Build surveys, read responses and make reports in SurveyNinja from an AI assistant.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote SurveyNinja MCP server that lets an assistant build surveys, read responses and prepare reports in your SurveyNinja account.

What you can do
  • Create and edit surveys: build from scratch, a template or AI, then adjust questions, logic, design and settings and publish
  • Read and manage responses: review, tag and clean up collected answers
  • Produce reports: summaries, filtered and AI reports, exports to CSV, Excel, Word, SPSS and PDF, plus shareable public links
  • Set up delivery: notifications, webhooks, integrations and team invitations
  • Audit the account: workspace audits, member access and cleanup of test or duplicate responses
When to use it
Useful when you run surveys in SurveyNinja and want an assistant to draft and launch them, interpret the responses, or produce a report without switching tools. Also handy for checking a survey before launch and for diagnosing delivery or data-quality problems.
Requirements
A SurveyNinja account (a free plan is enough) and a client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP. Sign-in is by OAuth (choose one workspace and allow access) or, for clients without MCP sign-in, an API key sent as an Authorization Bearer header. Nothing is deployed locally.
Before you install
The server exposes 173+ tools, and 72 of them delete or overwrite data and are marked as destructive, so confirm before approving such calls. Access follows your role and plan, and an API key works across every workspace where you are owner or member until you delete it. Survey, response and report data goes to SurveyNinja's servers in the EU. Rate limit is 180 requests per minute per user, and exported file links expire after one hour.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open SurveyNinja in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.surveyninja%2Fmcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

The SurveyNinja MCP server and ready-made skills for your AI assistant. Describe a survey in plain words and the assistant builds it in your account, checks it before launch, reads the responses and prepares a report you can send.

Works in Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other assistants that connect to remote MCP servers. Every SurveyNinja plan includes it, Free too.

You:  Build a survey for our repair shop customers: rate the work and collect      contacts for a follow-up visit.AI:   ✓ picked question types  ✓ built 7 questions and 2 branches  ✓ applied a theme      The draft is ready and does not open by its link yet. Publish it?

Quick start

  1. Have a SurveyNinja account. Sign up for free if you don't have one.
  2. Add the server https://mcp.surveyninja.io/mcp/v1 to your assistant. Steps for each assistant are below.
  3. Allow access. Sign in to SurveyNinja when the assistant asks, choose a workspace and click Allow access. Most assistants need no key; for the rest, use an API key as shown below.
  4. Ask: “Show my surveys and how many responses came in this week.”

Claude Code: everything in one install

The plugin adds the MCP server and every skill at once:

text
/plugin marketplace add surveyninjaio/surveyninja-mcp/plugin install surveyninja@surveyninja

Then type /mcp, select the SurveyNinja server and sign in. The plugin is the plugin/ folder: the server and a copy of the skills, nothing else. Only the server, without the skills:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http surveyninja https://mcp.surveyninja.io/mcp/v1

Claude and ChatGPT

Claude on the web or in the desktop app: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Enter a name, for example SurveyNinja, and the server address, click Add, then Connect, and allow access in SurveyNinja. On Claude Team and Enterprise an organization owner adds the connector first, then each member connects it.

ChatGPT: turn on developer mode in the ChatGPT settings (it is available on some ChatGPT plans), create a connector with the server address and OAuth authentication, then allow access in SurveyNinja.

Other assistants

One click:

[Install in VS Code] [Install in Cursor]

Cursor

Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects, or to .cursor/mcp.json for one project, then open the MCP section in the Cursor settings and sign in to the surveyninja server:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "surveyninja": {      "url": "https://mcp.surveyninja.io/mcp/v1"    }  }}
VS Code

Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json in your project, start it from the file and sign in when VS Code asks. The server works in GitHub Copilot Chat in agent mode.

json
{  "servers": {    "surveyninja": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://mcp.surveyninja.io/mcp/v1"    }  }}
Gemini CLI

As an extension, with the server and the skills at once:

bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/surveyninjaio/surveyninja-mcp

Or only the server, in ~/.gemini/settings.json:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "surveyninja": {      "httpUrl": "https://mcp.surveyninja.io/mcp/v1"    }  }}

If Gemini CLI does not offer to sign in by itself, run /mcp auth surveyninja.

Codex

Add the server to ~/.codex/config.toml:

toml
[mcp_servers.surveyninja]url = "https://mcp.surveyninja.io/mcp/v1"

Then run codex mcp login surveyninja: SurveyNinja opens in the browser, and you click Allow access. No key goes into the file. In the Codex app, add the server under Settings → MCP servers as Streamable HTTP and select Authenticate.

Any other client

Any client that connects to remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP can use the same address. If it supports MCP sign-in (OAuth), it opens SurveyNinja for you to allow access. If it does not, pass an API key in a header:

text
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

The same configs as files are in clients/, and every step with troubleshooting is in docs/connect.md.

At a glance

Tools173+: 63 only read, 72 delete or overwrite data and are marked. Full list
PermissionsYours: the assistant can do what your role and your plan allow, nothing more
PlansEvery plan, Free included
Limits180 requests per minute per user; links to exported files work for one hour

What it can do

Surveys. Create a survey from scratch, from a template or with AI. Edit questions, logic, design and settings, then publish.

Responses. Read responses, tag them and keep the account clean.

Reports. Summary, report, report with filters and AI report. Exports to CSV, Excel, Word, SPSS and PDF, public links to share results.

Delivery. Notifications, webhooks, integrations and invitations to the team.

The full list by section is in docs/tools.md, starter phrases in docs/prompts.md.

Skills

A skill is a ready-made playbook for the assistant. You ask “sort out the open-ended answers”, and the skill tells it which tools to call, in what order and how to present the result. Skills are text instructions with no code: nothing gets installed or run. Each one is also on surveyninja.io/skills with examples of the result.

Installing skills without the plugin

One command for any assistant: skills finds the agents you have installed and asks where to put the skills.

bash
npx skills add surveyninjaio/surveyninja-mcp

Or unzip an archive into the folder your assistant reads skills from and restart it: .claude/skills/ for Claude Code, .agents/skills/ for Codex and Cursor, .gemini/skills/ for Gemini CLI. More in skills/README.md.

Security

  • With Allow access the assistant works in the one workspace you chose and loses access when you leave it or remove the connector. An API key stops working the moment you delete it in Settings → API / MCP.
  • Tools that delete or overwrite data, such as deleting responses, carry the destructiveHint annotation, so your client can ask before it calls them. Read what the assistant is about to do before you confirm.
  • Every skill has a “What not to do” section: things the assistant must not do without your word.
  • There are no secrets in this repository. Configs use YOUR_API_KEY as a placeholder. Found something that looks like a real key, or a security issue? See SECURITY.md.

Privacy

The plugin and the skills run nothing on your computer: the skills are text instructions, and the plugin only adds the server address to your client. The one connection is to https://mcp.surveyninja.io/mcp/v1 over HTTPS, and it carries what your assistant asks for: your surveys, responses and reports in your SurveyNinja account. SurveyNinja stores that data on a server in the EU behind Cloudflare and handles it under the privacy policy.
