SurveyMethods MCP for AI. Manage Contacts, Surveys, and Responses from Chat.

Q: How do I get all the responses for a specific survey using listresponses?

You use listresponses and provide the target Survey ID. This tool pulls every single submission record associated with that specific form.

Q: Can I add new contacts to my database using createcontact?

Yes, you can run createcontact. Just give your agent the necessary details, and it adds the person's profile to your respondent list.

Q: What if I need to change questions on a live survey? Do I use updatesurvey?

You run updatesurvey. However, always verify the current structure first by calling getsurvey so you don't break anything.

Q: How do I check if my connection to SurveyMethods is working before running any tools?

Just call the getme tool. This confirms API connectivity and gives you confidence that your agent can talk to the server right now.

Q: How do I view every survey I have created using listsurveys?

The listsurveys tool gives you a comprehensive rundown of all surveys in your account. This is the best way to check IDs or names before you start working on data analysis.

Q: If I need to set up a new way for people to submit responses, what do I use? (listcollectors)

You'll use createcollector to establish distribution channels. This tool sets up the specific pathway where your survey results will come in.

Q: I only need one piece of feedback, not all of them. How do I check it with getresponse?

getresponse retrieves a single response when you provide the ID number. It's faster than listing everything if you just want to check one specific entry.

Q: Where can I pull the list of all my current respondents? (listcontacts)

listcontacts pulls an overview of everyone in your respondent database. Use this when you need a complete roster or want to verify contact information.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 12 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Tracking user responses means clicking through six different tabs.

Today, gathering a full report on why users left requires an annoying dance: You pull the list of IDs from one dashboard, copy them into another tab to check completion status, then jump to a third platform just to see who responded, and finally export all that data into Excel for manual stitching. It's time-consuming.

With SurveyMethods MCP Server, your agent handles it all in chat. You tell it what you need—say, 'Get me all responses from the Q2 Beta.' The server runs `list_responses` on the specific survey ID and returns a clean data dump instantly. No tabs, no copy/pasting.

SurveyMethods MCP Server: Manage surveys, contacts & responses

Manual cleanup involves logging into the platform to find old forms that are collecting zero data. You have to remember which ones you can't delete but also shouldn't be active.

Now, use `list_surveys` to see everything and then run `delete_survey` on anything retired. It cleans up your system instantly. Your agent handles the cleanup so you don't have to worry about forgotten forms.

What your AI can actually do with this

Your agent uses get_me when you need to confirm the connection to SurveyMethods or check your account details. This confirms that everything's running smooth and ready for action.

Building and Modifying Surveys

The process starts with creating a survey using create_survey, which builds and launches an entirely new questionnaire into the system. You can then use list_surveys to see every single survey you've got sitting in your account right now. Need to know what’s going on with one specific poll? get_survey pulls all the metadata and details for that individual, existing survey.

If you gotta tweak something—change a question, adjust the settings, or update the core information of a live questionnaire—you use update_survey. When a survey is totally done and you don't want it visible anymore, delete_survey permanently removes it from your account.

Managing Contacts and Distribution Channels

You gotta keep track of who's answering. You add specific people to your database using create_contact, which handles a single person's details for your respondent list. To get a full picture of everyone you've collected data from, run list_contacts. Before sending out the survey, you set up distribution channels or methods using create_collector to ensure data can be gathered properly.

You can check all the active ways you're collecting submissions by running list_collectors, which shows every current collector associated with a specific survey.

Analyzing Submission Data

When it comes time for the numbers, this server is your control panel. If you need to review one person's feedback only, get_response pulls the full data record just using that response's unique ID number. To see everything submitted for a given poll—a massive dump of every single submission record—you use list_responses.

This function lets you do mass reviews across an entire survey ID. You can also get the overall status and details of submissions by listing all responses with list_responses.

Putting It All Together: Workflow Management

The server gives your AI client full control over structured user data collection, letting you manage the whole lifecycle without ever leaving your chat window. After setting up a survey with create_survey, you use get_survey to confirm its status and details, then use list_collectors to verify that all intended distribution channels are active for it.

If you've already added contacts using create_contact, you can review the entire list using list_contacts. When you need deep analysis on submissions, your agent retrieves every single response record by calling list_responses. You don't have to pull data from different platforms; this server handles everything: building surveys, managing who takes them, and collecting all the resulting feedback.

