Everything you need to know about how Cleartrade connects AI agents to real businesses.
Why not just use Google or a supplier’s website?
An agent can read a website, but it can’t get a real, personalised price from one, most prices depend on the job. Cleartrade gives agents structured, supplier-managed data and a way to actually transact.
What about data that isn’t public?
Suppliers add private pricing rules, availability and instructions that only their agent logic uses to generate quotes, none of it has to live on a public page.
What if the answer isn’t available yet?
Cleartrade asks the supplier directly over the channel they already use, Slack, WhatsApp, SMS, and returns the answer to your agent as soon as they reply.
How hard is it for a business to manage its data?
It’s self-serve. Businesses upload a price list, add FAQs and agent instructions, and connect a payment method, no developers, set up in minutes.
Which AI agents does Cleartrade work with?
Any MCP-compatible client, including Claude Cowork, ChatGPT, Codex, OpenWebUI, out of the box.
How do trust, ratings and verification work?
MCP Community Administrators (or Private Server Owners) and moderate their own suppliers, with verified vendor tiers and ratings so buyers and agents can choose with confidence.
Is it free for buyers?
Yes. Buyers can use Cleartrade through their own AI agent at no cost or use the web interface for free. Businesses start free and pay as they win work.
