Outset MCP

Connect AI agents to Outset — the AI-moderated research platform — via the Model Context Protocol.

The Outset MCP server is remote: there is nothing to install or run. Point your MCP client at the endpoint below and log in with your Outset account.

https://api.outset.ai/mcp/
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless JSON-RPC)
  • Auth: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE + Dynamic Client Registration — compliant clients connect with zero pre-registration
  • Full developer guide: Outset MCP — Integration Guide for Developers (OAuth flow, scopes, DCR details, testing)

Connect from your client

Claude (claude.ai / Desktop)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Outset, paste https://api.outset.ai/mcp/, then Connect to go through the OAuth consent flow. (Custom connectors require a Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan.)

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http outset https://api.outset.ai/mcp/

Or install as a plugin from this repo:

claude plugin marketplace add Outset-AI/outset-mcp
claude plugin install outset@outset-mcp

Cursor

Add to Cursor

Or Settings → MCP → Add Server and paste the URL — Cursor handles registration and OAuth automatically.

ChatGPT

Enable Developer Mode under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings, then Create a connector with https://api.outset.ai/mcp/ as the MCP server URL and OAuth as the auth method.

VS Code

code --add-mcp '{"name":"outset","type":"http","url":"https://api.outset.ai/mcp/"}'

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/Outset-AI/outset-mcp

Codex

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in your project):

[mcp_servers.outset]
url = "https://api.outset.ai/mcp/"

Then authenticate with:

codex mcp login outset

Anything else

Any MCP client that supports remote servers (Streamable HTTP + OAuth) works. For stdio-only clients, bridge with mcp-remote:

npx -y mcp-remote https://api.outset.ai/mcp/

To explore the tool list interactively:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector https://api.outset.ai/mcp/

What your agent can do

  • Create and edit studies — projects, sections, questions, screeners, display logic, quotas, concepts
  • Configure and launch recruitment — sample size, reward, demographic filters (launching may incur fees and is gated behind the separate studies:launch scope)
  • Query results — reports, answers, topline insights, category summaries, highlight clips
  • Look up org context — workspaces, projects, organization info

The live tools/list response is the source of truth — new tools ship regularly. Scopes and org roles are enforced server-side; see the integration guide for the full scope table.

What's in this repo

Manifests for agent directories and marketplaces — the server itself is not here (it's remote):

Config for your environment

Use the endpoint URL below in your config. No API key — you connect directly.

Tool

OS

Config file: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://api.outset.ai/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

Paste into mcpServers in the config file. Restart Cursor after saving.

If this MCP is also published on mcpchannel.ai, you can subscribe from Browse and use the gateway config there instead.
