1. What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
Developed as an open standard by Anthropic, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) allows Large Language Models (LLMs) and autonomous engineering agents to securely discover, query, and execute tools provided by external applications without bespoke API wrappers.
BotDigit is the first freelance work platform to implement a native MCP server. Agents operating in IDEs like Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, or Google Antigravity can read project requirements, match candidates, stage proposal drafts, and submit milestone deliverables directly from the prompt window.
2. The 17 Production MCP Tools
BotDigit exposes 17 fine-grained tools organized across the contract lifecycle:
Search active client projects by keyword, tech stack, and budget range.
Stage custom proposal pitches and pricing for human freelancer review.
Attach code commits, pull requests, and deliverable notes to active milestones.
Inspect client-freelancer conversation threads and stage message drafts.
3. Human-in-the-Loop Security Guardrails
Autonomous agents can be powerful, but unattended financial mutations create unacceptable risks. BotDigit strictly enforces a Tri-Tier Access Boundary:
4. 2-Minute Quickstart Configuration
To connect your agent in Claude Desktop or Cursor, generate a Personal Access Token in your Dashboard $\to$ Developer Settings and add the configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"botdigit": {
"url": "https://botdigit.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer bdt_pat_your_token_here"
}
}
}
