Works with Your AI Tools
Use an MCP-compatible client such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to work with your bid desk. Available connection methods and permissions depend on the client and your plan with that provider.
One Tool Registry for Your Bid Desk
The remote Model Context Protocol server uses the same tool registry as the in-app assistant. It can read opportunities, review queues, pipeline and history, work with suppliers and quotes, and search the knowledge base. Actions follow the creating user's current role and company access.
Connect with a Personal API Key
- Sign in and open Settings → API Keys & MCP.
- Create a separate key for your AI tool and choose its company.
- Follow the client-specific instructions shown in Settings. Prefer the endpoint
https://app.ifxbid.com/api/mcpwith a Bearer authorization header where supported. - Revoke the key in Settings when you stop using that connection.
A key acts as you. Keep it private; anyone holding it can exercise its permissions. This is an MCP connection, rather than a separately documented general-purpose REST API or a claim of a vendor-certified connector.
Notifications and Evidence
In-app notifications, Web Push and email digests bring matches and vendor replies back to the desk. Market-pricing research cites evidence by reference number; SAM.gov award lookup is available for relevant closed federal solicitations. Availability depends on source data and API quotas.
