# Connect Qualified Bid with Codex

Instructions checked 1 Oct 2026.

Choose your assistant: [Claude](https://qualifiedbid.qualifiedcapacity.com/setup/claude.md) | [ChatGPT](https://qualifiedbid.qualifiedcapacity.com/setup/chatgpt.md) | [Codex](https://qualifiedbid.qualifiedcapacity.com/setup/codex.md)

## Check your setup

Sign in to the desktop app and open a local Codex chat. Open Settings → MCP servers to follow this guide. The linked OpenAI instructions call the desktop application ChatGPT. For ChatGPT on the web, use the ChatGPT guide. Your organization may control access to MCP servers.

## Connect

A connector links Qualified Bid to your assistant. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the connection protocol.

Name: Qualified Bid

MCP server URL: https://mcp.qualifiedcapacity.com/mcp

1. Open Settings → MCP servers → Add server.
2. Name the server Qualified Bid. Choose Streamable HTTP and paste the connector address into the server URL field.
3. Save the server and select Restart when offered. Return to MCP servers and select Authenticate for Qualified Bid.
4. Complete the Qualified Bid sign-in. Keep the server enabled. In the chat composer, enter /mcp to check that it is connected.

### Using Codex in your code editor?

Open the gear menu → MCP servers → Add server. Use Qualified Bid, Streamable HTTP and the same address. Save, choose Restart extension, then Authenticate.

### Using Codex in your terminal?

Run these two commands in your terminal, completing sign-in when prompted:



```sh
codex mcp add qualified-bid --url https://mcp.qualifiedcapacity.com/mcp
codex mcp login qualified-bid
```

Start Codex and use /mcp to check the connection. Then send the first conversational prompt below.



## Sign in and start

Use your Qualified Bid work email and the six-digit emailed code. Use the same work email across assistants.

Open a chat on the same computer and send the first prompt below. Use /mcp to check the connection. Return to MCP servers to authenticate when prompted.

First prompt: Using Qualified Bid, get me started.

You can research opportunities without a company profile. For tailored recommendations, start with your company name or a description of your work. Add your website or files if useful; a Unique Entity ID (UEI) is optional. Review and confirm your profile before matching starts.

If you already have a company profile, continue with that company. To request matches, ask: Using Qualified Bid, what can I bid on?

## Help

If setup controls are missing, check your account’s connector access and ask your workspace administrator to enable or add Qualified Bid. For sign-in problems, return to connector settings and authenticate with your work email, then select Qualified Bid in your chat.

Each assistant needs its own connection. Use the same Qualified Bid work email and select your existing company profile.
