Instead of manually checking logs, they ask their agent to get the outcome details (`get_outcome`) using the ID, receiving immediate insight into the failure point. ## Benefits - Automate bid tracking: Instead of logging into multiple portals, your agent can list all bids and check their status in one go. - Never miss a deadline: The system monitors approaching deadlines and alerts you immediately, ensuring timely submissions. - Audit performance instantly: Accessing `list_outcomes` or running an analysis on past results gives you instant win rate data for review. - Centralized oversight: You get the full picture—from creating initial bids with `create_request` to seeing the final result with `get_outcome`, all in one workflow. - Verify connections easily: Use `check_autobidder_status` to ensure your API key is valid before starting any major bidding task. ## How It Works The bottom line is you tell your AI what you need—a list of bids, an outcome status, or a project profile—and it gets the clean data back for you. 1. First, subscribe to this MCP and retrieve your API Key from the Autobidder dashboard. 2. Next, connect that key to your AI client (Claude, Cursor, etc.). 3. Then, give your agent a command: 'List all my active bid requests.' The agent executes the call and returns structured data. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I check if my Autobidder account connection is working?** You use `check_autobidder_status`. This tool verifies the API connectivity first. It's a quick, essential step to ensure your agent can access live bidding data before you start any work. **What is the difference between list_bids and get_bid?** `list_bids` gives you an overview of all active bids. Use it when you want to see a roster of current opportunities. `get_bid` requires a specific ID and pulls deep, detailed data on just that one bid. **Can I track my win rate using the Autobidder MCP?** Yes, by combining `list_outcomes` and running performance intelligence. This allows you to build a report on historical results to measure your organizational success rates. **How do I start monitoring new projects?** You first use `list_projects` to view what's available. If you want to submit a bid, you then call `create_request` with the necessary project details. **When running `create_request`, how do I ensure that all mandatory project parameters are included?** The tool validates inputs against a required schema and returns specific error codes if data is missing or malformed. Always check the documentation for fields like client ID, budget caps, or target dates before submitting a bid request. **What specific details does the `get_profile` function return about my account permissions and limits?** It returns detailed metadata covering billing thresholds, associated user roles, and current API usage quotas. This lets your agent track resource allocation across different teams or projects. **After running `list_bids`, how do I pass one of the returned Bid IDs into the `get_bid` tool for deep inspection?** You must pass the unique Bid ID as a parameter to `get_bid`. This allows you to pull granular details—like specific submission dates or attached documents—that are only summarized in the list view. **What are the typical rate limits or throttling restrictions when running multiple commands like `list_projects` and `get_request`?** The system enforces standard API quotas based on your client usage tier. If you exceed a limit, your agent will receive a 429 error code and recommends waiting before retrying the call. **How do I find my Autobidder API Key?** Log in to your account, navigate to **Settings** > **API**, and copy your unique access token from the credentials section. **Can I check bid win rates via AI?** Yes! The `list_outcomes` tool allows your agent to retrieve status metadata for all your past submissions. **How do I list my active bid requests?** Use the `list_requests` tool to retrieve your complete directory along with the unique identifiers for all managed tenders.
