SecondAppraisal MCP server

Which MCP servers are SecondAppraisal's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.secondappraisal/total-loss-intakeverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under secondappraisal.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

What an agent can do with it

  • not sure · compare an insurer's total loss offer against similar vehicles for sale
  • not sure · document a totaled vehicle's market value with comparable sales
  • cannot · invoke the policy's appraisal clause and appoint an appraiser

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

  • Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: upload_valuation_report

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • submit_total_loss_intake

    Submit a vehicle owner's total-loss situation to SecondAppraisal on their behalf. Minimum: one of customer.phone / customer.email, your `agent` self-identification, and a `consent.attestation`. Returns a receipt with…

  • get_intake_status

    Fetch the current receipt for a submitted intake (status, confirm link while still confirmable, preliminary).

  • upload_valuation_report

    Attach the insurer's Market Valuation Report (CCC / Mitchell PDF) to a submitted intake. We parse it (vehicle, mileage, offer, insurer, loss date) and refresh the preliminary. Allow up to two minutes.

  • get_preliminary_estimate

    A no-commitment early market read for a vehicle: comparable listing prices near the customer (10th percentile / median / 90th), an odometer-adjusted mid, and the gap vs the insurer's offer. Not an appraisal. Nothing is stored about the…

  • get_state_total_loss_rules

    State-specific total-loss facts: threshold and method, whether an independent appraiser must be licensed there, whether third-party appraisals are allowed, statute citations, must-know rights, common pitfalls, and the consumer hotline.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "total-loss-intake": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://secondappraisal.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http secondappraisal https://secondappraisal.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://secondappraisal.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
