# Clear Estimates MCP server: Let your AI agent write your Clear Estimates bids.

> Clear Estimates has no MCP server, no ChatGPT or Claude app and no public API. Its only connection is Zapier on the Pro plan, and that key passes new customers, not estimates (Clear Estimates help, checked 8 Nov 2026). Cotlet runs 9 Clear Estimates tools hosted, over MCP for agents and REST for scripts, in your own login on any plan.

Your AI agent starts estimates from site notes with your templates, sends proposals for e-signature, chases unsigned ones and bills the next payment. Sign in to Clear Estimates once in your own Cloud Browser. No API, no Zapier plan.

- Free 7-day trial, no card

## How does the Clear Estimates MCP server work?

1. **Sign in to Clear Estimates.** Once, in a browser we host for you.
2. **Connect your AI agent.** One address in its settings.
3. **Hand it the busywork.** It drafts the work, you OK what customers get.

We never keep your Clear Estimates password, and no proposal or invoice reaches a customer until you approve it.

## How to connect Clear Estimates to your AI agent

1. **Sign in to Clear Estimates in a Cloud Browser.** Create a Cotlet account, open Clear Estimates in its Cloud Browser, sign in with your Clear Estimates login and press Enable for agents.
2. **Add the Cotlet address.** Enter https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as the MCP server or connector URL in your agent.
3. **Let the agent in.** Chat apps open a Cotlet sign-in page. Editors, n8n and scripts send an API key made in the console.

Clear Estimates shares the address `https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1` with every other app you enable, so one connector covers them all. Turned Clear Estimates on after connecting? Refresh the connector and the 9 tools appear.

Claude:

```
Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector
URL: https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1/connect

Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http cotlet \
  https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY"
```

ChatGPT:

```
Settings > Apps & Connectors > Create
MCP server URL: https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1/connect

    }
  }
}
```

Codex:

```
# ~/.codex/config.toml

## All 9 Clear Estimates MCP tools

### Customers and projects

Search matches name, phone and street. New customers and projects reach no one, so they run at once.

- **List customers** (`list_customers`, read): Customers, searchable by name, phone or address.
- **Create customer** (`create_customer`, write): Adds a new customer.
- **List projects** (`list_projects`, read): Projects with status, total and sent proposals or invoices.
- **Create project** (`create_project`, write): Starts a project (estimate) for a customer.

### Estimates

Templates and parts come with your area's costs and your markup. Building an estimate reaches no one, so it runs at once.

- **Add template to estimate** (`add_template`, write): Adds one of your templates to a project.
- **Add parts to estimate** (`add_parts`, write): Adds parts from the parts database to a project.
- **Get estimate** (`get_estimate`, read): One project's estimate with lines, markup, taxes and total.

### Proposals and invoices

Anything that reaches the customer waits for your OK.

- **Send proposal** (`send_proposal`, write, asks first): Emails the proposal to the customer, with e-signature if you use it.
- **Create invoice** (`create_invoice`, write, asks first): Creates an invoice from the payment schedule or an amount.

## Who can see my Clear Estimates session, and how do I revoke it?

- **What we store.** Your signed-in Clear Estimates profile, AES-256-GCM encrypted, in Finland. No password.
- **What your agent gets.** The 9 Clear Estimates tools, never the session cookie.
- **What the session sees.** What your login sees: customers, projects, estimates, reports.
- **What no tool touches.** Payments, your parts prices and markup, account settings, deletes.
- **If Clear Estimates signs you out.** You sign in again yourself, in the same Cloud Browser.
- **How to cut access.** Disable for agents, reset the browser, or change your Clear Estimates password.

Cotlet never types your password: you sign in yourself, and the agent only uses the session. Our site scores A+ on Qualys SSL Labs, securityheaders.com and Mozilla Observatory ([live results](https://cotlet.dev/security.md)).

## What happens when Clear Estimates changes?

- **12 h** between tests of the Clear Estimates reads
- **24 h** between tests of sends a customer would notice
- **$0** for a call to a Clear Estimates tool paused for repair

When Clear Estimates moves a button on the estimate screen or renames a report, we fix the tool and your agent calls it the same way. [status.cotlet.dev](https://status.cotlet.dev) checks the site, console and API every 3 minutes.

## Approvals, undo and mistakes

1. **Starts the project.** For the customer, found or added.
2. **Adds templates and parts.** With your local costs and markup.
3. **Shows the estimate.** By section, with the total.
4. **Waits, then sends.** The proposal shows up in your Cotlet console first.

| Action | Undo |
|---|---|
| Build an estimate | Yes, edit or remove lines in Clear Estimates |
| Send a proposal | No, it is in the customer's inbox; send a revised one |
| Create an invoice | Yes, before it is sent |
| Add a customer or project | Yes, edit it in Clear Estimates |

2 of 9 tools ask first: send_proposal, create_invoice. New customers, projects and estimate lines reach no customer, so they run at once. You can turn the wait off per tool once you trust a routine.

MCP call:

