The Dscout MCP unlocks your study data and lets your favorite AI tools use it as real-time context, bringing your research projects in-line with your AI workflows. Say goodbye to copying responses and pasting them into Claude for help with analysis. Gone are the days of building prototypes in one tool and designing research around them in another. With the Dscout MCP, you can do it all in the tools you're already using.
Use cases
Some key use cases for the Dscout MCP include:
- Study building and management: Work with the Dscout MCP to design and build a Dscout study that meets your research goals. Define your recruitment criteria, provide any prototypes or concepts you want to test, and draft a launch-ready study right in your AI workflow.
- Mission recaps and summaries: Need a quick rundown of the results from a recent study you ran? With the Dscout MCP, you can get a high-level summary of key takeaways or action items based on real participant responses.
- Artifact creation: Want to turn your study results into shareable PDFs or visuals? The Dscout MCP can help by leveraging the asset-creation capabilities of your favorite AI tools.
- Cross-mission analysis: The Dscout MCP can help you compare responses from multiple Dscout studies at once. Simply tell the MCP which studies you want to analyze, then start asking questions.
Limitations
The Dscout MCP can do a lot but currently has a few limitations. The Dscout MCP cannot:
- Build media surveys, AI moderated studies, intercept studies, diary studies, or interview studies. However, you can use the MCP to analyze any study type except for diary and interview studies.
- Include piped responses in study questions.
- Recruit from Partner Panels or Private Panels.
- Include rich-text formatting in question prompts, study overviews, etc.
The Dscout MCP also utilizes the LLM in use by your chosen AI tool, not an LLM internal to Dscout. Therefore, your experience will vary across platforms. For example, the results you see in Figma Make will vary from those in Claude.
