Introduction

Insurance systems are complex because they involve:

• Policy validation
• Claim processing
• Fraud detection
• Document verification
• Customer support

Traditional systems are rule-heavy and slow.

Now we upgrade them using AI:

Insurance AI Agent System

---

What We Are Building

An AI-powered insurance agent that can:

• Process insurance claims
• Validate policy coverage
• Detect fraudulent claims
• Summarize claim documents
• Answer customer queries

Step 1: Create Spring Boot Project

Dependencies:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

---

Step 2: Insurance Request Model

public class InsuranceRequest {
    private String claimId;
    private String customerId;
    private String query;
}

---

Step 3: Insurance Response Model

public class InsuranceResponse {
    private String result;
}

---

Step 4: Insurance Controller

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/insurance")
public class InsuranceController {

    private final InsuranceAgentService insuranceAgentService;

    public InsuranceController(InsuranceAgentService insuranceAgentService) {
        this.insuranceAgentService = insuranceAgentService;
    }

    @PostMapping("/ask")
    public InsuranceResponse ask(@RequestBody InsuranceRequest request) {
        return insuranceAgentService.process(request);
    }
}

---

Step 5: Insurance Agent Service

@Service
public class InsuranceAgentService {

    private final PlannerAgent plannerAgent;
    private final ExecutorAgent executorAgent;

    public InsuranceAgentService(PlannerAgent plannerAgent,
                                 ExecutorAgent executorAgent) {
        this.plannerAgent = plannerAgent;
        this.executorAgent = executorAgent;
    }

    public InsuranceResponse process(InsuranceRequest request) {

        // 1. Create execution plan
        String plan = plannerAgent.createPlan(request.getQuery());

        // 2. Execute plan
        String result = executorAgent.execute(plan,
                request.getClaimId(),
                request.getCustomerId());

        // 3. Return response
        InsuranceResponse response = new InsuranceResponse();
        response.setResult(result);

        return response;
    }
}

---

Step 6: Planner Agent

@Service
public class PlannerAgent {

    public String createPlan(String query) {

        if (query.contains("claim")) {
            return "CLAIM_PROCESSING_PLAN";
        }

        if (query.contains("fraud")) {
            return "FRAUD_DETECTION_PLAN";
        }

        if (query.contains("policy")) {
            return "POLICY_VALIDATION_PLAN";
        }

        return "GENERAL_INSURANCE_PLAN";
    }
}

---

Step 7: Executor Agent

@Service
public class ExecutorAgent {

    public String execute(String plan,
                          String claimId,
                          String customerId) {

        switch (plan) {

            case "CLAIM_PROCESSING_PLAN":
                return "Claim " + claimId + " processed successfully";

            case "FRAUD_DETECTION_PLAN":
                return "Fraud Score LOW for claim " + claimId;

            case "POLICY_VALIDATION_PLAN":
                return "Policy VALID for customer " + customerId;

            default:
                return "General insurance response generated";
        }
    }
}

Step 8: MCP Integration (Advanced Layer)

Now we upgrade execution using MCP:

ExecutorAgent → MCP Server → Tools + LLM + Compliance Engine

Example 1: Claim Processing

Input:

Process claim CLM123

Flow:

1. Planner selects claim processing plan
2. Executor calls claim tool via MCP
3. LLM validates claim details
4. Response returned

---

Example 2: Fraud Detection

Input:

Check fraud for claim CLM999

Flow:

1. Planner selects fraud detection plan
2. MCP fraud tool executed
3. Risk score generated
4. Response returned

---

Example 3: Policy Validation

Input:

Check policy coverage for customer C101

Flow:

1. Planner selects policy validation plan
2. Policy tool executed via MCP
3. Coverage checked
4. Response generated

• Non-critical systems
• Prototype applications

---

Summary

In this article, you learned:

• How to build an Insurance AI Agent
• Planner + Executor architecture
• MCP integration for enterprise workflows
• Claim, fraud, and policy use cases
