Conveo MCP Server for Claude

Overview

Conveo exposes an official remote Model Context Protocol server for AI-led qualitative research. Connected assistants can design studies, manage research objectives and questions, attach stimuli, configure quotas, run analyses, and work with recruitment workflows inside a Conveo account.

Documentation lives at conveo.ai/docs/api-reference/mcp. The server is registered as ai.conveo/conveo with endpoint https://app.conveo.ai/api/mcp.

Features

• Study creation and configuration, including welcome pages and settings.
• Research objective and question management with routing logic.
• Stimuli creation and asset attachment.
• Analysis sessions, study queries, and interview clip search.
• Quote reel listing and snippet download preparation.
• Recruitment overview and participant reporting tools.

Use Cases

• Draft an interview guide from a research brief inside Claude Code.
• Add screening questions and quota groups before launching a study.
• Search interview clips for evidence supporting a product insight.
• Update stimuli links after creative assets change.
• Review recruitment status without leaving the coding environment.

Installation

Claude Code

Add to .claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Conveo": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://app.conveo.ai/api/mcp",
      "oauthClientId": "7326f7bf-48d6-4b75-a418-0c9c0d8eb901"
    }
  }
}

Authenticate when Conveo tools are first invoked.

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add the same Conveo entry, then restart Claude Desktop.

CLI shortcut

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

Confirm OAuth client settings match Conveo docs if your client requires them explicitly.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "conveo": {
      "url": "https://app.conveo.ai/api/mcp",
      "type": "http",
      "oauthClientId": "7326f7bf-48d6-4b75-a418-0c9c0d8eb901"
    }
  }
}

Leave the OAuth client secret empty per Conveo documentation.

Examples

Create a study outline

Create a Conveo study for concept testing of a new snack package with three research objectives.

Query clips

Search interview clips in my active study for mentions of price sensitivity.

Update a question

Add a follow-up question about purchase intent after the product exposure block.

Security

• Treat participant data as sensitive; follow Conveo's trust center and your organization's retention policy.
• Revoke OAuth access when offboarding researchers or shared machines.
• Preview study changes before publishing to live respondents.

Troubleshooting

OAuth redirect failures

Confirm the OAuth client ID matches Conveo docs and that your MCP client supports OAuth 2.0.

Tools missing after restart

Fully quit and relaunch Claude Desktop; some clients read MCP config only at startup.

Permission errors on study edits

Verify the signed-in Conveo user owns or can edit the target study.

Analysis session empty

Ensure interviews have completed and indexing finished before querying clips or themes.
