Fast Estimate Maker API and MCP server: Let your AI agent quote, follow up and bill the job.
Fast Estimate Maker publishes no public API. Its feature and pricing pages mention no developer docs, API keys, webhooks or Zapier app, and no Fast Estimate Maker MCP server or official ChatGPT or Claude connector was found.
Fast Estimate Maker has no public API and no MCP server (checked 13 Nov 2026). Cotlet runs a hosted Fast Estimate Maker MCP server with 13 tools that ChatGPT and Claude use in your own contractor account. Texted estimates, change orders, invoices and rep invites wait for your OK.

How does the Fast Estimate Maker MCP server work?
- Sign in to Fast Estimate Maker. Once, in a browser we host for you.
- Connect your AI agent. One address in its settings.
- Hand it the paperwork. Draft the change order, then approve the send.
Your agent works in your own signed-in Cloud Browser. Anything that reaches a customer or a rep, or changes what they pay, waits for your OK.
How to connect Fast Estimate Maker to your AI agent
- Sign in to Fast Estimate Maker in a Cloud Browser. Open fastestimatemaker.com in your Cotlet Cloud Browser and sign in with your own login: email link, code or password.
- Add the Cotlet address. Enter https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1 as the MCP server or connector URL in your agent.
- Let the agent in. Chat apps open a Cotlet sign-in page. Editors, n8n and scripts send an API key made in the console.
Fast Estimate Maker answers on the shared address https://cotlet.dev/mcp/v1, together with any other app you turn on, so one connector is enough. Switched it on after connecting? Refresh the connector to load the 13 tools.

All 13 Fast Estimate Maker MCP tools
One tool per Fast Estimate Maker feature page. Tools with an action read with list, get and the other read actions, and ask first before anything that writes or sends.
Estimates and follow-up
From photos or field notes to a draft estimate, then who opened it and why a lead said no.
- Create photo to estimates (
create_photo_to_estimates, write, asks first): Draft estimate line items from job-site photos, a whiteboard or a handwritten scope. - Track estimate views (
track_estimate_views, write, asks first): Read who opened which estimate and how often, or text an estimate link to the customer. - Manage CRM leads (
manage_crm_lead_management, write, asks first): List your pipeline by status, read a lead with its decline reason, or request a Google review. - Manage notes and tasks (
manage_notes_and_tasks, write, asks first): Add notes and tasks to a prospect or customer, read My Tasks, or send notes to AI Estimate. - Manage online booking (
offer_online_booking, write, asks first): Read or change your booking availability and appointment types, or get your booking link.
Canvassing and storms
NOAA reports on your territories, doors and routes, and your reps. Canvass plan features.
- Track hail alerts (
track_hail_alerts, read): Read NOAA storm reports on your territories, hail near past customers and hail history at an address. - Manage canvassing routes (
manage_canvassing_routes, write, asks first): Read doors and territories, log a knock, import an address list, or plan and optimize the day's route. - Manage sales team commissions (
manage_sales_team_commissions, write, asks first): Read rep performance and the commission ledger, invite a rep, or reassign a rep's customers.
Jobs and billing
Change orders on signed jobs, invoices with payment schedules, recurring series, portal links and job costs.
- Create change orders (
create_change_orders, write, asks first): Draft and send a change order on a signed or won job: add work, remove it or add a credit. - Send invoices and collect payments (
send_invoices_and_collect_payments, write, asks first): List invoices by status, convert an accepted estimate into an invoice with a payment schedule, or text it. - Manage recurring invoices (
manage_recurring_invoices, write, asks first): Start a recurring invoice series from an invoice, or pause, change or end one. - Send customer portal links (
use_the_customer_portal, write, asks first): Send a customer their private portal link by email or text, or copy it. - Track job costing and receipts (

