New · Stotles MCP

Public sector intelligence, inside your AI tools

Use the most complete UK and Ireland public sector data from within Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or any other MCP client.

How it works

Your assistant knows when to ask Stotles

Once connected, ask the questions you want to ask directly in your AI assistant of choice. It fetches what it needs from Stotles, alongside any other tools you have connected.

Data types

The whole public sector, one connection

Everything the Stotles platform knows, searchable from your own tools.

  • Notices

    Search open tenders, pre-tender signals and awarded contracts across UK procurement portals: what is being bought, who won it last time, what it cost and when it ends.

  • Organisations

    Look up any buyer or supplier: what a buyer buys and which contracts are coming up for renewal, and which buyers a supplier sells to, what it has won and where it competes with you.

  • Contacts

    Find the people behind a buyer: who runs procurement, who owns the budget, and who to talk to before a tender is published.

  • Spend

    See where a buyer's money goes: which suppliers it pays, how much and how often, and which spend has no published contract.

  • Documents

    Read the documents behind a notice or a buyer: specifications, award letters, strategies and plans.

  • Frameworks

    Find the frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems a buyer uses, who sits on them and when they expire.

Set up

Get connected in minutes

Claude and ChatGPT take the server URL and your Stotles login. For Copilot, Gemini Enterprise and other tools that don't support CIMD, generate a client ID and secret in Stotles in a couple of minutes.

  1. An Owner of your Claude workspace adds Stotles once, for everyone: Settings, then Connectors, then Organization connectors, then Add custom connector. Owner is a role in Claude, not in Stotles.

  2. Name it Stotles and paste the server URL.

    https://api.stotles.com/mcp
  3. Everyone else turns it on from their own Connectors settings and signs in with their own Stotles account.

  4. Start a chat and ask about a buyer, a tender or a framework. Claude picks the tool.

Prompts to get you started

Find

Find opportunities before the tender is published, in renewals, spend and buyer documents.

  • Surface early buying signals

    Which renewing contracts should be on our radar that haven't gone to tender yet? Check contract end dates, pre-tender notices, and published minutes, budgets and strategy documents.

  • Find off-contract spend

    Which buyers are paying our competitors but have no published contract with them? Rank them by spend over the last 12 months.

Qualify

Qualify opportunities by checking who holds the contract, what it cost and what the buyer wants.

  • Qualify open tenders

    Which open tenders close in the next 30 days? Qualify the best fit for us, who holds the current contract, what it cost, and what the buyer says they care about.

  • Build a buyer briefing

    Which buyer should we be prioritising right now, given what we sell? Brief me on what they've bought and from whom, and what their strategy and budget say they're planning next.

Action

Action a lead by reaching the right contact, drafting a first message and logging it in your CRM.

  • Reach the budget holder

    Which buyer has a contract we could win expiring next year? Find the email address of its likely budget holder and suggest an outreach message.

  • Send leads to your CRM

    Find the strongest recent buying signal for us in buyer documents, then add the buyer, their decision maker and the lead to my CRM, with a link to it in Stotles.

FAQ

Questions before you connect

The short answers. Anything else, ask us.

  • What is MCP?

    The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot call outside services. Stotles runs an MCP server, so once connected your AI tool can search Stotles data as part of answering your question.

  • Do I need a Stotles account?

    Yes. The MCP server uses your existing Stotles login, and it sees the same data you would in the app. Everyone who wants to use it needs their own paid Stotles account.

  • Can we control what our AI tool can do in Stotles?

    Yes, in your AI platform rather than in Stotles. Most business and enterprise plans let an admin choose which Stotles tools the assistant can use, so you can allow reads and block writes.

  • Can we roll this out to the whole team?

    Yes. An admin on your AI platform adds the Stotles connector once for the organisation, then each person connects it with their own Stotles login. Everyone sees exactly the data they'd see in the app and nothing more, so you don't need to manage permissions in two places.

  • Which AI tools does it work with?

    Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini Enterprise and any other tool that supports remote MCP servers. If your tool has an integrations or connectors setting that takes a URL, or a client ID and secret, it will work.

  • Where does the data come from?

    The same place the Stotles platform gets it: procurement notices, buyer documents and published spend data from public sources across the UK and Ireland, updated daily.
