Overview
The Potloc MCP server connects your Potloc account to any AI assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol. Your assistant reads your survey results, reports and questionnaires in place, so you stop exporting spreadsheets to ask questions of them.
It is a remote server. Nothing to install, nothing to host. In Claude Desktop and claude.ai it is listed in the connector directory, ready to connect. Every other client points at one URL:
https://mcp.potloc.comWho it is for
Section titled “Who it is for”Anyone with a Potloc account and access to at least one survey. You sign in with the credentials you already use on the platform, SSO included, and reach exactly the surveys you can open there. What each role unlocks is set out in Permissions and data scope.
What it can do
Section titled “What it can do”| Area | What your assistant can do |
|---|---|
| Identity | Tell you which Potloc account the connection is authenticated as. |
| Surveys | Browse the surveys you can reach, and read one’s details. |
| Questionnaires | Read a questionnaire’s full structure, and author your own. |
| Questionnaire comments | Leave notes for Potloc’s research team on a questionnaire, and read what they wrote back. |
| Questions | List the analysis-ready questions a chart can be built on. |
| Reports | Read and build reports, check the numbers behind their charts, and choose who can view each one. |
| Responses | Read questionnaire responses through one of the survey’s data layouts. |
Most tools only read. The ones that write say so in the tool reference, which lists every tool the server exposes with its arguments.
Every tool also carries a readable title for your client to label it with, and the standard MCP
annotations — readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint — so your client
can decide on its own when to ask you before acting.
What it does not do
Section titled “What it does not do”Questionnaire responses only. The server returns the answers to your survey and the analysis
built on them. Respondent-level rows appear in one place, list_responses, and only through a data
layout Potloc has published on the survey — the same layout your spreadsheet deliverable is
rendered from, carrying the same columns. No other tool returns a respondent-level row. The
tool reference has the field-by-field account.
Potloc’s own operational surfaces are not on this server either: no pricing, no deals, no sampling or fieldwork operations, no panel supply.
