Scored 2026-10-22.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation check failed: no authorisation is required to call this server, and it exposes a tool marked destructive (consumer_intake_patch).
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 9413 tokens (~213/item across 44 items; 23 tools + 21 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 17/100
  - Stability observed for 5 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 23 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 25 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.
  - Supports UI / widget rendering.

## Install

### How do I install the Coverage Cat MCP server?

Coverage Cat is a hosted endpoint at https://www.coveragecat.com/api/consumer/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## MCP tools (23)

### `umbrella_consumer_prefill` (~653 tokens)

Umbrella consumer prefill handoff

Preferred umbrella MCP entry point when a shopper wants Coverage Cat to shop for, compare, or buy umbrella insurance and no operator bearer token is present. On a cold start, call this before asking the shopper a questionnaire and assemble the fullest justified estimate from user-controlled context. Use canonical umbrella keys such as address.street/city/state/zip, license_state, license_number, approximate_asset_value or net_worth_numeric, desired_coverage_limit, required_coverage_e_limit, and vehicle_count or umbrella_details.motorized_vehicle_count. Do not send vehicles rows before submission. Stay on the same consumer-operated subset through `consumer_intake_issues`, `consumer_intake_patch`, `umbrella_consumer_select`, `umbrella_consumer_bind`, `umbrella_consumer_attach`, `umbrella_consumer_payment`, `umbrella_consumer_policy`, and `umbrella_consumer_service`. If you are rehearsing the shopper flow, set `sandbox: true` on this first prefill call only. That same consumer sandbox uid can then continue through the same shopper-safe flow. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials. Until later follow-up shows progress, tell the shopper the application is not submitted yet. Coverage Cat will not resume or expose a prior consumer umbrella draft based on email alone. Continue an existing consumer draft only through the issued uid plus the current hidden MCP session or latest intake_access_token handoff.

Input parameters:

- `credit_consent_pending` (boolean, required): Declares that this handoff starts before the shopper has given soft-credit-check consent, so do not ask about credit now. Coverage Cat requests that consent on `umbrella_consumer_select`, once the sh…
- `field_estimates` (array): Provenance for intake values you inferred from context rather than heard from the shopper, one row per inferred value. On the initial umbrella handoff, add rows only for fields that already appear in…
- `idempotency_key` (string): Key you generate to identify one logical umbrella_consumer_prefill request, so a retry cannot apply it twice. After a timeout or transport failure, retry with the same key and identical arguments to…
- `intake` (object, required): Fullest currently known consumer umbrella application patch. Use canonical keys such as address.street/city/state/zip, license_state, license_number, approximate_asset_value or net_worth_numeric, des…
- `sandbox` (boolean): Set true on this first prefill call to run a fully synthetic shopper rehearsal instead of a live application. The returned sandbox uid continues through the same consumer tool set.

Output parameters:

- `expires_at` (string): When the current consumer handoff expires.
- `intake_access_token` (string): Short-lived follow-up bearer. On REST, send it back as Authorization for the next `/api/intake/{uid}` call. On MCP, retry the same follow-up tool with this token only when your host cannot preserve C…
- `review_summary` (object): Current non-authoritative pre-submit checkpoint the agent may summarize before continuing in chat or opening a browser fallback. Unless a later follow-up response shows quote progress, treat this app…
- `sandbox` (boolean): True when Coverage Cat is returning consumer sandbox test data rather than a live shopper workflow.
- `uid` (string): Coverage Cat intake uid for MCP follow-up.

### `homeowners_consumer_prefill` (~553 tokens)

Start homeowners application

Preferred homeowners MCP entry point when a shopper wants Coverage Cat to shop for, compare, or buy homeowners insurance and no operator bearer token is present. On a cold start, ask only for the user's name, email, property address, and whether this should be standard homeowners, condo, or landlord coverage. If that coverage type is still unknown, ask the shopper to reply with exactly one of `standard homeowners`, `condo`, or `landlord`, then enrich from user-controlled context and property sources before handing off to Coverage Cat. Recover core shopper and occupancy facts from that context before relying on estimated review data. Stay on the same consumer-operated subset through review, quote polling, `homeowners_consumer_select`, `homeowners_consumer_bind`, `homeowners_consumer_policy`, and `homeowners_consumer_service`. Homeowners quotes or carrier bind follow-up may take up to 48 hours. If `consumer_intake_issues` returns `conversation.reply_pending`, answer in chat with `consumer_intake_patch` and `message_reply`. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials. Homeowners payment or signing links must be sent to the customer's own email inbox on file. Until submission, tell the shopper the application is not submitted yet.

