description: >-
  Stotles is a B2G (business-to-government) public sector procurement and sales
  intelligence platform for the UK and Ireland. It aggregates procurement
  notices, contract awards, framework agreements, buyer spend history, and
  verified decision-maker contacts from public sources such as Find a Tender,
  Contracts Finder, Digital Marketplace, TED, and Public Contracts Scotland,
  then layers tender discovery, market intelligence, AI-assisted bid
  qualification (Bid Studio), account targeting (Sales Studio), and pipeline
  management on top so suppliers can find, qualify, and win government
  contracts. Delivered as a SaaS web application at app.stotles.com, and — since
  2026 — as a programmable surface: the Stotles Public API is a documented
  OpenAPI 3.1.0 REST service at api.stotles.com/v1 covering notices, buyers,
  suppliers and framework agreements, alongside a hosted Model Context Protocol
  server at api.stotles.com/mcp that brings the same market data into AI chat
  tools and agents. Both authenticate with a static x-api-key header; keys are
  issued by a Customer Success Manager rather than self-serve, and MCP access is
  in beta behind a waitlist.

    The PRODUCT has a free, self-serve tier (£0/month, "Get started") and
    published list prices. The API does not: no pricing tier mentions API
    access, keys are "issued by Stotles — ask your Customer Success Manager",
    the API CTA is "Book a call" and the MCP CTA is "Join the waitlist". API
    access is an entitlement of a commercial relationship, not a purchase.

  description: >-
    Hosted, remote Model Context Protocol server exposing Stotles public sector market data to AI chat
    tools and agents. Streamable-HTTP transport at api.stotles.com/mcp, authenticated with the same x-api-key
    header as the REST API. Described by Stotles as letting teams "explore the market in natural language
    and pull the insights they need without leaving their tools". In beta behind a public waitlist; tools/list
    is auth-gated, so the live tool schemas require an issued key.

# DELIBERATELY NOT EMITTED (2026-08-14) — each of these was checked and genuinely missed.
# Emitting the pointer anyway would credit Stotles with a surface it does not serve:
#   WellKnown / SecurityTxt — every /.well-known/ path 404s on all four hosts
#                             (probe record: well-known/stotles-well-known.yml)
#   Security                — no security.txt, no bug bounty, no disclosure contact;
#                             the site footer's /security link itself returns 404
#   StatusPage              — status.stotles.com does not resolve; stotles.statuspage.io
#                             redirects to Atlassian's marketing site
#   ChangeLog               — www.stotles.com/changelog is an unpopulated Webflow template
#                             (changelog/stotles-changelog.yml)
#   SDKs                    — no API client library in any registry, in any language
#                             (packages/stotles-packages.yml)
#   Idempotency             — N/A: all 8 operations are GET, so there is no write to protect
#   AgentCard               — /.well-known/agent-card.json and /agent.json 404 on all hosts
#   AsyncAPI / Webhooks     — no event, streaming or webhook surface is published

    Corrected a false negative. The 2026-07-21 round recorded "no public developer API is
    published"; STEP 0b contract discovery against the API HOST ROOT found a live OpenAPI 3.1.0
    (8 operations, RFC 9457 errors, cursor pagination) and a remote MCP server. Ownership verified:
