Set up Sell to State for me: government tenders and contract awards from official sources in 73 countries, as MCP tools. Agent docs: https://docs.selltostate.com/llms.txt
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.
3. Ask me what my company sells and in which countries. Call plan_search with my answer, then search with its scope, q and filters. Show me the 10 best open tenders with the title, the buyer and the dates. Then give me app_url: it shows every row, and I can save the search there for email alerts.

# Tender matches from your documents (Sell to State)

This feature is in development. Do the steps below and tell the user that the full feature is not available yet.

## Access

1. MCP: the server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp (OAuth, or the x-api-key of the agent sign-in: POST https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1/agent/signup, the user approves one code). Call `whoami`. `active` false is a free account: `plan_search` and `search` only, 1-2 searches a day.
2. REST: https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1 with the header `x-api-key`. Read the key from `STS_API_KEY` and never print it.
3. No plan yet: the user picks a plan at https://app.selltostate.com/plans, or you run the agent signup in "Get access" of https://www.selltostate.com/skills/selltostate/SKILL.md. The user pays in the browser.

## Task

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>.

Ask the user for each value in <angle brackets> before the first call.

## Steps

1. Read the document. Write the product names, the technical terms and the synonyms as short search phrases.
2. Search each phrase: MCP `search` with `scope=tenders`, `q`, `country`, `accepts_bids=true`. REST: `GET https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1/search?scope=tenders&q=<phrase>&accepts_bids=true`.
3. Merge the results, remove duplicates by `id`, and say which phrase matched each tender.
4. Show title, buyer (the part of `sub` before " · "), country, `deadline_at`, value with its currency and `source_url`.

## Rules

- Give `source_url` (the official notice) for each tender and award. The user reads the documents and bids on the official portal.
- Amounts are in the source currency. Do not add amounts in different currencies.
- The data shows awards, not bids. Do not say that a company lost a tender.
- On a 402, show the message and the link to the user, then stop. On a 429, wait `Retry-After` seconds.
- Credit the data: "Data: Sell to State (selltostate.com)".

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".
