Requirements

  • A Listen Labs account with access to at least one organization
  • An MCP client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth

Quick Start

Connect your client

Add the Listen Labs MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex and authenticate with OAuth.

Permissions

When you approve access, the MCP integration can:
  • View studies and their details in organizations you belong to
  • Read completed respondent transcripts and analysis from those studies
  • Create and edit studies where you have edit access
  • Launch studies and start recruitment where you have permission to do so
The integration acts as you and respects the same permissions as the web app. It only sees and changes studies your Listen Labs user already has access to. Creating and editing require edit access on the study or organization, launching requires permission to start recruitment, and read-only tools require at least view access.

Server URL

https://listenlabs.ai/mcp
You can also use https://mcp.listenlabs.ai/mcp (equivalent endpoint). The server uses stateless Streamable HTTP: each request is independent. There are no long-lived MCP sessions to manage.
