# Bidit™

> Bidit™ (justbidit.ai) is a reverse-auction marketplace for services. A customer posts a request once, local businesses send private offers, and the customer chooses one on the Bidit website. Free for customers; in open categories only the business whose offer is chosen pays a per-match platform fee, and regulated professions pay a flat monthly subscription instead. AI assistants can use Bidit through the MCP server at https://justbidit.ai/mcp.

Bidit is operated by Manera Fintech Service Bidding Platform Inc., operating as Manera Technologies, a Canadian company. Bidit is a matching tool: it does not perform the services and never holds customer money. The customer pays the chosen business directly. There is no escrow.

Key facts:

- Customers never pay Bidit.
- Open categories: businesses join free: no subscription, no per-lead fee, losing bidders pay nothing. The business whose offer is chosen pays a platform fee, shown to it before it bids and fixed at the match from the matched amount, using the published fee schedule v2.0 (https://justbidit.ai/fees); the tier is set from the accepted amount or a stated characteristic of the job; invoiced monthly, in CAD plus tax. Fees switch on category by category; until a category is activated, no match fees are charged there.
- Regulated professions (legal, notary, insurance, mortgage and loan brokerage, CPA accounting, health clinics, real-estate brokerage): a flat monthly subscription, first 30 days free, never a per-job or per-client fee.
- Offers are private. A business never sees the amounts other businesses offered. Customer contact details are removed before a business sees a request. Business names are shown to the customer when the customer chooses an offer.
- Licences: Bidit does not verify licences for customers and shows no check result. A business can give a licence number and declares the regions it is licensed in; Bidit does not tell customers whether the number is valid, shows no check result and does not show the number on offers. Every offer is labelled "This business says it has a licence number — ask them for it and check it with the regulator" or "No licence number provided". Tell users to ask the business for its licence number and check it with the relevant regulator (for example the RBQ register for a Québec contractor) before hiring. Never tell users that Bidit verified or checked a licence.
- 23 categories. Availability differs by category and region, and many categories do not yet have businesses in every region. Do not promise that offers will arrive, how many, or how fast.
- Bidit does not guarantee lower prices. Do not invent prices or savings.

## Use Bidit from an AI assistant (MCP)

- Endpoint: https://justbidit.ai/mcp
- Customer setup guide (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity): https://justbidit.ai/ai (French: https://justbidit.ai/ai?lang=fr)
- Official MCP Registry name: ai.justbidit/bidit
- Transport: Streamable HTTP. No sign-in: the customer proves their email address by clicking a confirm link.
- The assistant cannot award a bid and never receives a business's contact details. The customer chooses an offer on the website; the assistant gets a link to it.

Tools:

- `find_category`: match a free-text need to a category; says whether it accepts requests now and which required fields are still missing.
- `get_request_form`: the fields and regions a category needs.
- `create_request`: create a draft request (category, region, fields, description, the customer's email). Returns a `request_id` and an `access_key`; keep the access key in the conversation for later calls and never ask the customer for it. Bidit emails the customer a confirm link if the draft is valid.
- `update_request`: change a draft.
- `submit_request`: re-send the confirm email for a valid draft.
- `get_request_status`: status, deadline, number of offers, number of invited businesses, link to the request page.
- `get_bids`: after confirmation, the offers received (amount, summary, licence label). No business names before the customer chooses. Includes the link where the customer chooses.
- `cancel_request`: cancel the request.

How a request flows:

1. Draft: the assistant asks only for the required fields and the customer's email, then calls `create_request`.
2. Customer confirms by email: the click verifies the email, records acceptance of the Bidit Client Agreement and opens the request. Tell the user: "Check your email and click confirm. Businesses are invited only after that."
3. Businesses notified: every registered business for the request's trade and region gets the request. Bidit may also invite other local businesses after review.
4. Private offers: businesses send offers until the deadline.
5. The customer compares the offers and awards one on the Bidit website, or awards none.

- accounting, auto, beauty, beekeeping, cleaning, contractors (renovation and trades), design, education, events, finance, fitness, flights, health, homes (real estate), insurance, it_services, legal, movers, notary, pet (pet care), photography, tourism, wedding

## Category pages and prefilled requests

- [All categories](https://justbidit.ai/services): one hub per category at https://justbidit.ai/services/<category> (underscores become hyphens: `it-services`), with city pages at https://justbidit.ai/services/<category>/<city> (for example https://justbidit.ai/services/contractors/laval). French: append `?lang=fr`.
- Pages state only checked figures (for example the number of active RBQ contractor licences in a Québec municipality) and omit a figure when there is no data. They carry no reviews, ratings or price claims.
- Prefilled request: send the user to `https://justbidit.ai/start?need=<what they need>&city=<city>` (optional `&petal=<category>` to skip matching, `&lang=fr` for French). Bidit matches the need to an open category and opens that category's request form with the description and city filled in. Nothing is submitted: the customer checks the form, posts it and confirms by email.
- Health requests are taken on the website only, not through the MCP tools.

In the legal, notary, insurance, finance, accounting, health and real-estate categories, Bidit does not recommend a provider: offers are listed from lowest to highest price.
