Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

quote
create_quote_request
Use after the person confirms the job description and asks to get quotes from local contractors. Saves a draft and returns a private link. The person opens the link and gives an email for receiving bids. BidCraft emails them an invite to track the bids; once they click it, BidCraft contacts local contractors on their behalf. Nothing is sent to any contractor by this tool. Leave out street addresses, names, emails, phone numbers and budgets.
get_quote_checklist
Use when someone wants quotes for building, repair or renovation work, or for property services such as land surveys and appraisals, in the United States. Returns the details contractors need so you can ask the person for them.

BidCraft — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can BidCraft do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_quote_request, get_quote_checklist. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is BidCraft working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 18 of 92 checks got a reply (19.6%), average response time 428 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists BidCraft as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect BidCraft?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does BidCraft need an API key?
No. BidCraft completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is BidCraft?
It answers our handshake in 428 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
