Common questions

Is Minds: Synthetic Market Research Panels safe?

It passed 0 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.0.2) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Minds MCP Server

Run AI market research from your assistant: build synthetic Audiences and run Studies for concept testing, message testing, and segment comparison.

Endpoint: https://getminds.ai/mcp (streamable HTTP) Docs: https://getminds.ai/mcp/setup Quick-start guide: https://minds-ai-co.github.io/minds-mcp/ Technical reference: https://minds-mcp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ GitBook: https://minds-1.gitbook.io/minds-mcp/ Client compatibility: https://minds-mcp-compatibility.pages.dev/ Setup generator: https://minds-mcp-setup-generator.netlify.app/ Public API explorer: https://minds-api-explorer.vercel.app/?utm_source=content&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=content-seo-mcp-reference&utm_content=mcp-repository-api-explorer API + MCP integration lab: https://minds-api-mcp-integration-lab-bba685.gitlab.io/?utm_source=content&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=content-seo-mcp-reference&utm_content=mcp-repository-integration-lab Archived release: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21711429 Auth: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (dynamic client registration or Client ID Metadata Documents), or a Minds API key (Authorization: Bearer minds_…)

This repository is documentation for a hosted MCP server. There is no code to

install or run. The server is operated by Minds and the

implementation lives in our application, not here.

Documentation maintenance

reference/ is the single source for maintained integration content. Read the Docs and GitBook publish the same Markdown through repository sync. GitHub Pages, Cloudflare Pages, and the Netlify setup generator are intentionally thin, platform-specific surfaces; Zenodo preserves versioned release snapshots. See DOCUMENTATION.md for the publishing contract.

What it does

Minds is a synthetic market research platform. This MCP server lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other MCP client run customer research end to end without leaving the assistant.

Describe an audience in a brief ("German Gen Z grocery shoppers", "enterprise IT buyers in fintech") and the server runs deep web research to ground that audience in government statistics, peer-reviewed studies, and industry reports rather than in generic model priors. Then ask the Audience a question, run a structured Study, and export the results.

Typical jobs:

  • Concept testing and message testing before creative production
  • Ad pretesting, landing page audits, and packaging tests with per-segment reactions
  • Buyer persona validation and objection discovery for B2B go to market
  • Segment comparison and positioning checks across markets
  • Screening research hypotheses before commissioning fieldwork with real respondents

Studies run durably server side, so a long study survives the chat session that started it. Results export to PDF, DOCX, PPTX, Markdown, CSV, XLS, and SPSS SAV.

Scope. Minds does not replace representative human fieldwork. It replaces the slow first pass: sharpening the question, surfacing objections, and deciding which assumptions deserve real-respondent validation.

Setup

ChatGPT

Enable developer mode under Settings → Security and login, then open Plugins and select the plus button. Add https://getminds.ai/mcp as a public HTTPS connection, choose OAuth, and sign in to Minds. Availability depends on your account and workspace policy.

Study results can render as interactive widgets inline. See the official OpenAI connection guide and the Minds setup guide.

Claude Desktop and claude.ai

Customize, then Connectors, then add https://getminds.ai/mcp as a remote connector and authorize via OAuth.

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http mindsai https://getminds.ai/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer minds_YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor

Settings, then MCP, then add https://getminds.ai/mcp and authorize via OAuth. The repository also contains a Marketplace-ready Cursor plugin manifest at .cursor-plugin/plugin.json; its MCP configuration is intentionally kept in cursor.mcp.json so the shared Agent Plugins configuration can retain the portable streamable-http transport name.

Google Antigravity
agy plugins install https://github.com/minds-ai-co/minds-mcp

The root plugin.json and mcp_config.json make this repository an Antigravity plugin. Antigravity discovers OAuth from the hosted endpoint; authenticate under Settings, then Customizations. To add only the server, run agy mcp add --type http minds https://getminds.ai/mcp or put {"mcpServers": {"minds": {"serverUrl": "https://getminds.ai/mcp"}}} in ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json. Full guide: https://getminds.ai/guide/integration-antigravity

Gemini CLI remains supported for Google Cloud enterprise and API-key users. Its legacy extension manifest stays available as gemini-extension.json.

