# Insurance Renewal Comparison Pack (AU) — MCP (`armourylabs/insurance-renewal-comparison-pack`) Actor Standby MCP server: turns broker-supplied insurer quotes into a client-ready AU renewal comparison pack. Pay-per-event. - **URL**: https://apify.com/armourylabs/insurance-renewal-comparison-pack.md - **Developed by:** [Christopher Smith](https://apify.com/armourylabs) (community) - **Categories:** AI, Other, Developer tools - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $12,000.00 / 1,000 comparison-pack-generateds This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Insurance Renewal Comparison Pack Generator (AU) An MCP server that produces client-ready **Australian** insurance renewal comparison packs for SME brokers. Instead of spending 2–4 hours manually tabulating competing insurer quotes, the broker supplies the quotes as **structured data they already hold** and receives a formatted comparison report in seconds. No scraping, no third-party data source — extraction of what you provide, not acquisition. ### What it does | Tool | Description | |---|---| | `build_comparison_table` | Accepts a list of insurer quotes and returns a structured comparison table with headers, per-coverage rows, cheapest insurer, and metadata. | | `render_text_report` | Wraps `build_comparison_table` and renders a full plain-text renewal pack ready to paste into a PDF or email. | | `format_currency` | Formats a numeric value as an **AUD** string (e.g. `A$1,234.50`). | #### Coverage fields compared (AU lines) - Annual Premium (A$) - Standard Excess (A$) - Public Liability - **Workers Compensation** - Professional Indemnity - **Industrial Special Risks (ISR)** - Business Interruption - Legal Expenses ### Who uses it **SME insurance brokers** producing renewal comparison packs for commercial clients. The finished pack is emailed to the client, who then asks their broker for one every renewal — a natural referral loop. ### Two transports #### 1. Hosted — Apify Standby (the revenue path) Runs as an Apify **Standby actor**; clients connect over the **Streamable HTTP** transport at `/mcp`. Billing is **pay-per-event** (`comparison-pack-generated`): one charge per pack produced — never for `format_currency`, metadata, or errors. See `MONETISATION.md` (the per-event price is set by the founder at the Console, not in code). - Entrypoint: `apify_standby.py` · transport: `streamable_http.py` · logic: `server.py` - Health probe: `GET /` → `{"status":"ok"}`; MCP endpoint: `POST /mcp` #### 2. Local — stdio (dev / Claude Desktop) The same tools over stdio for local use: ```json { "mcpServers": { "insurance-renewal-comparison": { "command": "python3", "args": ["/path/to/server.py"] } } } ```` ### Example (Claude prompt) > "Build a renewal comparison pack for Acme Pty Ltd (ref: AC-2025, renewal 2025-08-01) using these three quotes: Aviva A$3,200 / Hiscox A$2,950 / AXA A$3,400. All have A$10m workers compensation. Add a note about the flood exclusion on the Aviva policy." Claude calls `render_text_report` and returns a formatted, client-ready document. ### Scope - Plain-text output only (no PDF/spreadsheet export). - **AUD** currency; **AU** coverage lines (Workers Compensation, ISR). - No data persistence — each call is stateless. - Coverage fields are fixed to the eight AU commercial lines listed above. ### Running tests ```bash pytest -q # 62 tests: server logic + JSON-RPC + Streamable HTTP + billing contract ``` ## Actor input object example ```json {} ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("armourylabs/insurance-renewal-comparison-pack").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
