Perspective AI MCP Server

Forms are costing you business. An AI concierge turns them into conversations.

MCP server for Perspective AI. An AI Concierge replaces static forms with adaptive AI conversations that understand real situations, structure key information automatically, and trigger the right next step.

Rigid forms cause drop-off, weaken qualification, and strip away context. Perspective uses adaptive AI to capture structured data and trigger automation, so you understand what truly matters to your customers and can make decisions with conviction.

What this MCP server does

Once connected, your AI assistant can design conversation agents, analyze conversations, deploy embeds, and automate follow-ups directly from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Try prompts like:

Design a Concierge that qualifies pricing-page leads by budget and timeline.

Why are people abandoning my lead-capture concierge this week?

Whenever a conversation scores above 80 on trust, push it to HubSpot and ping #sales in Slack.

See Use cases for the full workflow and Available tools for the tool surface.

Connect via OAuth (recommended)

Add the MCP URL to your client and complete a one-time browser sign-in. Tokens stay out of config files; every connected app shows up under Settings → Connected Apps in your workspace, and you can revoke access anytime.

The MCP URL is the same for everyone:

https://getperspective.ai/mcp

Cursor (Marketplace - recommended)

Install the official Perspective AI plugin from the Cursor Marketplace:

1. Open Customize in the Cursor sidebar
2. Search for "Perspective AI" in the marketplace
3. Click Install
4. Complete the OAuth flow when prompted

The plugin includes the MCP server configuration and a skill that helps your AI assistant know when to use Perspective tools.

Cursor and VS Code (manual)

Add to your mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perspective": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://getperspective.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http perspective https://getperspective.ai/mcp

Claude.ai (web and desktop)

Open the Add custom connector modal and fill:

Click Add, then complete the OAuth browser flow. (Manual path: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector. See Anthropic's guide. Available on Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.)

Other MCP clients

Stdio-only clients can use mcp-remote, which discovers OAuth metadata automatically:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perspective": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://getperspective.ai/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The first time you call a Perspective tool, your client opens a browser window to complete OAuth. Subsequent requests reuse the token.

Connect with a personal access token

If your client doesn't support OAuth or you'd rather authenticate with a long-lived token, generate one at Perspective AI Settings → MCP.

Claude Desktop one-click install

1. Download perspective.mcpb
2. Double-click to open in Claude Desktop
3. Click Install, then paste your token when prompted

Claude Code

claude mcp add perspective --transport http https://getperspective.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"

Cursor and VS Code

Add to your mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perspective": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://getperspective.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Other MCP clients

For stdio-only clients, use mcp-remote with an explicit Authorization header:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "perspective": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://getperspective.ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}

See the full MCP documentation for troubleshooting and advanced setup.

Use cases

Once installed, ask your AI assistant to drive the full perspective lifecycle: design, deploy, analyze, and automate.

• Design & iterate. Create any of four conversation agent types:

  • Interviewer: Scales deep, qualitative interviews without losing quality
  • Concierge: Replaces static forms with delightful conversational flow
  • Evaluator: Turns boring surveys into engaging conversations
  • Advocate: Listens first, then responds on behalf of a position, brand, or cause

  Browse 180+ templates or use cases by role and industry for inspiration. Example prompts:

  • "Design a Concierge that qualifies pricing-page leads by budget and timeline. Keep the tone warm, not salesy."
  • "Build an Interviewer for churn research. Find out why customers left, what alternatives they chose, and what would have kept them."
  • "Spin up an Evaluator for 30-day onboarding feedback. What's working and what's confusing?"
  • "Set up an Advocate for our refund policy. Listen first, then explain the process without sounding defensive."

• Deploy & distribute. Embed on your site or send personalized invites to specific participants:

  • "Give me the popup embed snippet for my concierge and walk me through adding it to our pricing page in Next.js."
  • "Invite our 20 design partners to my beta-feedback perspective, and prefill each person's name and email."

• Analyze: "Why are people abandoning my lead-capture concierge this week? Pull the drop-off conversations and summarize the top reasons."

• Automate: "Whenever a conversation scores above 80 on trust, push it to HubSpot as a contact and ping #sales in Slack."

Security & data

• OAuth: Tokens issued via OAuth are scoped to the workspace and tied to the connected client. Revoke anytime under Settings → Connected Apps.
• Personal access tokens: PATs are tied to your Perspective AI account and authorize the server to act on your behalf within your workspaces. Generate, rotate, or revoke at getperspective.ai/settings/mcp.
• Transport: All traffic is TLS-encrypted. Tokens are sent only in the Authorization header to https://getperspective.ai/mcp.
• Data residency: Conversation data stays inside your Perspective AI workspace. The .mcpb bundle is a thin stdio-to-HTTP proxy; it does not store or cache responses locally.
