Sell to State + 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.

- 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.

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.
