## Which one, for what

### Make API + MCP (C)

Good for: Teams who build in a visual editor and want an agent to run those scenarios as tools, cloud only.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 63 against 15
- Schema & documentation, 66 against 15
- Agent ergonomics, 63 against 5
- Security & auth, 68 against 18
- Payments & pricing, 30 against 10
- Transparency & trust, 72 against 33

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install
- Free to start without a card

Watch for: No published OpenAPI file and no official SDK

### Cooper (Mandl) (F)

Good for: Commercial P&C agencies, wholesale brokers, MGAs and claims TPAs that want submissions, ACORDs, quote comparisons and proposals prepared for staff to review.

Watch for: No API, MCP server, webhooks or documented email address an outside agent can use

## Verdicts

**Make API + MCP.** Hosted MCP server with OAuth, and scenario run tools on the free plan. No published OpenAPI file and no official SDK.

**Cooper (Mandl).** Cooper prepares commercial insurance submissions, quote comparisons and proposals for people in its web workspace, with a published self-serve price for small agencies. It has no API, MCP server or webhooks for an outside agent, and its SOC 2 and HIPAA claims come with no report and apply only to full Cooper.

## Before you call either

### Make API + MCP

1. Find the organisation's zone first. It may be on make.com or make.celonis.com
2. Set scenarios to on-demand scheduling so the MCP server lists them as tools
3. Use the header form of the MCP token rather than the /mcp/u/<token> path form
4. On a 429, wait a full minute. The limit resets per minute and no Retry-After is sent
5. Check the `code` field on errors. IM002 means the token lacks rights, not that the resource is missing

### Cooper (Mandl)

1. Don't plan to call Cooper from another agent. It's operated by people in its web workspace
2. If a user's agency uses Cooper, hand them the account documents to forward to Cooper themselves
3. Don't send client insurance data or PHI to Cooper without the agency's signed agreement and, for PHI, a business associate agreement
