Documentation Overview
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.
- 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
Or install as a plugin from this repo:
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
Gemini CLI
Codex
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in your project):
Then authenticate with:
Anything else
Any MCP client that supports remote servers (Streamable HTTP + OAuth) works. For stdio-only clients, bridge with mcp-remote:
To explore the tool list interactively:
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:launchscope) - 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):
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
.claude-plugin/plugin.json + .mcp.json | Claude Code plugin wrapping the remote server |
.claude-plugin/marketplace.json | Makes this repo installable as a Claude Code plugin marketplace |
.cursor-plugin/marketplace.json | Same, for Cursor's plugin system |
gemini-extension.json | Gemini CLI extension (gemini extensions install <repo url>) |
server.json | Manifest for the official MCP registry |

Not scored for repo-hosted servers — we can't reach the running server, only its GitHub page. Hosted MCP endpoints are health-checked live.

A guidance signal from public completeness & health data — not a user rating. New listings start lower and rise as they add docs, get verified, and grow adoption. Signals we can't observe for a listing are skipped, not counted against it.
Supply-chain signal
1 high-severity advisory on record for this package. Most advisories affect transitive dependencies and may not be exploitable in this server's actual usage — this is a directional signal, not a security audit.
