We build real tools For people doing real work.

An independent AI laboratory designing human-first tools for the trades, lumber, concrete, and tourism industries. No workflows. No apps. Real tools, real work.

01The idea

AI promised 5X productivity. Most small businesses got a chatbot that writes mediocre marketing copy.

We make tools for the floor, the field, the shop, the site — the work you can point at.

If Canadian companies are going to bid Canadian work, understand Canadian supply chains, and protect Canadian industrial capacity, then the AI layer underneath that work matters.

We are building tools on Cohere first, and we build with Canadian sovereignty in mind.

Canadian AI security is Canadian national security.

02The MCP

workspaceAlberta

Our first offering is open and free. Describe yourself — your trade, your town, what you can do — and find real, live work you can go after today.

A Model Context Protocol server: a small tool any small business owner can use to find live federal and provincial contracts. We are giving it away, to begin building Canadian sovereign AI tools — together.

03Connect

Talk to it.

One hosted endpoint in a client config. No account. No local server. Then just ask, in plain language.

mcp · workspaceAlberta http

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workspaceAlberta": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Hosted on Cloud Run with a tight budget cap.

Not sure where that goes? Hand it to your assistant.

Copies a complete, plain-language setup brief. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Cline, or any MCP-capable assistant — it walks you both through connecting, and tells you what to ask once you are.

Preview what gets copied

You are helping me connect to "WorkspaceAlberta", a free hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that finds live Canadian public work: federal and Alberta tenders, trades, fabrication, and procurement opportunities.

WHAT IT DOES
Searches CanadaBuys (federal) and Alberta Purchasing Connection together, ranks opportunities against my business, lists deadlines, and drafts practical bid briefs. No account or API key needed.

HOW TO CONNECT — use the section that matches the app you are running.

[A] If you ARE an MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, VS Code, Zed, Windsurf, etc.), add this HTTP MCP server to my config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "workspaceAlberta": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://elbowsupknivesout.warreandvavasour.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Where that config lives, by client:
- Claude Desktop: Settings > Developer > Edit Config (claude_desktop_config.json). Paste the block, save, fully restart the app.
- Cursor: Settings > MCP > Add new server, or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Paste, save.
- Cline / Continue / Windsurf: open the MCP settings JSON and add the "workspaceAlberta" entry. Save, reload the window.
- VS Code / Zed: add the same server under the editor's MCP / context-server settings. Save, reload.
If your client uses the keyword "streamable-http" instead of "http" for the type field, use that instead.

[B] Direct / fallback endpoint (use if the friendly URL above is not resolving yet):
https://workspacealberta-719334491060.northamerica-northeast1.run.app/mcp

[C] If you CANNOT add MCP servers (e.g. a plain web chatbox), do NOT pretend to query it. Instead, tell me step by step how to install one MCP-capable client from list [A] and add the server above.

ONCE CONNECTED, good first questions:
- "I'm a [trade] in [town]. Find live public work I can bid this month."
- "List Alberta tenders closing in the next 10 days for [my capability]."
- "Does opportunity [reference #] fit a [my business] profile? Flag the risks."
- "Build me a daily bid brief for [my business]."

IMPORTANT: Always open and verify the original tender documents before bidding. This tool triages and summarizes; it does not replace the source posting.
