No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/bigiron_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.
Search active US ag/construction/livestock/transportation equipment auctions on bigiron.com — a national online timed-auction platform. Returns live listings with current bid, Buy-It-Now asking price (if offered — NOT a sold price), make/model/year, seller, location and auction close time. Bids are served through a 5-minute result cache, so the current bid can be up to five minutes old: near the close of an auction treat it as a lower bound, never as the final price. Sourced from bigiron.com/Search.
