Create custom field definition MCP tool

Create a workspace custom field definition for pursuits. The field type (text, number, date, or dollar) is fixed after creation. Set values on individual pursuits with Create_Pursuit or Update_Pursuit custom_fields.

Examples

Definitions are workspace schema, so check Search custom field definitions first to avoid creating a duplicate. Choose the field_type carefully: it cannot be changed later. name accepts letters and spaces only, and custom fields always attach to pursuits.

  "arguments": {
    "name": "Contract Ceiling",
    "field_type": "dollar",
    "placeholder_text": "Enter the ceiling value"
  }
}

Create a required text field

  "tool": "Create_Custom_Field_Definition",

    "name": "Bid Decision",
    "field_type": "text",
    "required": true
  }

Create contact group

Create interest and request match

In one call, create a new teaming interest for the acting user on a specific teamable record (opportunity via its meta wrapper, federal contract IDV, federal contract vehicle, federal forecast, or federal contract award) and immediately request a match against an existing target interest on the same record. Use Request_Teaming_Match if you already have an interest on the record. Triggers async AI summary generation; for opportunity-based interests it may also notify potential teaming partners.
