If a tool disappears, we record the date.
provider
get_provider_reviews
Resolve a provider name, alias, or slug and retrieve its published review summary, Review Score contributors, original source metrics, qualifications, and full Markdown with citations. Unpublished or unavailable review records return found:false.
get_provider_score
Retrieve a published reliability assessment and Reliability Score for one provider. Provider aliases resolve to the canonical assessment. This is an editorial score for a stated role and scope, not an AM Best rating or a recommendation. Optional need runs a bounded editorial judgment over that assessment only.
search_provider_reliability
Search published Reliability Score assessments by query, status, and score range, and sort by name or displayed score. rubric=all sorts and filters by the combined score (the average of the Broker and Carrier & MGA scores, or the one a provider has).
search_provider_reviews
Search published provider reviews by query, Review Score range, and rating availability; sort alphabetically or by displayed Review Score. Scores equally weight eligible source ratings on a 10-point scale and use an approximate academic conversion for BBB grades. Use get_provider_reviews for source-level evidence.
ask
ask_spot
Generate a bounded answer from retrieved public evidence. Every readable factual statement is copied from validated evidence and linked to its source.
compare
compare_providers
Retrieve a published, sourced provider comparison. Provider aliases and reversed ordering resolve to the one canonical comparison. Optional coverage (for example "cyber", "D&O" or "workers comp") also lists each provider's published offering page for that line; per-coverage line comparisons are retired and their URLs redirect to the pair comparison. Optional need runs a bounded editorial judgment over that page only; it does not invent a ranking or a purchase recommendation.
knowledge
search_knowledge
Search published Spot pages and Spot's insurance research: industry pillars, vertical insurance guides and FAQs, provider profiles, comparisons, best-of provider rankings by coverage line and business type, provider reviews, Reliability Scores, rankings, and rating methodology, with deterministic lexical retrieval. Research results carry thegeneralaverage.com URLs.
page
get_page
Retrieve a complete published Spot page by canonical path or URL, including /industries, industry pillars and vertical guides at /industries/{slug}, their FAQs at /industries/{slug}/{question}, provider profiles, comparisons, best-of rankings at /best, /best/{line} and /best/{line}/{segment}, reviews, scores, rankings, and methodology. Industry pages include parent and vertical links; lists are complete even when the website collapses them. Drafts, customer-specific guides, submissions, and unknown paths are unavailable.
rankings
get_rankings
Retrieve the current published Reliability Score rankings. Broker scores and Carrier & MGA scores are ranked separately; the directory also shows a combined score, the average of the two. Partial scores and unrated assessments keep their qualifications. Use search_provider_reliability for provider, score, and status filters. Optional need runs a bounded editorial judgment over the published tables only.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Insurance Research Expert by Spot working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 86 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Insurance Research Expert by Spot as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Insurance Research Expert by Spot?
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 Insurance Research Expert by Spot need an API key?
No. Insurance Research Expert by Spot completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
Is Insurance Research Expert by Spot open source?
We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
