MCP Integration

Use Inqvey in your AI tool

Inqvey speaks the Model Context Protocol so you can run real market research from inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Continue, and any other MCP-compatible client. Pick your tool below.

Step 1 — Get your API key

Free tier includes 9 research questions. Generate a key in your account, then paste it into your client's config below.

Step 2 — Install in your client

Claude Desktop

Works today
  1. Open Claude Desktop.
  2. From the menu bar, open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. This opens claude_desktop_config.json in your editor (creates it if missing).
  3. Paste the config below, replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE with your key.
  4. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inqvey": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://inqvey.com/api/mcp/v1",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer ${INQVEY_API_KEY}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "INQVEY_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Works today

One-click install (Cursor 1.0+) — opens Cursor and adds Inqvey with a placeholder. Paste your API key after install.

Add to Cursor

Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inqvey": {
      "url": "https://inqvey.com/api/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot Chat agent mode)

Works today

Open the command palette and run MCP: Open User Configuration. Add theinqveyentry below to your mcp.json servers block.

Requires GitHub Copilot Chat agent mode (Preview).

{
  "servers": {
    "inqvey": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://inqvey.com/api/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT (custom connectors / apps)

Coming soon

ChatGPT's custom connector setup requires OAuth — it does not accept a pasted API key. We're shipping OAuth next, which will unlock both ChatGPT and claude.ai web. In the meantime, use Claude Desktop or Cursor above for full Inqvey access today.

Windsurf (Cascade)

Works today

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (or %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json on Windows). Add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inqvey": {
      "url": "https://inqvey.com/api/mcp/v1",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Continue.dev

Works today

Add to your config.yaml:

mcpServers:
  - name: inqvey
    type: streamable-http
    url: https://inqvey.com/api/mcp/v1
    requestOptions:
      headers:
        Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Cline (VS Code extension)

Works today

In the Cline panel, click the MCP Servers icon → Remote Servers tab. Pick Transport Type: Streamable HTTP, then enter:

Server nameinqvey
URLhttps://inqvey.com/api/mcp/v1
Header nameAuthorization
Header valueBearer YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Click Add Server.

Claude.ai web (Custom Connector)

Coming soon

claude.ai's Custom Connector picker requires OAuth, which we're shipping next (same work unlocks ChatGPT too). In the meantime, use Claude Desktop above for the same Claude with full Inqvey access today.

Building your own integration?

Inqvey's MCP endpoint is at https://inqvey.com/api/mcp/v1. Bearer auth, JSON-RPC 2.0 over Streamable HTTP, current MCP spec rev 2025-11-25. Discovery document at /.well-known/mcp.json.

Health check (no auth): /api/mcp/v1/health

Troubleshooting

Tools don't show up in my client
Restart the client after editing the config file. Most clients only read MCP servers at startup. If still missing, check the client's logs (e.g. ~/Library/Logs/Claude for Claude Desktop).
I'm getting 401 Unauthorized
Your API key is wrong, revoked, or has a typo. Generate a fresh key at /app/account/api-keys and replace YOUR_API_KEY_HERE in your config.
I'm getting 403 Forbidden
Your client is sending an Origin header we don't recognize (DNS rebinding protection). Email [email protected] with the client name and we'll add it to the allowlist.
Where do I check my quota?
Ask your assistant: "What's my Inqvey quota?" — it'll call the get_account_status tool. Or visit /app/account.
