Survey Mcp Server
Run agent-driven conversational surveys with structured definitions and persisted responses while you validate messaging, pricing, or onboarding flows.
Overview
Survey MCP Server is an MCP server for the Validate phase that runs conversational surveys from file-based definitions and saves structured responses for agent-led research.
What is this MCP server?
- stdio MCP server (@cyanheads/survey-mcp-server v1.0.6) with Bun runtime for local agent wiring
- Survey definitions loaded from configurable SURVEY_DEFINITIONS_PATH (default ./surveys)
- Responses stored under SURVEY_RESPONSES_PATH (default ./storage/responses) for reusable analysis
- Conversational, branching survey flow rather than static forms
- MCP_LOG_LEVEL env for debug/info/warn troubleshooting
- Package version 1.0.6 on npm as @cyanheads/survey-mcp-server
- stdio transport; default paths ./surveys and ./storage/responses
- Environment variables MCP_LOG_LEVEL, SURVEY_DEFINITIONS_PATH, SURVEY_RESPONSES_PATH

What problem does it solve?
You need structured customer or tester feedback inside your coding agent session without manually copying answers out of chat logs.
Who is it for?
Indie builders running early validation interviews, waitlist surveys, or beta feedback loops from Claude Code or Cursor with local JSON/file workflows.
Skip if: Teams that need hosted forms, panel recruiting, GDPR-compliant cloud storage, or visual survey builders without any file setup.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can administer defined surveys, persist responses to disk, and reuse that data in scope and landing decisions.
- Persisted survey response files under configured storage path
- Agent-executed conversational survey sessions from your definitions
- Repeatable local survey workflow tied to validation research
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Validation is where solo builders need fast qualitative and quantitative signal before committing to a full build; surveys are a primary instrument in that phase. Scope subphase covers narrowing what to build and who it serves—dynamic surveys collect structured answers that directly inform feature and audience decisions.
How it compares
MCP-backed survey runner with local file storage, not a hosted Typeform-style product or a generic note-taking skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is survey-mcp-server for?
Solo and indie builders who validate ideas in the agent and want conversational surveys with definitions and responses kept in project folders.
When should I use survey-mcp-server?
Use it during Validate when you are scoping the product, testing messaging, or collecting structured answers before you invest in a full build.
How do I add survey-mcp-server to my agent?
Install @cyanheads/survey-mcp-server from npm, run start:stdio with Bun, set SURVEY_DEFINITIONS_PATH and SURVEY_RESPONSES_PATH, and register the stdio MCP server in Claude Code or Cursor.
