Perplexity

Build and edit Formbricks surveys in chat

You can launch new surveys directly from Claude Desktop using the `create_survey` tool. Your agent handles the JSON payloads so you do not have to copy-paste configurations back and forth. If a survey misses the mark, just tell the agent to run `delete_survey` to pull it down instantly. Running this MCP Server locally lets Claude Desktop read your active setups via `get_survey`. You get immediate control over your feedback loops without switching to a browser tab.

Analyze user feedback responses with Claude Desktop

The `list_responses` tool pulls raw feedback data straight into Claude Desktop for immediate analysis. Your agent inspects individual entries using `get_response` to find friction points in your product. You do not need to export CSVs or write custom SQL queries to see what users think. This setup makes it easy to spot trends in user complaints. Ask the agent to summarize the latest batch of responses, and it will pull the exact text to back up its findings.

Map user actions and target audiences

The `list_action_classes` tool lets Claude Desktop see the custom events that trigger your in-app surveys. You can inspect your target audience by running `list_people` to see who is hitting those triggers. The agent cross-references this with `get_person` to show you exactly which user segment is struggling with your checkout flow. Checking your active webhooks with `list_webhooks` ensures your survey events route to your Slack or Discord channels correctly. You can debug your entire feedback pipeline from one terminal-backed desktop app with this MCP Server.

Yes, the desktop app can combine local files with active survey data. Your agent reads the local files using its filesystem tools, then matches them with data pulled via `list_responses`. This lets you merge offline user lists with live feedback.

This usually happens if your API key lacks the right permissions or is expired. Check your environment variables in the config file to ensure `list_webhooks` has access. If the key is correct, restarting the desktop client clears any cached connection errors.
