Connect the QUESTIONSTAR MCP with Claude
Step-by-step guide for Claude Desktop. The screenshots are from the current app version — the menu labels may change slightly with updates.
Requirements
- An active QUESTIONSTAR account — already signed in in your browser (with the exact account you want the AI client to connect to)
- Claude Desktop installed (macOS/Windows)
Set up the connection

- Open Claude Desktop and click your account icon at the bottom left.
- Choose Settings from the menu.

- In the sidebar, switch to Connectors.
- Click Add at the top right.
- Choose Add custom connector.

- Enter a name — e.g. “QUESTIONSTAR”.
- Under URL, enter:
https://mcp.questionstar.com/mcp. - Click Add.

- Back in the Connectors section, click Connect next to QUESTIONSTAR.
Not signed in? The QUESTIONSTAR sign-in page opens first. Sign in, then click Connect again — the second click completes the MCP connection.

- In the QUESTIONSTAR dialog: Allow, to give Claude access.
The connection is now active. Back in the chat you’ll see QUESTIONSTAR tools available.
First prompts to try
- “Show me my surveys” — a quick inventory.
- “What can I do with QUESTIONSTAR via the MCP — and how can you help me with it?” — the AI client tells you itself which tools are available. Especially useful when you’re just starting out.
For more ideas — and some surprisingly useful applications — see the “Unexpectedly useful” section of the MCP overview.
