1. Sign me in yourself. Try this first: you need me only for one approval click.
- If you can send HTTP requests: POST https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1/agent/signup with JSON {"client_name": "<your app name>"}. Show me verification_uri_complete from the reply as a link. I open it, sign up free with Google or email, and approve the code. Every "interval" seconds, POST token_endpoint with {"device_code": "<device_code>"} until the reply has access_token. Send access_token in the x-api-key header to the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp.
- If you cannot send HTTP requests: tell me to add the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp in this app. Its sign-in page also creates the free account.

## A profile for each supplier

Total awarded value, the number of awards, the buyers served, the sectors, the first and the last award, the largest award and the history by year. Each number links to the awards behind it.

## Find their buyers

A competitor's buyers are your prospects. See which agencies buy from them, how often and for how much, and when the last contract started.

## Ask your agent

Through the MCP server, ask "Which contracts did <competitor> win in Germany this year?" The agent calls the award search with the supplier filter and gives you the list with links.

## How it works

1. Search the supplier: By name, in any country.
2. Open the profile: Awards, buyers, sectors.
3. Find the buyers: Your next prospects.
4. Save a search: Get their new wins by email.

## Who uses it

- Sales leaders who map the market share of each competitor
- Bid teams that check the incumbent before they bid
- Investors and analysts who study public-sector revenue

## Questions

### Can I follow a competitor?

Yes. Save an award search with the competitor as the supplier filter and turn on the email alert. You get their new wins.

### Are company names matched across countries?

Each country keeps its own supplier records, because registry ids differ by country. Search the name to see the profiles of a group in several countries.
