How to connect EstimateOne to Claude Code, ChatGPT and any AI agent

Yes, Claude, ChatGPT and other AI agents can work in your EstimateOne account. EstimateOne's External API is read-only, partner-only and returns Speci-finder matches. Cotlet.dev connects your own signed-in EstimateOne account to any AI agent, so the AI finds, sorts and tracks tenders for you.

Questions from EstimateOne users

Does EstimateOne have an API?

EstimateOne has an External API for partner software: read-only, set up by EstimateOne per customer, returning Speci-finder matches. Cotlet.dev works in your own EstimateOne account, so your AI agent can do more without partner access.

Is there an EstimateOne connector for ChatGPT or Claude?

EstimateOne has no connector of its own for ChatGPT or Claude. Cotlet.dev adds one to both.

How do I connect EstimateOne to ChatGPT?

Add Cotlet.dev as an app in ChatGPT (Settings → Apps, connector URL https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1), sign in to EstimateOne once in your Cotlet.dev Cloud Browser, and ask ChatGPT in plain words. No code and no EstimateOne API key.

Is there a way to use Claude with EstimateOne?

Yes. In Claude Code run the one-line claude mcp add command above; in the Claude app add https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as a custom connector. Claude then works in your own EstimateOne account.
