Connect Hearsay to Claude, ChatGPT or VS Code and run your surveys from the chat: draft a survey from a sentence, change it, publish it, and ask what customers said. Where the app supports it, surveys, share links and results appear as interactive cards. Every plan, Free included, can connect. The server address is https://hearsay.co.in/mcp.
1.Claude
On claude.ai or Claude desktop, open Customize → Connectors, choose Add → Add custom connector, name it Hearsay and paste https://hearsay.co.in/mcp. Then choose Connect and sign in to Hearsay.
Claude on iPhone and Android uses the connectors you added on the web or desktop; it can’t add one itself.
Team and Enterprise plans: an owner adds the connector for the organization first, then each person connects their own Hearsay account.
2.ChatGPT
In ChatGPT on the web (Plus or higher), open Plugins, choose Add → Add custom MCP server, name it Hearsay and paste https://hearsay.co.in/mcp. Keep OAuth, confirm, and choose Create as a plugin. Then choose Connect and sign in to Hearsay.
In a chat, ask for Hearsay by name, or pick it from the + menu. Once Hearsay is in ChatGPT’s directory, you can add it from there instead.
3.VS Code
In VS Code with GitHub Copilot, run “MCP: Add Server” from the Command Palette, choose HTTP, paste https://hearsay.co.in/mcp and name it hearsay. VS Code opens your browser to sign in.
To see the cards inside Copilot Chat, turn on the chat.mcp.apps.enabled setting. Without it you get the same answers as text.
4.Other apps
Any app that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP with OAuth sign-in can connect, such as Cursor: give it https://hearsay.co.in/mcp. Apps without interactive cards get a text answer for every step, with links to open the same page in Hearsay.
5.What happens when you connect
Hearsay asks which workspace the app may use and what it may do. Seeing your surveys is always on; the rest you choose. A connection only ever reaches the one workspace you picked.
New to Hearsay? After you create your account you set up your workspace (its name, and whether it’s for a business or just you), then come straight back to finish connecting.
Viewers in a workspace can connect, but only to read. The app can never see billing or manage members.
- See your surveys
- Read surveys, their questions and share links, and browse templates.
- Create and edit surveys
- Make and change surveys, and delete them when you ask. Deleted surveys stay in Trash for 30 days.
- Publish surveys
- Open a survey to respondents, close it and reopen it.
- Read results
- See results and quotes from open-text answers.
6.What the app can do
These are the tools the app sees. Publishing, closing and deleting change things, so the app asks you before it runs them, and it runs them only when you ask.
- list_surveys
- Lists the workspace’s surveys with their status and response counts.
- get_survey
- Shows one survey’s questions and what still blocks publishing.
- create_survey
- Makes a new draft from a title and questions, or from a template.
- edit_survey
- Changes a draft: add, reword, reorder or remove questions, pages and endings.
- publish_survey
- Opens the survey to the public and gives its share link. Asks first.
- close_survey
- Stops new responses. Existing answers stay. Asks first.
- delete_survey
- Moves a survey to Trash, closing it if it’s live. Asks first. Restore it in Hearsay within 30 days; after that it and its responses are deleted for good.
- get_share_kit
- The public link, a link per channel, QR codes and embed code.
- get_results
- Response counts, completion, NPS and per-question charts, with filters.
- search_responses
- Quotes from open-text answers, filtered by score, channel or date.
- list_templates
- Hearsay’s templates by category, to start a survey from one.
- create_report
- Makes a read-only link to the results, to share with your team.
7.Things to ask
- Make a survey
- “Make a short survey for customers who just picked up an order from our café: how was it, what should we add to the menu, and would they recommend us.”
- Change it
- “Make the recommend question 0–10 and add an optional email question at the end.”
- Publish
- “Publish it and give me a QR code for the counter.”
- Results
- “How is the café survey doing this week? Compare Instagram with the counter QR code.”
- What people said
- “What did people who scored us 6 or lower complain about? Show me quotes.”
- Start from a template
- “Show me your post-purchase templates and start one for my shop.”
8.Respondents’ contact details
By default an AI app never sees respondents’ contact details. It sees answers to your questions, and quotes from open-text answers, but not who wrote them.
An owner or admin can change this in Hearsay under Integrations → Connected apps → AI assistant settings, with the switch “Share respondent contact details with AI assistants”. It applies to every app connected to that workspace, and Hearsay records who turned it on and when. Turn it off at any time; from the next call on, the details are hidden again.
With it on, an app can read names, emails, phone numbers, companies and job titles from contact questions, link fields you marked personal, and links to uploaded files (which open only for signed-in members of your workspace). It gets them only when you ask about a specific question, for example “emails of everyone who scored us 0–6”.
Never shared, even with it on: street addresses and IP addresses.
If you ask for contact details while the setting is off, the app tells you they’re hidden and links to the setting. Respondents gave their details to you, so check that sharing them with your AI provider fits your own privacy policy before you turn it on.
9.Answers are untrusted text
Survey answers are written by members of the public. Hearsay hands them to the app as quotes, labelled as respondent text, and tells the app never to follow instructions inside them. Publishing, closing and deleting are marked as actions that change things, so the app asks you first, and a deleted survey stays in Trash for 30 days.
10.Plans and limits
Connected apps follow your plan’s limits, the same as the web app. When a limit is reached the app says so and links to https://hearsay.co.in/plans.
To keep things fair each connection can make 60 calls a minute (20 of them changes), and each workspace 5,000 calls a day. The app is told when it can try again.
11.What leaves Hearsay
When you use Hearsay from an AI app, the survey content, results and quotes you ask for go to that app’s provider (for example Anthropic or OpenAI) because you asked for them, and are handled under that provider’s terms.
Sign-in for AI apps runs through WorkOS, which keeps your Hearsay user id, email and name for the connection. Details are in our privacy policy.
12.Disconnect
In Hearsay, open Integrations → Connected apps and choose Disconnect next to the app. It stops working on its very next call, even mid-conversation. Owners and admins can disconnect anyone’s connection to their workspace.
Then remove Hearsay in the app too: Claude under Settings → Connectors, ChatGPT under Settings → Apps, VS Code with “MCP: List Servers”.
