Frequently asked questions
Clearcover scores D+ on Supergood's API Report Card. Clearcover runs a partner-only API suite (Quote, Lead, Flow, Customer, Policy) gated to contracted distributors such as Experian and Goosehead. Policyholders get no API; policy, billing, and claims data live only in the app. No public sandbox, OpenAPI spec, or developer portal exists.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Clearcover is a Chicago-headquartered direct-to-consumer auto insurance carrier founded in 2016 that positions itself as 'the smarter car insurance choice,' built around a mobile-first customer experience and an API-first, embedded distribution model.
Financial Services (Auto Insurance Carrier / Embedded Insurtech), Target market is U.S. personal-auto insurance shoppers, with a strong secondary focus on embedded distribution partners (auto dealers and OEMs, banks and financial-services brands, independent insurance agencies, and comparison-shopping platforms like Experian's auto insurance marketplace). A driver visits clearcover.com or a partner site (e.g., Experian's insurance marketplace, a Goosehead agent's quoting platform, or a co-branded landing page), enters basic vehicle and driver information, and receives a bindable Clearcover auto quote.
Clearcover is licensed in roughly 19 states with ~$63M in Q2 2025 direct written premiums (down ~18% YoY) and has raised more than $560M in venture funding to date, reaching a $1B unicorn valuation in 2021.
Yes, Clearcover holds full personal-auto insurance records for its policyholders: vehicle and VIN data, named-driver and household composition, coverage selections and limits, premium and payment history, declarations pages and ID cards, claims files with FNOL submissions, AI-assisted photo damage estimates and payouts, plus driver's license numbers and other regulated PII pulled in during the quote and bind flow.

No public consumer-facing API, individual policyholders cannot programmatically retrieve their policy, declarations page, billing history, claims status, or documents outside the Clearcover mobile app. Partner APIs (Quote, Lead, Flow, Customer, Policy, SmartLink) are gated to contracted distributors with no public sandbox, OpenAPI/Swagger spec, webhooks, rate-limit documentation, status page, or changelog listed on third-party API directories.

Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Yes, via a managed API layer. Supergood builds REST APIs and MCP servers for authenticated enterprise web apps, so AI agents and internal tools can read and write data programmatically. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Clearcover MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Clearcover doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
