EOL Hardware-to-Quote-to-Roadmap

Identify aging client hardware, draft create and publish a quote in Quoter to replace the devices, and create a corresponding Initiative on the clients roadmap in Lifecycle Manager.

Requires MCP4 toolsby Shay Mac · Sr Solutions Engineer

Needs an LLM client connected to ScalePad MCP — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf or similar. Without it the assistant cannot call the recipe's tools.mcp__scalepad__list_specs, mcp__scalepad__get_server_variables, mcp__scalepad__search_endpoints, mcp__scalepad__get_endpoint

User prompt

1 input to fill
For [CLIENT], find all hardware assets past end-of-life. Create a Hardware Refresh initiative, attach those assets, then build and publish a Quoter quote with a replacement line item for each device, and note the quote number on the initiative.

A reusable, client-agnostic process for identifying end-of-life hardware, creating a Lifecycle Manager initiative, building a Quoter replacement quote, and verifying the result.

This recipe describes the repeatable process for finding a client's end-of-life hardware, creating a Lifecycle Manager refresh initiative, attaching the selected assets, building and publishing a Quoter replacement quote, and recording the quote number back on the initiative.

It is intentionally client-agnostic. Replace value for <CLIENT_NAME>, with the records for the chosen customer(s).

The following workflow can be useful context for your chosen AI client as it captures decision rationale and observable execution steps; feel free to copy and paste it along with the prompt recipe.
