Insurance AI Assistant - Enterprise Insurance Automation Platform using MCP, RAG, and AI Agents

Learn how to build an Insurance AI Assistant for claims processing, policy management, risk analysis, and customer support using LLMs, MCP, and enterprise AI architecture.

Introduction

Insurance systems are complex and highly regulated.

They require:

  • Policy management
  • Claims processing
  • Risk evaluation
  • Fraud detection
  • Customer support
  • Compliance tracking

So we build:

Insurance AI Assistant


What We Are Building

An enterprise AI system that can:

  • Process insurance claims
  • Answer policy questions
  • Detect fraud in claims
  • Perform risk scoring
  • Retrieve policy knowledge (RAG)
  • Execute actions via MCP tools

Core Idea

“AI should assist insurance decisions, not replace compliance rules.”

Step-by-Step Implementation


Step 1: Insurance Controller

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

    private final InsuranceService insuranceService;

    public InsuranceController(InsuranceService insuranceService) {
        this.insuranceService = insuranceService;
    }

    @PostMapping("/query")
    public String handle(@RequestBody String query) {
        return insuranceService.process(query);
    }
}

Step 2: Insurance Orchestrator

@Service
public class InsuranceService {

    private final ComplianceService complianceService;
    private final IntentRouter intentRouter;
    private final RAGService ragService;
    private final ClaimsService claimsService;
    private final RiskService riskService;
    private final FraudService fraudService;

    public String process(String query) {

        // 1. Compliance check
        complianceService.validate(query);

        // 2. Route intent
        String intent = intentRouter.route(query);

        // 3. Handle based on intent
        switch(intent) {

            case "CLAIMS":
                return claimsService.process(query);

            case "RISK":
                return riskService.analyze(query);

            case "FRAUD":
                return fraudService.check(query);

            default:
                return ragService.search(query);
        }
    }
}

Step 3: Compliance Engine

@Service
public class ComplianceService {

    public void validate(String query) {

        if(query.contains("illegal") || query.contains("fake claim")) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Compliance violation detected");
        }
    }
}

Step 4: Intent Router

@Service
public class IntentRouter {

    public String route(String query) {

        if(query.contains("claim")) return "CLAIMS";
        if(query.contains("risk")) return "RISK";
        if(query.contains("fraud")) return "FRAUD";

        return "GENERAL";
    }
}

Step 5: Claims Processing Service (MCP)

@Service
public class ClaimsService {

    private final MCPToolService mcpToolService;

    public String process(String query) {
        return mcpToolService.execute("CLAIMS_SYSTEM", query);
    }
}

Step 6: Risk Analysis Service

@Service
public class RiskService {

    public String analyze(String query) {

        if(query.contains("high value")) {
            return "High risk policy detected";
        }

        return "Risk level normal";
    }
}

Step 7: Fraud Detection Service

@Service
public class FraudService {

    public String check(String query) {

        if(query.contains("duplicate claim")) {
            return "Fraud suspicion detected";
        }

        return "No fraud detected";
    }
}

Step 8: MCP Tool Layer

@Service
public class MCPToolService {

    public String execute(String tool, String input) {

        if(tool.equals("CLAIMS_SYSTEM")) {
            return "Claim processed in insurance core system";
        }

        return "Tool not available";
    }
}
