## Description

You can stop manually cross-referencing repair quotes with policy documents. This MCP handles the heavy lifting of automotive insurance claims by acting as a decision engine for repair logistics. When you feed your AI client multiple estimates, it checks them against policy limits, deductible requirements, and parts preferences to find the best fit. It doesn't just look at cost; it verifies if a shop is actually authorized under the current policy and checks if the proposed repair timeline works with when the vehicle is actually available. Once the best option is identified, the MCP generates a step-by-step execution plan so you can move straight to booking. It turns fragmented data from shops and adjusters into a single, actionable sequence.
