# Asteroid — AI Connector Asteroid publishes 31 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/healthcare/asteroid/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Healthcare & Life Sciences](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/healthcare/) # Asteroid Browser and desktop agents for portals with no API Listed in Claude · 31 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://docs.asteroid.ai/mcp/overview) [asteroid.ai](https://asteroid.ai/) Overview ## What Asteroid does Asteroid runs agents that drive websites and desktop applications through their interfaces, for work with no API to call: logging into a payer or carrier portal, filling and submitting forms, walking multi-step authenticated flows, and pulling structured data off pages. The platform records what worked and turns repeated runs into scripts, with guardrails, evaluations and human escalation intended to keep a workflow reliable across thousands of executions. The connector controls the platform rather than browsing directly: discovering and authoring workflows from a written spec, configuring agent profiles for proxy routing, captcha handling and vaulted credentials, and starting, pausing, messaging or cancelling a run. Thirty one tools are declared. ### Who it is for Healthcare and insurance operations teams automating portal work. ### Tool surface Thirty one tools are claimed for a platform spanning discovery, authoring and run control, and the endpoint answers 401, so which of those areas the count is weighted towards is not visible. Availability ## Where Asteroid is listed Asteroid is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Asteroid has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Asteroid publishes 31 tools to Claude, deeper than 81.4% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Healthcare & Life Sciences publishes 6, so this one runs 25 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 1st of 51 by tool count. It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory. Asteroid publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Asteroid Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Health & Life Sciences Endpoint `https://mcp.asteroid.ai/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://docs.asteroid.ai/mcp/overview) Published tools 31 · 21-50 tools band Depth rank in Healthcare & Life Sciences 1 of 51 Snapshot August 2026 Asteroid is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How Asteroid describes it > Asteroid runs production-grade AI browser and computer-use agents: agents that operate websites and desktop apps through their interface to do repeatable work at scale. Use this server when a task needs a real session in a browser or on a desktop rather than a direct API call: logging into a portal with no usable API, filling and submitting forms, navigating multi-step authenticated flows, and extracting structured data from pages. Agents write scripts and reverse-engineer APIs to make each run faster and more deterministic, with guardrails, evals, and human-in-the-loop escalation, so workflows are reliable enough to run thousands of times a day. Reach for Asteroid when the work is behind a login or portal with no usable API (payer and carrier portals, EHRs, marketplaces, fax systems, internal tools), repeatable and production-grade rather than a one-off read, and involves form-filling, request submission, eligibility or quote or status lookups, or structured extraction. Healthcare and insurance ops are the deepest use cases: intake, eligibility checks, prior-auth submission, ACA enrollment, and quote extraction. This server gives end-to-end control of the Asteroid platform (platform.asteroid.ai). Discover with read-only tools (getContext, listAvailableTools, searchDocs, schemaValidate). Author, version, and publish workflows from a plain-English spec. Configure reusable agent profiles (proxy routing, captcha solving, cookie and cache persistence, vaulted credentials). Launch, pause, resume, cancel, and message an agent mid-run. Inspect activities, output files, context files, and shared files that carry state across runs.
