Hire your next vendor through your AI.

Model Context Protocol servers for Scope.bid vendor dispatch across legal, insurance claims, and AEC services.

scope.bid | MCP Registry | npm | Plugin marketplace

What this is

Three Model Context Protocol servers that let AI assistants dispatch vendor requests to credentialed human vendors and receive bids back inside ten minutes.

@scope-bid/scope-mcp - legal vertical (court reporters, IMEs, records, experts, e-discovery, translation, mediators, trial graphics, foreign-jurisdiction counsel, more)
@scope-bid/scope-claims-mcp - insurance claims (IMEs, surveillance, peer review, voc rehab, life-care plans, defense medical record review)
@scope-bid/scope-aec-mcp - AEC (subcontractor prequal, bonding, safety records, dispatch)

Scope.bid is the first vertical-services MCP platform on Anthropic's official Model Context Protocol Registry. Three namespaces are claimed under DNS-verified bid.scope/* (legal, claims, AEC). Two are reserved (healthcare, pharma).

Scope.bid is not affiliated with scope-bid.com, an unrelated laboratory equipment auction platform.

Install

Terminal

npm install -g @scope-bid/scope-mcp
npm install -g @scope-bid/scope-claims-mcp
npm install -g @scope-bid/scope-aec-mcp

For most clients you do not need to install globally. Use npx -y @scope-bid/scope-mcp directly from your MCP client config.

Configure (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor)

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scope-legal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scope-bid/scope-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCOPE_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    },
    "scope-claims": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scope-bid/scope-claims-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SCOPE_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

For read-only demo usage the token is optional.

Or use HTTP transport (no install)

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scope-legal": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://scope.bid/api/mcp/legal",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer your-token-here" }
    }
  }
}

Tools

Legal (bid.scope/legal):

scope_dispatch_matter - send a matter to vendors and get live quotes
scope_briefing - daily briefing across all open matters
scope_get_matter, scope_list_matters, scope_list_categories, scope_list_vendors, scope_list_roster
scope_set_vendor_tier, scope_remove_from_roster, scope_award_matter
scope_roster_audit, scope_vendor_health, scope_spend_rollup, scope_credential_alerts
swp_clarify, swp_accept, swp_reject, swp_session_status - Scope Work Protocol tools for existing negotiation sessions (the session-opening tools were retired at the rate-card cutover and are no longer served)

Claims (bid.scope/claims): IME routing, surveillance coordination, defense medical record review, life-care planning, voc rehab routing, roster audit, credential alerts.

AEC (bid.scope/aec): subcontractor dispatch, prequalification, bonding capacity, safety record pulls, AEC vendor listing.

Environment variables

SCOPE_API_BASE - override the default API base. Defaults to https://scope.bid.
SCOPE_API_TOKEN - bearer token for write operations.
SCOPE_ORG_SLUG - pin reads and writes to a specific buyer organization. Useful for multi-tenant deployments.

Plugin marketplace alternative

If you want bundled slash commands and skills along with the MCP server registration, install the plugin marketplace instead:

Code

/plugin marketplace add github.com/scope-bid/scope-platform
/plugin install scope-legal

Evals

Five canonical scenarios protect against regressions in MCP tool behavior.

Run locally against mocks:

Terminal

npm run eval

Run against the live Anthropic API with MCP tools attached:

Terminal

npm run eval:live

Add a new scenario any time a tool or skill ships that creates a new failure mode. Fixtures live in tests/evals/fixtures/, mocked tool responses in tests/evals/mocks/, runner in tests/evals/runner.ts. CI runs the mocked harness on every PR via .github/workflows/eval.yml.

Version bumps

When updating package.json version in any package directory, also update the matching server.json version. CI auto-syncs as a safety net but committed files should stay aligned for repo hygiene and local-publish testing.
