# Match tenders to your product documents

*Source: [https://www.selltostate.com/features/document-tender-matching/](https://www.selltostate.com/features/document-tender-matching/)*

This feature is in development. You will upload a product document, and the search agent will turn it into a tender search.

In development. Every paid plan gets it when it ships.

## Prompt for your AI agent

```
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. Claude: Customize > Connectors > Add custom connector. ChatGPT: chatgpt.com/plugins > + > Add custom MCP server, choose OAuth. Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http selltostate https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp, then /mcp > Authenticate.
2. The tools are free to connect. A free account gets plan_search 3 times a day and search for 2 different searches a day: titles, buyers, status and dates. Amounts, winners and notice links need a plan. Call whoami to see my plan. Read the skill at https://www.selltostate.com/skills/selltostate-document-tender-matching/SKILL.md.
3. When the Sell to State plan_search tool is available, read my product sheet and find tenders that fit it. Until then, search tenders for the products in this text: <paste>.

## Why a document

A one-line answer to "What do you sell?" is short. A website is better. A datasheet or a capability statement is the most precise: it names the products, the standards and the uses. That is the vocabulary of a tender.

## What is planned

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, TXT or an image of up to 20 MB. We extract the text, keep the file in private storage, and the search agent writes a search from it. You can also type a request in plain words, for example "body cameras for police in Kenya and South Africa, open only".

## In the app, the API and MCP

One search agent serves the chat in the app, a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, so your AI agent can ask for the same search.

## How it will work

1. Upload a document: Datasheet, brochure, capability statement.
2. We read it: Text and scanned pages.
3. The agent writes the search: With your countries.
4. You save it: And get new matches by email.

## Who it is for

- Manufacturers with many product lines
- Companies that have a capability statement for federal or state buyers
- Teams that want their AI agent to search for them