It’s designed so that whether you're adding a new collector using create_collector, reviewing an old poll with get_survey, or deleting it completely with delete_survey, your AI agent controls every step.

Here's how it actually works

The bottom line is, it lets you treat complex data management—like creating a collector or listing all contacts—as simple conversation commands.

First, tell your agent which data set or resource you need. For example, 'List all surveys I have.'

The server executes the relevant tool (e.g., list_surveys) and returns a list of IDs or names to your AI client.

You then prompt the agent again with the specific action: 'Get responses for survey ID 452.' The server runs list_responses and delivers the data.

Who is this actually for?

Marketing analysts who dread manual dashboard updates. Operations managers needing to track product feedback at scale. Research teams that run high-volume user studies and need structured reporting fast. If your job involves gathering data from people, you'll use this.

Product Manager

Uses list_responses to pull all feedback for a feature launch and asks the agent to summarize common pain points.

Marketing Analyst

Runs create_collector when launching a campaign, then uses get_response later to see how one specific user responded.

UX Researcher

Uses list_surveys to check which research tracks are active and runs update_survey if they need to change the core questions on the fly.

What Changes When You Connect

Stop jumping between tabs. Instead of manually logging into the survey platform to list all active surveys, you just tell your agent to run list_surveys. It pulls that roster directly into your conversation history.

Deep dive into feedback without exporting CSVs. Use get_response and feed the raw data record straight to your AI client for immediate analysis on sentiment or keywords. No manual copy/pasting required.

Scale up your user base management. Instead of maintaining a separate spreadsheet, you use list_contacts to see who's in your database and create_contact to add them programmatically via chat.

Maintain data integrity with confidence. If a survey is retired, don't just archive it—use delete_survey. This permanently removes the tool from circulation, preventing accidental use.

Build robust campaigns easily. Need multiple ways to reach people? Use create_collector to set up new distribution channels and then link them directly to your main survey ID.

See it in action

01 01

The Product Launch Debrief

A PM needs a full picture of the beta test. They prompt their agent: 'Give me all feedback for Beta Survey.' The agent runs list_responses on the correct survey ID, gathering every single piece of data point from hundreds of users into one stream for immediate review.

02 02

Fixing a Bad Campaign Flow

A Marketing Manager realizes their new campaign is going to fail if they don't adjust the target audience list. They use list_contacts to audit who signed up, then run create_collector to push an updated link only to the correct segment.

03 03

Audit and Cleanup

The Research Lead finishes a study and needs to clean house. They use list_surveys to see everything active, then use delete_survey on old, irrelevant forms, ensuring the system is accurate for the next project.

04 04

One-Off Data Retrieval

A sales rep needs to check if a specific client submitted feedback. Instead of searching through dashboards, they provide the ID and ask their agent to run get_response, pulling only that single data record for them.

The honest tradeoffs

Assuming all data is in one place

Anti-pattern

Telling the agent: 'Just give me all the user feedback and contacts.' This fails because it mixes two separate domains (survey data vs. contact list) without specific instructions.

The Fix

You need to specify the resource type and function. First, use list_contacts for the people roster. Then, use list_responses along with a survey ID to get the actual feedback.

Modifying data without checking status

Anti-pattern

Running update_survey right after launch and changing core questions. This risks confusing users or breaking required data fields.

The Fix

Always check the survey first using get_survey to review current settings and ensure you know what's already in place before making changes with update_survey.

Over-relying on one tool

Anti-pattern

Only using list_surveys when you actually need the data. Seeing a survey listed isn't the same as having its content.

The Fix

List the surveys with list_surveys, then use that ID to run get_survey to pull the actual questions and details.

When It Fits, When It Doesn't

Use SurveyMethods if your primary workflow involves collecting, tracking, or analyzing structured feedback from people. It's essential when you need programmatic control over survey lifecycle management—specifically creating (create_survey), updating (update_survey), and retrieving detailed records (get_response). Don't use this just because you want to send a message; it’s not a messaging tool. If your goal is merely communication or sending notifications, look at dedicated messaging APIs. Use this if the data source is user feedback or respondent profiles; otherwise, don't bother connecting it.
