}qlows MCP - Tender Search & RFP Response
Find public tenders in 35 Countries (WTO-GPA Zone) and ground your AI while responding to RFPs
Bring your liveqlowsRFP/bid deals — and the public tender corpus across 35 WTO-GPA countries — into Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, or anyModel Context Protocolclient.
qlows-mcpis a tiny local connector. It runs on your machine as a stdio MCP server and securely proxies tool calls to the qlows API (https://app.qlows.com). It stores nothing but your token, contains no backend logic, and isread-only— your AI can pull deal context, never write back.
Quotes. Flows. Close.qlows preps the bid; your AI drafts from real, grounded context. Learn more athttps://qlows.com.
One-click install for the common clients (or copy the JSON snippet below):
# 1. Connect your account (opens the browser, you paste a token back) npx @qlows/mcp login # 2. Verify it works npx @qlows/mcp test # → prints the available tools # 3. Print the snippet for your AI client npx @qlows/mcp config
Then add qlows to your client (example:Claude Desktop,~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{ "mcpServers": { "qlows": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@qlows/mcp"] } } }
Restart the client. If you didn't runlogin, pass the token instead:
{ "mcpServers": { "qlows": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@qlows/mcp"], "env": { "QLOWS_TOKEN": "qlw_live_…" } } } }
You'll need a qlows account to mint a personal token (free tier works for tender search). Sign up + mint athttps://app.qlows.com/mcp.
- "Use the qlows MCP to list my open deals, then summarize the top 3 risks in the most urgent one."
- "Search public tenders for Zero-Trust networking in the EU closing in the next 30 days, and give me the qlows link for each."
- "Read the deal<deal-id>from qlows and draft the Technical Approach section, grounding every claim in the compliance items and our approved answers."
All tools areread-only. Personal-data tools need a personal token; the tender tools also work on a free account.
Plus threeprompts(slash-commands) —find_matching_tenders,draft_rfp_section,weekly_pipeline_review— seeSkillsbelow.
The connector discovers toolsand promptslive from the server, so new qlows capabilities appear without updating this package.
Three things qlows is built to do inside your AI. Each maps to aprompt(a slash-command your client exposes) plus the read-only tools it drives — all grounded in real qlows data, never invented.
Prompt:find_matching_tenders(args:industry, optionalcountry, optionaldeadline_within_days). Drivessearch_tendersand returns each live notice with its canonicalqlows_url. Full context:https://qlows.com/platform/qlows-mcp.
"Find open zero-trust networking tenders in Germany closing in the next 30 days, with the qlows link for each."
Prompt:draft_rfp_section(args:deal_id,section). Pulls the deal's compliance grid and approved answers viaget_deal_snapshot+search_compliance_items, then drafts the section with every claim traced to source — no fabricated capabilities, dates, or past performance.
"Draft the Technical Approach for deal<id>, grounded in the compliance items and our approved answers."
Prompt:weekly_pipeline_review(no args). Useslist_deals+get_q_routing_stateto produce a prioritized to-do list: what's due, what's blocked, and the next action per deal.
"Review my qlows pipeline and tell me which bids need attention first."
The public tender skills work on a free account; the deal skills need a personal token. See thefull platform overview.
- QLOWS_TOKEN— API token (overrides the stored one).
- QLOWS_BASE_URL— defaults tohttps://app.qlows.com; point athttp://localhost:3000for local testing.
MCP client (Claude/Cursor) ⇄ qlows-mcp (stdio, local) ⇄ https://app.qlows.com/api/mcp/<token>/rpc
The connector is a transparent JSON-RPC proxy. It does not implement tools — it forwardsinitialize,tools/list,tools/call,prompts/, andresources/to the qlows server and relays the responses. The token travels in the request to qlows over HTTPS; treat it like a password.
- No qlows token found— runqlows-mcp login, or setQLOWS_TOKEN.
- Token missing, invalid, or expired— the token was revoked or expired; mint a new one athttps://app.qlows.com/mcpand re-runlogin.
- Rate limit exceeded— 60 requests/min per token; wait and retry.
- Client doesn't seeqlows— restart the client after editing config; validate the JSON (a stray comma silently breaks it); check the client's MCP logs.
Verify end-to-end with theMCP Inspector:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx @qlows/mcp
- Read-only: no tool writes back to your qlows account.
- The connector stores only your token, locally, at~/.qlows/config.json(permissions0600). It collects no telemetry.
- Tokens are SHA-256-hashed at rest on the qlows server and can be revoked instantly athttps://app.qlows.com/mcp.
- Privacy policy:https://qlows.com/privacy
- One-click browser auto-captureforlogin(loopback callback).
- Desktop Extension (.mcpb)bundle for a true one-click Claude Desktop install (the badge above links to setup docs in the meantime).
- Anthropic Connector Directorylisting — the OAuth 2.1 + PKCE endpoint is live on the qlows server; directory submission is tracked as a follow-up.
npm install npm run build QLOWS_TOKEN=… QLOWS_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000 node dist/index.js test
