Coverage Cat missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 23

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

umbrella
umbrella_calculator
Research-only estimate of annual personal umbrella pricing bands, the inferred risk class, and per-factor impacts for directional pricing. Use this for price exploration, not when the shopper wants Coverage Cat to shop for or buy umbrella insurance.
umbrella_consumer_attach
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.
umbrella_consumer_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.
umbrella_consumer_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.
umbrella_consumer_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.
umbrella_consumer_prefill
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.
umbrella_consumer_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.
umbrella_consumer_service
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. Stay on the same consumer-operated MCP subset after bind. Preview the consequences first, then send confirm_request: true only after the shopper approves opening the request. Do not describe a cancellation, refund, or support issue as completed until Coverage Cat confirms the final outcome.
homeowners
homeowners_agent_finder
Find licensed homeowners insurance agents near a ZIP code using state department of insurance licensing data. California searches return agents within 75 miles, nearest first; Texas searches return agents in the same ZIP. ZIP codes in other states return an empty agents list alongside supported_states. Each agent record includes name, agency, license, lines, location, contact details, and source links.
homeowners_consumer_bind
Confirm the previewed homeowners offer after `homeowners_consumer_select` returns `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. Reuse the returned preview_token, set bind_confirmed: true, and stay on the same consumer-operated follow-up tool set. Coverage Cat cannot collect homeowners payment in chat; any carrier payment or signing link is emailed to the customer's email on file.
homeowners_consumer_policy
Read the current bound or cancelled homeowners 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.
homeowners_consumer_prefill
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.
homeowners_consumer_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. 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, and let Coverage Cat stage the exact selected offer for one final bind approval in chat. This select step does not collect payment and does not start carrier bind follow-up yet.
homeowners_consumer_service
Preview or open a cancellation, refund, or support request for a consumer homeowners 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. Stay on the same consumer-operated MCP subset after bind. Preview the consequences first, then send confirm_request: true only after the shopper approves opening the request. Do not describe a cancellation, refund, or support issue as completed until Coverage Cat confirms the final outcome.
docs
docs_get_resource
Read one Coverage Cat docs resource by URI from the default consumer MCP and return its URI, public href (null when it has no public page), MIME type, and full markdown, JSON, or YAML text.
docs_list_topics
List Coverage Cat documentation topics from the same consumer MCP connection and return each topic's title, category, URI, MIME type, summary, and public href.
docs_search
Search quickstart, auth, sandbox, OpenAPI, and runtime skill docs on this consumer MCP connection. Topics are ranked by how many query words appear in their title, summary, URI, or category; each match carries its title, category, URI, MIME type, summary, and public href, and an empty matches list means no topic contains any query word. Pass a match's uri to docs_get_resource to read it.
consumer
consumer_intake_issues
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.
consumer_intake_patch
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.
auto
auto_estimates
Estimate monthly auto premiums for one driver and vehicle profile across several carriers. Returns each carrier's id, name, and monthly premium spread (lowest, lower, median, upper, and highest modeled premium) in US dollars, plus the normalized inputs the model used. These are model estimates for research, not bindable quotes.
collision
collision_and_comprehensive_coverage
Estimate what collision and comprehensive coverage cost for one driver and vehicle profile, to help decide whether to carry them. Returns monthly premium spreads in US dollars with no physical-damage coverage, collision only, and both, plus collision-only and both after one claim, and cumulative premium projections for each coverage option over projection_years. These are model estimates, not bindable quotes.
file
file_a_claim
Estimate whether filing an auto collision claim costs more than paying for the repair yourself. Returns monthly premium spreads with and without one claim, the monthly and multi-year premium increase, the collision deductible, the total cost of filing (deductible plus premium increase), and a file_claim or pay_out_of_pocket recommendation with the estimated savings. These are model estimates, not carrier quotes.
home
home_calculator
Estimate annual and monthly home insurance ranges for a California property and return the normalized inputs, available risk-factor ids, and ZIP-level context notes that explain the estimate.

Coverage Cat — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Coverage Cat do?
It exposes 23 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: auto_estimates, collision_and_comprehensive_coverage, consumer_intake_issues, consumer_intake_patch, docs_get_resource, docs_list_topics and 17 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Coverage Cat mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around umbrella, homeowners and docs. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Coverage Cat working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 616 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Coverage Cat?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Coverage Cat need an API key?
No. Coverage Cat completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 23 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Coverage Cat?
It answers our handshake in 616 ms on average, which is faster than 18% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