```
{
  "name": "add_template",
  "arguments": {
    "project_id": "P-5188",
    "template": "Kitchen backsplash, tile",
    "quantity": 45
  }
}
```

REST:

```
curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/clear-estimates/projects/P-5188/templates \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"template":"Kitchen backsplash, tile","quantity":45}'
```

Response:

```
{
  "project_id": "P-5188",
  "template": "Kitchen backsplash, tile",
  "lines_added": 9,
  "total": "3,960.00"
}
```

A cron job or n8n flow can call the same tools over REST at `/api/v1/clear-estimates` with the same key and price, in JSON. Failed calls are free. Each tool row above shows its REST path.

## How much does the Clear Estimates MCP server cost?

**About $19 a month** for a remodeler with an owner and an estimator, 3,320 credits. Your Clear Estimates plan stays as it is.

| Job | Calls | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Estimate started from site notes | 5 × 20 | 1,000 |
| Estimate checked | 1 × 30 | 300 |
| Proposal sent | 1 × 18 | 180 |
| Unsigned proposals, weekly | 1 × 4 | 40 |
| Invoice from the schedule | 2 × 15 | 300 |
| Cloud Browser, 30 days |  | 1,500 |
| Total |  | 3,320 |

- Free 7-day trial, no card
- 10 credits per successful call, MCP or REST
- 50 credits a day for the Cloud Browser
- Works on any Clear Estimates plan

Clear Estimates publishes no project counts, so the month is our example. Dollars at the $29 pack rate.

## Clear Estimates MCP server on GitHub, Zapier or hosted: which to use

| Option | What it does | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| Zapier on Pro | New customers from Clear Estimates to your CRM. | Pro plan only; no estimates, proposals or invoices. |
| AI Estimator | Clear Estimates' own AI that scopes a job inside the app. | Works inside Clear Estimates; not your ChatGPT or Claude. |
| By hand | Every screen of Clear Estimates, one line at a time. | Your evenings. |

If all you need is new customers in a CRM, the Zapier key on Pro does that. To build, send and follow up bids from ChatGPT or Claude this week, Cotlet works in the Clear Estimates account you already have.

## Clear Estimates MCP server: questions

### How do I get access?

Sign up free at https://cotlet.dev, open Clear Estimates under Integrations in the console and sign in to Clear Estimates in its Cloud Browser. The trial starts with your first app and asks for no card.

### How do I connect Clear Estimates to ChatGPT or Claude?

Sign up at cotlet.dev, log in to Clear Estimates once in its Cloud Browser and add Cotlet to ChatGPT or Claude, following the steps in your console. No API key is needed. ChatGPT and Claude then work in your Clear Estimates account through Cotlet, in their phone apps too.

### What can ChatGPT do in Clear Estimates?

With Cotlet, ChatGPT, Claude and other AI agents handle jobs like these in Clear Estimates: start an estimate from site notes; check an estimate before sending; send the proposal. You ask in plain words, and anything that reaches other people waits for your OK first.

### Is there an official ChatGPT or Claude app for Clear Estimates?

No. Clear Estimates has no ChatGPT or Claude connector of its own and Clear Estimates has no official MCP server (checked 8 Nov 2026). Cotlet is an independent one that works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and any MCP client, on your signed-in account.

### Can ChatGPT create estimates in Clear Estimates?

Yes, with Cotlet. ChatGPT starts the project, adds your templates and parts with local costs and your markup, and shows you the total by section before anything goes out.

### Can ChatGPT send proposals in Clear Estimates?

Yes, with Cotlet. ChatGPT sends the proposal with e-signature after your OK, and lists proposals that are still not signed a week later.

### Can ChatGPT create invoices in Clear Estimates?

Yes, with Cotlet. ChatGPT creates the next invoice from the project's payment schedule, or a manual amount, after your OK.

### Do I need the Clear Estimates Pro plan to use Cotlet?

No. Cotlet works through your own Clear Estimates login on any plan. The Zapier key on Pro passes only customer data; Cotlet works in the estimate and proposal screens.

### Does it use my prices and markup?

Yes. Cotlet adds parts and templates the way you do in the estimate screen, so your area pricing, your custom parts and your markup apply. It never changes them.

### Is the MCP server different from the REST API?

Only in how it is called. Both carry the same 9 tools, inputs, answers, API key and price. Agents use MCP; scripts and HTTP steps use REST.

### Is Cotlet affiliated with Clear Estimates?

No. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Clear Estimates.
