SCiMon.co RFQ Desk MCP

An official MCP server for the SCiMon.co RFQ Desk that allows AI agents to check sourcing capabilities, submit RFQs for custom parts and design services, upload technical drawings, and check the status of existing requests.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

SCiMon.co connects hardware buyers with pre-vetted design, manufacturing and box-build partners in Asia, Mexico and the USA. Use get_capabilities to see what can be sourced, check_rfq to find missing information, then submit_rfq to get an RFQ number. Upload drawings and STEP files with the upload links submit_rfq returns, or email them to rfq@scimon.co with the RFQ number in the subject. Quotes are EXW factory and the buyer places the PO directly with the supplier. Never send ITAR, EAR, CUI or other export-controlled technical data; for export-controlled work, email rob.moreland@scimon.co with a short non-technical description only.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http scimon-co-rfq-desk-mcp https://mcp.scimon.co/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add scimon-co-rfq-desk-mcp --url https://mcp.scimon.co/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable scimon-co-rfq-desk-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scimon-co-rfq-desk-mcp": {

    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start scimon-co-rfq-desk-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "scimon-co-rfq-desk-mcp": {
      "type": "http",

  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http scimon-co-rfq-desk-mcp https://mcp.scimon.co/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scimon-co-rfq-desk-mcp": {
