  "summary": "Mercell Tendering has a vendor-declared integration path through ERP, Power BI and APIs, but no public buyer-side endpoint catalogue. Mercell presents Tendering as an end-to-end public-buyer platform for planning, sourcing, contract management and supplier oversight. The product overview lists integration with external systems, including ERP and Power BI, and names APIs as part of that unified platform. It tells buyers to import supplier data and invoicing data from an ERP. Public buyer-side authentication, protocol kinds and resource lists were not published on the opened pages. A JSON/XML API for monitoring-profile results exists as a premium Business Plus add-on on Mercell Bidding, a sibling product outside this record's write surface. This record is not Mercell Bidding, Doffin or TED. Vendor documentation does not settle first-party MCP ownership. No official SDK, CLI or computer-use probe was established.\n"