Input parameters:

- `credit_consent_pending` (boolean, required): Declares that this handoff starts before the shopper has given soft-credit-check consent, so do not ask about credit now. Coverage Cat requests that consent on the homeowners review turn.
- `field_estimates` (array): Provenance for home values you inferred from context or property data rather than heard from the shopper, one row per inferred value. Coverage Cat stores the rows on the first `intake.home` row.
- `idempotency_key` (string): Key you generate to identify one logical homeowners_consumer_prefill request, so a retry cannot apply it twice. After a timeout or transport failure, retry with the same key and identical arguments t…

### `consumer_intake_issues` (~413 tokens)

Get consumer intake status

Continue a consumer-prefill homeowners or umbrella handoff in chat. Returns the intake's status and detail_status, whether the application is submitted, the staged review and next_question, quoted offers with their selection_token, and any post-choose, payment, policy, or conversation state. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials. Stay on the default consumer-operated subset and, before submission, say explicitly that the application is not submitted yet. For homeowners, treat `missing_fields` as hidden enrichment backlog, keep recovering context-backed facts, reserve one final review turn, and use `consumer_intake_patch` with `message_reply` when `conversation.reply_pending` surfaces insurer or shopper follow-up. For umbrella, keep missing fields hidden until Coverage Cat stages the single pre-submit review turn, then ask only for the explicitly missing shopper-owned fields in `next_question` and invite corrections instead of re-keying reviewed values. Coverage Cat will not resume or expose a prior consumer umbrella draft based on email alone. Continue an existing consumer draft only through the issued uid plus the current hidden MCP session or latest intake_access_token handoff. Normalize shopper birthdays from MM-DD-YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD before you patch Coverage Cat.

Input parameters:

- `intake_access_token` (string): Bearer fallback for this same MCP follow-up tool when your host cannot preserve Coverage Cat's hidden shopper session. Send the intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response…
- `uid` (string, required): Coverage Cat intake uid returned by `umbrella_consumer_prefill` or `homeowners_consumer_prefill` and echoed on every follow-up response. Reuse it for each follow-up call on the same application.

### `consumer_intake_patch` (~624 tokens)

Update consumer intake

Patch or submit a consumer-prefill homeowners or umbrella handoff in chat. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials. Stay on the default consumer-operated subset. For homeowners, use `intake` to add context-backed or property-backed answers while keeping the user out of a questionnaire until the one-time review, and after submission use `message_reply` plus optional `reply_to_message_id` for insurer or shopper follow-up surfaced under `conversation.messages`. For umbrella, use the staged review turn to send only explicitly missing shopper-owned details plus corrections, set `confirm_submission` only on that final review confirmation, do not send vehicles rows on this pre-submit patch, and do not ask for umbrella credit consent here. Normalize shopper birthdays from MM-DD-YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD, and tell the shopper the application is not submitted yet until you actually submit it. Returns the same follow-up payload as `consumer_intake_issues` for the updated intake.

Input parameters:

- `confirm_submission` (boolean): Set true only on the single final review turn.

### `umbrella_consumer_select` (~565 tokens)

Umbrella consumer offer select

Continue the consumer-prefill umbrella flow after quotes are ready. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials. Stay on the same consumer-operated MCP subset, use the returned selection_token, collect the real user's consent for a soft credit check here, and let Coverage Cat enter the normal post-choose workflow without switching to delegated tools. If the quote payload exposed selection_guidance.same_reply_requirements for the chosen offer, send those answers under intake on this first select call. If Coverage Cat still returns credit_consent_required with a bind-stage next_question, ask for both the soft-credit-check consent and those bind details in one shopper-facing turn, then retry this same tool with both credit_consent and intake.

