# Build Your Own Claude Insurance Agent in One Afternoon (No Code Required)

<p>You don't need to be a developer to ship an AI agent your agency uses every day. With Claude Desktop's MCP support and unLocked CRM's native server, you can build a custom assistant in one afternoon.</p>

<h2>Step 1: Wire Up MCP</h2>
<p>Open Claude Desktop config and paste the unLocked MCP server entry with your API key. Restart Claude. You'll see the unLocked tool icon.</p>

<h2>Step 2: Write a System Prompt (the Personality)</h2>
<p>Open a new project in Claude Desktop, name it "Agency Assistant," and paste a system prompt:</p>
<blockquote><p>"You are the AI assistant for ABC Insurance Agency. You help agents look up clients, draft outreach, build reports, and triage tasks. Always confirm before write operations. Default to Spanish if the client's preferred language is Spanish. Never give legal or tax advice — refer to a CPA or attorney."</p></blockquote>

<h2>Step 3: Test the First 5 Workflows</h2>
<ol>
<li>"Pull the Garcia family's policy summary."</li>
<li>"Draft a Spanish renewal reminder for clients renewing in 30 days."</li>
<li>"Show me commission posted last week, grouped by carrier."</li>
<li>"Find any T65 leads I haven't contacted."</li>
<li>"Create a follow-up task for every dropped Medicare quote this month."</li>
</ol>

<h2>Step 4: Roll It Out to the Team</h2>
<p>Each team member adds the same MCP entry to their Claude Desktop. Issue per-user API keys so audit logs show who did what. Done.</p>

<h2>What You Just Built</h2>
<p>An AI assistant that knows your CRM data, speaks in your agency's voice, enforces your safety rules, and runs locally on every team member's machine — without writing a single line of code.</p>
