Link for technology partners

Put submittal documents inside your product

Link uses MCP, the open standard AI agents use to call tools. Connect your software or your agent to Link and your users can get manufacturer documents, each with its source and review status, and you don't have to build a library of your own.

  • Uses MCP, an open standard
  • Each request names the user it is for
  • 600+ manufacturersin the library today
  • 44,000+ documentseach marked approved, reviewed or needs review

Who connects

For the software your users already work in

Construction software

Project management, document control and submittal tools. Your users can pull a product's documents into the submittal they're working on without leaving your product.

AI agents and copilots

If your assistant already calls tools, Link adds five more. When somebody asks about a product, it answers with the real files and a manifest instead of a guess.

Estimating and procurement

When a product goes on a bid or a purchase order, its product data and safety data sheet can go with it from the first line item.

The tools

Six tools your agent can call

These are the same six tools contractors use in Claude and ChatGPT. Lookups are free and answer right away. A build runs on its own and gives you a job id to collect it with.

  • search_products

    Finds a product by free text, manufacturer or model, and shows the document kinds on file for each match.

  • list_documents

    Everything we have for one product, with each file's review standing, its issue date and where it was found.

  • build_submittal_documents

    Puts exactly the kinds your user asked for into one set of submittal documents. It needs the manufacturer and the product.

  • get_submittal_documents

    Collects the finished job. You get a manifest of every document and its source, plus a short download link that works for 90 days and saves the PDF under the manufacturer and product name.

  • get_document_text

    Reads a document's page text, a few pages at a time, when your user asks what it says. It's free.

  • read_drawing_schedules

    Reads the schedules on a drawing set, every division, and returns each row with its tag, make, model, quantity and sheet. Enterprise plan.

How partnering works

How we get you connected

Every integration starts with a conversation, because the right setup depends on who your users are and how they work. Once we know what you're building, we send you the connection details.

Tell us what you are building
  1. 1

    Tell us what you are building

    Tell us about your product, your users and where submittal documents fit in their day.

  2. 2

    Get connected

    We set up a partner account and send the connection details for your MCP client.

  3. 3

    Build and test

    You call the tools against the live library with a test account before anything reaches a user.

  4. 4

    Launch

    Each request names the user it is for, and their documents arrive inside your product.

Security

How Link handles your users' data

Link doesn't hold any project data. Your integration gets document details and links, and a document's page text when it asks to read one. It never gets the contents of a user's project. Each download link works for 90 days. Your integration holds a partner key, and every request names the user it's for, so each request is tied to a person.

Link privacy
  • No project data
  • Every request names its user
  • Expiring links
  • Source cited

Questions

Questions from technology partners

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting AI applications to outside tools and data. Claude and ChatGPT both use it, and so do a growing number of agent frameworks. If your product can act as an MCP client, it can call Link.

Does Link work outside Claude and ChatGPT?

That's what this program is for. Link is a standard MCP server, so an MCP client can connect with the partner key we give you. We test each partner's client with them before launch.

How is usage counted?

The same way it's counted everywhere else Link runs. Lookups are free. Building submittal documents draws on the allowance of the account it runs under, and no new build starts once that allowance is used. For partner volume, we agree terms with you directly.

Do you see our users' project data?

No. Link receives the manufacturer and product your integration names, and returns documents from the library. Nothing about the project around that request is stored.

Who do we talk to?

Email support@sub-pro-ai.com with your company, your product and what you want Link to do for your users. You'll hear back from a person, usually our founder.
