Which AI tools work with it?

Anything that speaks MCP over HTTP: Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and ChatGPT through its connector settings. Clients that only speak stdio bridge through mcp-remote.

Can a connected assistant change anything in my workspace?

No. Every tool is read only. The assistant can look at your pipeline and the notice mirror, and nothing else.

What can other people on my team see?

A key answers for the workspace it was created in, with the same data every member of that workspace already sees. Keys belong to the person who made them and can be revoked by that person anytime.

MCP server

Your contract pipeline, readable by the AI you already use

Captivaq ships an MCP server. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client with one API key, and it can query your matches, your deadlines, the incumbents you are up against and the values behind them, in plain English, without you opening a dashboard.

Things to ask once connected

“Which of my matches close this week?”
“Who is the incumbent on this contract, and what did the last award pay?”
“Any recompetes in NAICS 5617 expiring in the next six months?”
“Search sources sought notices in Texas from the last two weeks.”
“Summarize my pipeline. What needs a decision today?”

Connect in two minutes

Create an MCP key from Settings, then API keys, in your workspace. The key is shown once; it travels as a bearer header to https://app.captivaq.com/api/mcp.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http captivaq https://app.captivaq.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer cq_mcp_..."

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other config based clients

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "captivaq": {
      "url": "https://app.captivaq.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer cq_mcp_..." }
    }
  }
}

Clients that only support stdio

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "captivaq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://app.captivaq.com/api/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer cq_mcp_..."
      ]
    }
  }
}

In ChatGPT, add the server URL and key under connector settings in developer mode.
