For AI agents and builders

The supplier your agent can call

Cintra Supply runs a live MCP server your agent can call: submit an RFQ and a priced quote comes back from a real US distributor. Acceptance and ordering are built into the same endpoint and rolling out with design partners now. No auth to start.

The tools your agent gets

Five tools. One endpoint, from RFQ to order.

Built for ops agents, maintenance platforms, and procurement copilots that need a real supplier on the other end of the call.

get_supplier_capabilities

See what we supply

Categories, accepted inputs, and the quote-to-order flow, so your agent knows a request belongs here before it asks.

submit_rfq

Submit a parts list

Send lines or a BOM and get back an rfq_id. Non-binding, no charge. Your first order returns an account number for repeat recognition.

get_quote

Get the priced quote back

Poll until status is ready, then read the total and per-line pricing. Sourced and priced by a real distributor, not a scrape.

accept_quote

Accept and place the order

Accept a ready quote to create the order and a secure payment step. The buyer authorizes; the order is placed. Rolling out with design partners.

get_order

Track the order

Awaiting payment, paid, and fulfillment status, by order_id. Rolling out with design partners.

REST

No MCP client? Use the API

POST /api/quote with your lines. Machine-readable spec at /openapi.json.

RESOURCES

Ground your agent

Company facts at /company.json, citation guidance at /llms.txt, and a structured RFQ template at /rfq-template, and a full walkthrough in How an AI agent buys industrial supplies.

HUMANS

Same desk, either door

Everything your agent submits lands on the same quote desk buyers reach at /try or by email. One desk, two protocols.

Try it

Example prompts for your agent.

01

"Ask Cintra Supply what it supplies, then submit an RFQ for 24 cases of paper towels and 6 boxes of nitrile gloves, size L. Quote goes to ops@yourco.com."

02

"Check Cintra Supply quote <rfq_id> and summarize the line pricing and lead times once it is ready."

03

"We approved the total on Cintra Supply quote <rfq_id>. Accept it and give me the payment link and order id."

Commercial boundaries

Safe by default, for you and for us.

A quote is not a charge

submit_rfq and get_quote never move money. You see the priced total before anything is accepted.

The buyer authorizes the order

accept_quote requires explicit confirmation, and payment is completed by the buyer. An agent orders only what its principal has authorized it to buy.

Exact match by default

Alternatives are proposed only when a line explicitly allows them, and they come back clearly flagged, never silently swapped.

Real fulfillment behind it

Cintra Supply LLC is the distributor of record: one order, one invoice, nationwide delivery. Every order is checked before it ships.

FAQ

Direct questions builders ask us.

Can an AI agent place an order through Cintra Supply?

The quote loop is live for any agent today: submit_rfq, then get_quote for the priced quote. Acceptance and ordering, accept_quote and get_order, are built into the same endpoint and rolling out with design partners now. The buyer always authorizes the purchase and completes payment; a submitted RFQ on its own never charges anyone.

Does the Cintra Supply MCP server require authentication?

No auth is required to start. Point any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP at https://www.cintrasupply.com/mcp, then call submit_rfq, get_quote, accept_quote, and get_order. Repeat customers pass their account_number to be recognized.

Is there a REST alternative to MCP?

Yes. POST lines to /api/quote. The machine-readable spec is published at /openapi.json, and grounding resources are available at /company.json and /llms.txt.

What can agents request quotes for?

The same catalog our buyers use: MRO, janitorial and sanitation, packaging, safety and PPE, electrical and datacom, material handling, batteries, HVAC and plumbing, office, and IT hardware. Up to 500 lines per RFQ.

Will a submitted RFQ commit my user to anything?

No. Submitting an RFQ does not place an order, reserve inventory, or create a binding price or delivery commitment. Exact matches are assumed unless alternatives are explicitly permitted, and any alternatives come back clearly flagged.

Where this is going

Building an agent that needs to buy real things?

The quote loop is live for everyone. Acceptance, payment, and order tracking roll out over the same endpoint with a small number of design partners: maintenance and CMMS platforms, facilities and ops agents, and procurement copilots that want a supplier that answers machines.

  • Free to integrate, quotes are free
  • Real fulfillment behind the endpoint: one PO, one invoice, nationwide delivery
  • Every order is checked before it ships while the automation earns trust