Who can see my Fast Estimate Maker session, and how do I revoke it?
- What we store. Your signed-in Fast Estimate Maker browser profile, AES-256-GCM encrypted, in Finland. Never your password or sign-in codes.
- What your agent gets. The 13 Fast Estimate Maker tools. The session cookie stays in the Cloud Browser.
- What the session sees. What your login sees. Signed in as the owner, that includes margins and every rep; a rep login sees only its own leads and numbers.
- What no tool touches. Your plan and billing, Settings, the QuickBooks Online or Wave connection and your Stripe, Square, PayPal or Venmo accounts.
- If Fast Estimate Maker signs you out. You sign in again yourself, in the same Cloud Browser.
- How to cut access. Disable Fast Estimate Maker for agents, reset the browser, or change your Fast Estimate Maker password.
You enter your password or sign-in code yourself; the agent only uses the session that sign-in leaves behind. Our site scores A+ on Qualys SSL Labs, securityheaders.com and Mozilla Observatory (live results).
What happens when Fast Estimate Maker changes?
Fast Estimate Maker adds features often: its photo-to-estimate and notes pages carry November 2026 dates. Cotlet watches the apps it serves and updates this server when those screens change, so your agent keeps working without a change on your side.
The tools follow your plan. On Solo the canvassing, hail near customers and rep tools find nothing to work on; on Off-Season no new change orders go out.
If Fast Estimate Maker signs you out, one click in the Cotlet console reopens the Cloud Browser so you can sign in again.
Approvals, undo and mistakes
- Read the job. send_invoices_and_collect_payments returns the invoice and schedule.
- Draft the change. Lines added, removed or credited, with the reason.
- Show you the new total. Before anything reaches the customer.
- Send after your OK. create_change_orders sends it for signature.
| Action | How to put it right |
|---|---|
| Booking availability, notes, tasks | Call the same tool again with the earlier values |
| Recurring invoice series | Pause or end it with manage_recurring_invoices; sent invoices stay as sent |
| Change order waiting for a signature | Withdraw it in Fast Estimate Maker, then send a corrected one |
| Texted estimate, portal link or review request | Already with your customer: follow up with them directly |
All 12 write tools ask first: by default you confirm each call, and you can switch that off per tool. The read tool, hail alerts, runs at once.
MCP call:
{
"name": "create_change_orders",
"arguments": {
"estimate": "1042",
"changes": [
{
"add": {
"description": "Replace rotted decking",
"quantity": 6,
"price": 540
}
}
],
"reason": "Rotted decking found at tear-off",
"working_days": 1,
"added_work_on": "final"
}
}
REST:
curl -X POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/fast-estimate-maker/change-orders \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $COTLET_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"estimate":"1042","changes":[{"add":{"description":"Replace rotted decking","quantity":6,"price":540}}],"reason":"Rotted decking found at tear-off","working_days":1,"added_work_on":"final"}'
Response:
{
"change_order": "1042-CO1",
"estimate": "1042",
"added": [
{
"item": "Replace rotted decking",
"quantity": 6,
"unit": "sheets",
"price": 540
}
],
"new_total": 10920,
"status": "sent"
}
The example adds six sheets of decking at $90 each, $540, to a $10,380 roof job: the new total is $10,920 and the change rides on the final payment. The invoice changes only once the customer signs. A cron job or n8n flow can make the same call over REST at /api/v1/fast-estimate-maker with the same key and price, in JSON. Failed calls are free.
How much does the Fast Estimate Maker MCP server cost?
About $22 a month for a roofing owner with two reps, 3,750 credits. Your Fast Estimate Maker plan stays as it is.
| Job | Calls | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Morning check of viewed estimates and leads | 2 × 22 | 440 |
| Photo estimates drafted and texted | 2 × 15 | 300 |
| Hail check and route plan | 2 × 12 | 240 |
| Doors logged after a canvass | 5 × 8 | 400 |
| Notes and tasks on prospects | 1 × 30 | 300 |
| Change orders and invoices | 2 × 10 | 200 |
| Receipts added to job costs | 1 × 25 | 250 |
| Friday margins and commissions | 3 × 4 | 120 |
| Cloud Browser, 30 days | 1,500 | |
| Total | 225 calls | 3,750 |
The smallest pack, 5,000 credits for $29, covers this month. Storm season, with more canvassing and estimates, uses more calls.
- Free 7-day trial, no card
- 10 credits per successful call, MCP or REST
- 50 credits a day for the Cloud Browser
- Your Fast Estimate Maker plan and rep seats apply as they are
Credit packs are one-time purchases, not a subscription. The month above is an example built from our own assumptions, not measured customer usage.
Fast Estimate Maker MCP server: other ways to connect
| Option | What it does | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| QuickBooks Online or Wave sync | Copies clients and invoices, with change order lines, to your books. | One way, invoices only; it does not quote, follow up or canvass. |
| Google or Zoho Calendar | Receives bookings and task due dates. | A calendar, not a route for an AI agent. |
| AI inside Fast Estimate Maker | Drafts estimates from voice, notes or photos, and follow-up messages. | Works in the app; ChatGPT, Claude or a script cannot call it. |
| By hand | Open each estimate, lead and invoice on your phone. | One screen at a time, only when you stop to do it. |
If the built-in AI and syncs already do the job, keep them: they are the vendor's own tools. Cotlet fits when you want ChatGPT, Claude or a script working across Fast Estimate Maker from your own login, with nothing to host.

Fast Estimate Maker MCP server: questions
How do I get access?
Sign up free at https://cotlet.dev/signup?app=fast-estimate-maker, turn on Fast Estimate Maker under Integrations in the console and sign in at https://fastestimatemaker.com/ in your Cloud Browser. Then connect your AI agent and ask it about your open estimates. The trial needs no card.
Does Fast Estimate Maker have an API?
Fast Estimate Maker publishes no public API (checked 13 Nov 2026). Its feature and pricing pages document no developer docs, API keys, webhooks or Zapier app; its own integrations are Google or Zoho Calendar, QuickBooks Online or Wave, and Stripe, Square, PayPal or Venmo. No Fast Estimate Maker MCP server or official ChatGPT or Claude connector was found. Cotlet works in your own signed-in Fast Estimate Maker account instead.
Which Fast Estimate Maker plan do the tools need?
The pricing page lists two plans: Solo at $29.99 a month with every office feature, and Canvass at $59.99 a month plus $19.99 per rep, which adds canvassing, territories, storm alerts, rep logins and commissions. On the $5 Off-Season plan you cannot send new change orders. The agent can use only what your plan includes.
Does Cotlet replace the QuickBooks Online or Wave sync?
No. Fast Estimate Maker syncs clients and invoices to QuickBooks Online or Wave by itself once you connect it under Settings > Payments & Accounting. No Cotlet tool changes that connection or your payment processors.
Should I sign in as the owner or as a rep?
Sign in with the login whose work the agent should do. Fast Estimate Maker shows reps only their own leads, clients and numbers, and keeps margins and profitability reports for the owner and managers, so a rep login gives the agent the same limits.
Is the MCP server different from the REST API?
Only in how it is called. Both carry the same 13 tools, inputs, answers, API key and price. Agents use MCP; scripts and n8n HTTP steps use REST.
Is Cotlet affiliated with Fast Estimate Maker?
No. Cotlet is independent and not affiliated with Fast Estimate Maker.
