country
get_country
Get one country in Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America or North America: regulator (name, acronym, website, notes), currency, counts by class and ownership, verification status against the regulator register, market notes, and the full list of licensed insurers with register identifiers and source caveats. Counts by class count entities, not licences: every company appears once, under the class its register row records, and byClass sums to total. A regulator’s own per-class licence tally is broader and will not match. This complete result can be large. Prefer get_country_summary for market facts and list_insurers with country, limit and offset for bounded entity results.
get_country_summary
Get compact market facts for one country: regulator, currency, counts, verification and market notes, without its insurer rows. Counts by class count entities, not licences: every company appears once, under the class its register row records, and byClass sums to total. A regulator’s own per-class licence tally is broader and will not match. Accepts a country slug or ISO alpha-2 code. Use list_insurers with country for paged entity records.
insurers
list_insurers
List licensed insurers with optional filters and bounded pages (25 by default, at most 200). Filter by continent ("africa", "europe", "asia-pacific", "south-america", "north-america"), country slug (e.g. "malaysia"), class slug (e.g. "captive-risk-retention-group", "composite", "funeral-assistance", "general-non-life", "health-medical"), group type slug (e.g. "corporate-parent-captive", "domestic-private", "foreign-multinational", "mutual-cooperative"), parent group slug or verification level. Country filtering fetches only that market's full insurer records.
search_insurers
Search licensed insurance companies, reinsurers, takaful operators and insurance groups across Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and North America by name. Returns matching insurers, countries and groups with their slugs and links.
directory
get_directory_info
Get this edition’s dataset version, source dates, licence, coverage counts, endpoint URLs and filter vocabularies, plus compact country metadata. Use this to discover supported country, class, ownership, region and continent slugs before querying.
footprint
get_footprint
Licensed footprint: which legal entity of an insurance group is licensed in which country, with collected branches, EEA freedom-of-services passporting and GLEIF parents. Pass exactly one group slug (from list_groups, e.g. "allianz") for the country × entity matrix, or an insurer slug for that entity alone. Licence rows come from the directory registers; relationship enrichment comes from GLEIF and EIOPA. Null or empty enrichment means it has not been collected, not that no relationships exist.
group
get_group
Get one insurance group by slug: home market, type, continents and countries covered and every licensed entity in the directory.
groups
list_groups
List insurance groups with licensed entities in two or more countries across Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and North America, with their footprint.
iaigs
list_iaigs
List the Internationally Active Insurance Groups (IAIGs) in the IAIS public register with their group-wide supervisor and jurisdiction, and for each the directory groups, entities and countries it controls across Africa, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America and North America.
insurer
get_insurer
Get one insurer by slug, including its parent group, class, regulator, source basis, register identifiers (LEI, national ID) where available, notes, sibling entities in the same group, and the reviewed profile (website, social links, founding year, stock-exchange listings with tickers, and Wikidata id) where one has been collected.
regulators
list_regulators
List the insurance supervisory authority for every covered country: name, acronym, website, currency, notes and the register source used for verification. Returns all matches unless limit or offset is supplied; when paging, limit defaults to 25 and is capped at 200.
resolve
resolve_former_name
Resolve a company name that is no longer in use to the insurer listed today. Use this when a policy, certificate or older document names an insurer that does not appear in search_insurers — the company may have been renamed, merged or delisted. Returns what happened, when, and the current entity where one exists. A renamed, acquired, merged or transferred insurer keeps its licence, so its policies continue with the successor; only "failed" means the company failed.

Insurers Global — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Insurers Global do?
It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_country, get_country_summary, get_directory_info, get_footprint, get_group, get_insurer and 6 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 Insurers Global mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around insurers and country. 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 Insurers Global working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 149 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Insurers Global?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Insurers Global need an API key?
No. Insurers Global completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Insurers Global?
It answers our handshake in 149 ms on average, which is faster than 78% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
