Vendor: responsive.io · entry id 13-responsive · source 13-proposals-deals.md line 147

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.

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 by hand on 2026-08-24. On 2026-09-04 the recorded URL served a documentation page, not an MCP endpoint. That is where to read about the server, not where to connect to it. An agent needs the second.

mcp_status, verbatim from the file:

What this server exposes

Not harvested yet. Unmeasured, not empty: nobody has read this server's tool list, so this page says nothing about what it exposes.

141 of the 741 entries that record an official or community MCP server carry a harvested tool list. The other 600 are unmeasured, which is not the same as empty. Harvest last run 2026-09-27. The full roll up is on the tools index.

Command line

No CLI found by the 2026-09-27 harvest across vendor docs, npm, PyPI, Homebrew and GitHub. That is a probe result, not proof of absence.

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.

727 of 1252 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.

On GitHub

No GitHub organisation could be tied to responsive.io with evidence on 2026-09-08.

Recorded by the harvest: github candidates were seen but none passed the evidence rules.

5 candidate accounts seen and rejected by the evidence rules: responsively-org, responsivedev, ResponsiveImagesCG, goresponsive, ResEnv. A name match alone is never accepted; the account has to point at the vendor domain.

Jobs it can do

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 56 job vocabulary. 271 of 1,252 entries carry at least one tag; 849 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. 2026-09-07: LAW 1 FLAG, NOT DOWNGRADED. What the official claim actually rests on: a vendor capability page and a Microsoft-certified connector, neither of which is a repo or a callable endpoint. The finder searched GitHub ("Responsive mcp" and "RFPIO mcp", owners responsive-io, responsiveio and rfpio), npm, PyPI and the official registry and probed https://mcp.responsive.io/ and /mcp with no result. A human should decide whether official survives law 1.
