AMS360 MCP Server
MCP server for Vertafore AMS360 WSAPI v3, implemented in TypeScript with @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and a real SOAP 1.1 client for AMS360's WCF endpoint.
What it does
This server exposes the following MCP tools:
search_clients(query)get_client(clientId)get_policies(clientId)get_renewals(startDate, endDate)get_activities(filter)
Under the hood it uses the public AMS360 WSAPI v3 contract:

Important WSAPI notes
The public Vertafore AMS360 WSAPI v3 docs currently describe a single SOAP endpoint:
https://wsapi.ams360.com/v3/WSAPIService.svc
Authentication is not plain REST-style auth. The documented flow is:
- Call
LoginwithAgencyNo,LoginId,Password, and optionallyEmployeeCode. - Read the
WSAPISessionSOAP header from the login response. - Send that
WSAPISessionheader with subsequent requests.
This server follows that flow and also supports optional HTTP Basic auth for agencies that place WSAPI behind an additional HTTPS auth layer.
Limitations from the public docs
Two of the requested concepts are not fully exposed by the current public WSAPI v3 surface:
- The docs show
CustomerActivityInsertandCommonActivityInsert, but not an activity-list retrieval operation. - The docs do not publish a global agency-wide renewal date-range query.
Because of that:
get_activitiesis implemented against the retrievable WSAPI entities that agencies commonly use for reminders: customer suspenses, common suspenses, and personal notes.get_renewalsreturns a structured docs-based limitation message instead of pretending a complete renewal feed exists when it does not.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 20+ recommended
- AMS360 WSAPI credentials created in AMS360
- Your agency number
Install
npm install
npm run build
To run directly from source during development:
npm run dev
To run the compiled server:
npm start
Configuration
Set these environment variables:
export AMS360_AGENCY_NO="YOUR_AGENCY_NO"
export AMS360_USERNAME="YOUR_WSAPI_LOGIN_ID"
export AMS360_PASSWORD="YOUR_WSAPI_PASSWORD"
export AMS360_ENDPOINT_URL="https://wsapi.ams360.com/v3/WSAPIService.svc"

export AMS360_TIMEOUT_MS="30000"
export AMS360_POLICY_DETAIL_LIMIT="25"
export AMS360_DEBUG="false"
Optional HTTP Basic auth, if your agency front-ends WSAPI with another auth layer:
export AMS360_HTTP_AUTH_MODE="basic"
export AMS360_HTTP_USERNAME="basic-auth-user"
export AMS360_HTTP_PASSWORD="basic-auth-password"
Aliases supported by this server:
AMS360_AGENCY_URLas an alias forAMS360_ENDPOINT_URLAMS360_LOGIN_IDas an alias forAMS360_USERNAME
Claude Desktop
Add the server to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ams360": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/absolute/path/to/ams360-mcp-server/dist/index.js"
],
"env": {
"AMS360_AGENCY_NO": "YOUR_AGENCY_NO",
"AMS360_USERNAME": "YOUR_WSAPI_LOGIN_ID",
"AMS360_PASSWORD": "YOUR_WSAPI_PASSWORD",
"AMS360_ENDPOINT_URL": "https://wsapi.ams360.com/v3/WSAPIService.svc"
}
}
}
}
If you want Claude Desktop to launch it from the package directory instead:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ams360": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"tsx",
"/absolute/path/to/ams360-mcp-server/src/index.ts"
],
"env": {
"AMS360_AGENCY_NO": "YOUR_AGENCY_NO",
"AMS360_USERNAME": "YOUR_WSAPI_LOGIN_ID",
"AMS360_PASSWORD": "YOUR_WSAPI_PASSWORD"
}
}
}
}
Claude Code
Add the same server definition to .claude.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ams360": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/absolute/path/to/ams360-mcp-server/dist/index.js"
],
"env": {
"AMS360_AGENCY_NO": "YOUR_AGENCY_NO",
"AMS360_USERNAME": "YOUR_WSAPI_LOGIN_ID",
"AMS360_PASSWORD": "YOUR_WSAPI_PASSWORD",
"AMS360_ENDPOINT_URL": "https://wsapi.ams360.com/v3/WSAPIService.svc"
}
}
}
}
Tool behavior
search_clients(query)
Best-effort search strategy:
- GUID ->
CustomerGetById - numeric string ->
CustomerGetByNumber - text ->
CustomerGetListByNamePrefix - policy-looking string ->
PolicyGetListByPolicyNumber, then hydrate matched customer records
get_client(clientId)
Fetches a full customer record by:
- customer GUID, or
- customer number
get_policies(clientId)
Returns:
- policy summaries for all matched policies
- hydrated policy details for up to
AMS360_POLICY_DETAIL_LIMITpolicies - line-of-business enrichment via
LineOfBusinessGetByCode
Important:
- policy summaries are returned for all matched policies
- full
PolicyGetdetail is only fetched for the firstAMS360_POLICY_DETAIL_LIMITpolicies - the default detail limit is
25 - the tool output includes
detailHydrationTruncatedanddetailHydrationMessagewhen the detailed set is partial
get_activities(filter)
Supported filter routes:
{"customerId":"<guid>"}->CustomerSuspenseGetListByCustomerId{"entityId":"<id>","entityType":<short>}->CommonSuspenseGetListByEntityId{"source":"personalNotes","dateFrom":"2026-01-01","dateTo":"2026-01-31"}->PersonalNoteGetList
Important:
- this tool does not default to personal notes when the filter is empty
- to retrieve personal notes, set
sourceto"personalNotes"explicitly
get_renewals(startDate, endDate)
Returns a structured limitation response explaining that the public WSAPI v3 docs do not expose a true agency-wide renewal date-range query. This is returned as a normal tool response, not a transport/tool failure.
