# Sell to State + Gemini CLI

*Source: [https://www.selltostate.com/integrations/gemini-cli/](https://www.selltostate.com/integrations/gemini-cli/)*

The Sell to State extension adds the Sell to State MCP server and the skills to Gemini CLI. Then ask Gemini for tenders, buyers and contract awards from your terminal.

## What you can do

- Find tenders that still accept bids, with the deadline and the link to the official notice.
- Profile a public buyer: spend by year, sectors and top suppliers.
- See which public contracts a company won, by country and buyer.
- Find the companies that win contracts for a product or a service.
- Save a search and manage your lists in your Sell to State account.

## Set up

1. **Install the extension.** Run:

   ```
   gemini extensions install https://github.com/getbeton/selltostate-skills
   ```
2. **Sign in.** Start Gemini CLI. When the server asks for sign-in, Gemini CLI opens your browser. Sign in to your Sell to State account and select Allow access.
3. **Ask a question.** Ask about tenders, buyers or suppliers. Run /mcp to see the Sell to State tools.

## Ask Gemini

- "Find UK tenders for payroll software that still accept bids."
- "Who are the top suppliers of Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust?"
- "Which German public contracts did Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity win?"

## Requirements

- A local browser for the sign-in step.
- A Sell to State account with an active plan. The tools return data only for an active plan.
- Data depth differs by country. The countries page shows what each country has.

## Questions

**Do I need an API key?** No. The assistant signs you in to your Sell to State account with OAuth. You see a consent page that names the application and the address it returns to. The access token expires after 1 hour and renews for up to 30 days.

**Where does the data come from?** From official government procurement sources, for example Find a Tender and Contracts Finder (UK), TED (EU) and national portals. Each tender links to its official notice.