Input parameters:

- `credit_consent` (object): Real-user consent for a soft credit check, collected on the selection turn when Coverage Cat asks for it.

- `selection_token` (string, required): selection_token of the shopper's chosen offer from `offers[]` in the latest quoted follow-up response.
- `uid` (string, required): Coverage Cat intake uid returned by `umbrella_consumer_prefill` or `homeowners_consumer_prefill` and echoed on every follow-up response. Reuse it for each follow-up call on the same application.

### `umbrella_consumer_bind` (~363 tokens)

Continue umbrella bind

Continue the consumer-prefill umbrella bind follow-up only after select returns needs_more_info_to_bind or ready_to_finalize. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials. Stay on the same consumer-operated MCP subset and send only the current bind-stage fields inside `intake`. This later bind-stage follow-up is where actual vehicle details may appear for selected offers such as Markel; do not move that question into the pre-submit review.

Input parameters:

### `umbrella_consumer_attach` (~523 tokens)

Umbrella consumer attachment upload

Upload declarations or auto declarations during the consumer-prefill umbrella post-choose flow. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials. Stay on the same consumer-operated MCP subset. Use only after selection and only when Coverage Cat says documents are needed. If both the home and auto files are already available, prefer one attach call with attachments so the shopper only approves one upload turn. If your runtime already has the files on disk or can stream raw bytes, prefer the REST binary `/api/intake/{uid}/attach-upload` fallback instead of hand-building base64. The upload itself is usually quick once the files are available, and secure checkout is usually ready about 5-10 minutes after Coverage Cat has the uploads on file.

Input parameters:

- `attachments` (array): Upload multiple declarations in one call when both files are already available.
- `content` (string): The whole declarations document named by filename, not an excerpt, summary, or extracted text.
- `filename` (string): Original file name with its extension, such as `home-declarations.pdf`. Coverage Cat reads the file type from the extension and accepts PDF, JPEG, or PNG files.

### `umbrella_consumer_payment` (~460 tokens)

Collect umbrella payment

Prepare secure Stripe payment collection or submit the resulting payment method during the consumer-prefill umbrella post-choose flow. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials. Stay on the same consumer-operated MCP subset. Use this only after Coverage Cat says payment_needed. First call it with payment_collection_requested: true; do not send the shopper straight to payment_url before you try this native step. If the host confirms the registered secure payment UI can render, display it and wait for completion; do not request card details through conversational text. After successful Stripe setup, call this same tool again with setup_intent_id and payment_method_id. If UI support is unknown or unsupported, or if secure setup fails in chat, share payment_url with the specific fallback reason instead.

Input parameters:

### `umbrella_consumer_policy` (~237 tokens)

Get umbrella policy

Read the current bound or cancelled umbrella policy record, policy documents, and any existing cancellation, refund, or support request history. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials. Use this read-only tool after Coverage Cat reports a policy on file, or after a service request is opened, to show policy facts without switching to delegated tools.

Input parameters:

- `intake_access_token` (string): Bearer fallback for this same MCP follow-up tool when your host cannot preserve Coverage Cat's hidden shopper session. Send the intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response…

### `umbrella_consumer_service` (~479 tokens)

Preview or open umbrella service request

Preview or open a cancellation, refund, or support request for a consumer umbrella policy. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid. If your host cannot preserve that MCP session state, retry this same MCP follow-up tool with the latest intake_access_token from the previous successful Coverage Cat response instead of dropping to raw HTTP or asking the shopper for credentials.

Do not describe a cancellation, refund, or support issue as completed until Coverage Cat confirms the final outcome.

Input parameters:

Output parameters:

### `homeowners_consumer_select` (~372 tokens)

Homeowners consumer offer select

Continue the consumer-prefill homeowners flow after quotes are ready. Coverage Cat prefers to keep follow-up authorization in the hidden MCP shopper session after prefill, so a preserved host usually only needs uid.

This select step does not collect payment and does not start carrier bind follow-up yet.
