What it does

RFP, DDQ, and security-questionnaire response-management platform with an approved-content library ("Library") and AI-assisted drafting grounded in that governed content.

AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it

MCP server explicitly grounds AI-generated draft responses in Responsive's approved Library content (with provenance/review metadata) rather than open generation - a genuinely governance-aware design distinct from a plain chatbot wrapper, though how the underlying retrieval/ranking works is not disclosed.

RevOps role

RFP/DDQ response layer for AI-agent workflows, notable for a rare, genuinely transparent usage-based MCP price sitting on top of an otherwise fully opaque enterprise platform.

Parsed URLs

3 found in the mcp_url field

The vendor ships and maintains the server itself. A wrapper built by Zapier, Composio or a similar third party does not count as official. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since.

Access gate

Gate bucket

Paid, self-serve

Can a solo operator reach it

Yes, by paying, no sales call

api_gate, verbatim from the file:

paid, separately metered from the core platform. Responsive's main platform is fully sales-led/custom-quote (four plans: Lite, Emerging, Growth, Enterprise; average reported spend ~$13,955/yr per third-party trackers, no public rate card). The MCP product itself has transparent usage pricing: $50/month plus $5 per 100 AI-generated answers.

API documentation

No documentation URL recorded.

263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank.

GitHub health

Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build.

The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale.

Jobs it can do

Draft an RFP or questionnaire response

A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records.

Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total.

Notes, verbatim from the file

Verify current URL/branding before publishing - Responsive was formerly RFPIO; responsive.io is the confirmed current primary domain used in official MCP docs.
