Userology MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes the Userology UX research platform as tools and resources for any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

What It Does

This server wraps the Userology researcher-service REST API, giving AI assistants the ability to:

• Create & manage studies — Draft, launch, copy, and configure UX research studies
• Build interview guides — AI-generate, edit, and rephrase interview guides
• Manage sections/tasks — Add prototype testing, concept testing, voice interview, and live product research sections
• Access analytics — Get qualitative insights, quantitative metrics, Q&A analysis, and full study reports
• Use Synthesis Studio — Have AI-powered conversations to explore research findings
• View session data — Access participant lists, session transcripts, and recordings
• Analyze Figma prototypes — Extract screen context from Figma files
