Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get jobs” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "www.mymitchell.com/get_jobs",
    "input": {
      "view": "Open",
      "estimate_status": "Supplement Requested"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "view": "Open",
    "jobs": [
      {
        "last_name": "Doe",
        "first_name": "Jordan",
        "year": 2023,
        "make": "Toyota",
        "model": "RAV4",
        "license": "8ABC123",
        "insurance_company": "Northwind Insurance",
        "modified": "2026-11-12T08:14:00",
        "claim_number": "NW-0048213",
        "estimate_status": "Supplement Requested"
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Mitchell Cloud Estimating’s own options

Mitchell's developer portal offers the RepairCenter Transactional API to partner applications: a near real-time API for one job at one shop, covering repair orders, estimates and shop data, with an application key you get by registering. It does not mention Mitchell Connect assignments or photos. In Mitchell Cloud Estimating itself you can export an estimate as an EMS or BMS file.

Signing in to Mitchell Cloud Estimating

The sign-in page reached from www.mymitchell.com asks for an Organization ID, a Username and a Password, with a Remember Me option, and shows no second step. Shop users set up their username and password from an insurer's assignment email. With Fous you sign in once through Mitchell's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Each insurer decides how assignments arrive

Mitchell Connect has two ways to get assignments, depending on the insurance company's workflow: the insurer sends them to you, or you request them. Insurers send both appraisal and supplement assignments.

Pending Review locks the estimate

An estimate in Pending Review is sent and locked while the insurer reviews it. To change it, you contact the insurance company or message them from the Messages tab.

EMS export needs a path and a utility

Exporting EMS or BMS needs an EMS path in Import/Export Settings, which may install the Setup Estimate Utility. With Auto Export on, EMS is written each time an estimate is committed.

Scorecards depend on the shop

Insurance Scores show daily metrics chosen by the insurance company, read-only, and download as PDF or CSV. They are not available to all shops.