ChatGPT and Codex Plugins

The repository includes the shared plugin package at .codex-plugin/plugin.json and its remote server configuration in .mcp.json. The public directory listing uses the same hosted endpoint and maintained reference content.

VS Code (Copilot), Windsurf, Langdock, Open WebUI

Add https://getminds.ai/mcp as a remote MCP server. Full per-client instructions, including API key setup, are at https://getminds.ai/mcp/setup.

API keys

Generate one in the Minds app under Settings → API Keys. Keys start with minds_ and are passed as Authorization: Bearer minds_....

Tools

The server advertises 45 tools. Clients read the current schemas at runtime; the full list with access levels is in reference/tools.md.

ToolWhat it does
list_audiencesLists the authenticated user's Audiences, most recently updated first, one page at a time (limit, default 20, and offset; nextOffset continues), with Mind counts, sharing state, and links.
import_audience_sourcesImports supplied UTF-8 text, Markdown, CSV and JSON research files into account-owned storage.
create_audience_from_briefBuilds grounded Audience/Mind profiles with exact segment allocation.
get_audience_creation_progressRead-only; never starts or retries work.
render_audience_reviewShows source research, distributions, proposed Minds, the draft and training for one or more Audience operations, display only: the user confirms or asks for changes in chat.
get_audience_limitsReturns the authenticated account's current plan (planName, as the app names it), its Audience size allowance (per-Audience cap including any team or contract allowance, customSizeMax, per-mode ceilings) and the synthetic responses left, read live; it supersedes limits stated elsewhere.
ask_audienceAsks exactly one standalone question of one existing Audience.
export_audienceExports an Audience brief or kind validation_report (scores, KPIs, answer shares, provenance) as Markdown/PDF/DOCX/PPTX.
duplicate_audienceAdds an independent copy of an Audience, its Minds and retained knowledge.
recalibrate_audienceChanges an existing Audience in place: it keeps its id, its Minds keep theirs (except copies below), and no Mind is deleted.
manage_audience_supportManage owner-issued, expiring staff access to one Audience’s composition and receipts.
list_studiesLists the authenticated user's Studies, most recently updated first, one page at a time: limit (default 20) and offset, with nextOffset to continue.
create_studyCreates a Study workspace from existing Audiences or inline Audience configurations.
ask_studySubmits exactly one respondent-visible question: one standalone question, or one adaptive follow-up whose wording could not be known before earlier results.
get_study_statusReturns Study progress, Audience results, Mind responses and export status in the Study display locale.
render_study_resultsShows finished question/run results, summaries, Audience breakdowns and Mind responses, including partial runs.
export_studyQueues Study results export: executive/full reports in PDF/DOCX/PPTX/Markdown; raw CSV/XLS/SPSS SAV.
duplicate_studyPermanently copy a Study with its questions and results over the same Audiences.
export_heatmapExports a completed website heatmap by Study/message ID as a ZIP of stored screenshots and overlays.
get_study_heatmapReads saved heatmaps of an assigned question asset.
start_study_heatmapStarts attention analysis of an assigned image, video or website.
export_mindExports an existing Mind by ID/name: inline Markdown by default, or PDF/DOCX/PPTX.
get_shared_mind_knowledgeReturns stored public Mind sources/assessments by share ID, including shares outside the private workspace.
create_study_planCreates a non-executing draft in an existing Study with its Audiences already attached.
revise_study_planRevises one saved draft at its current draft.id and draft.revision without starting research.
get_study_planReads the latest saved revision and full review of one draft.
attach_study_audiencesAdds existing accessible Audiences without removing others, planning or starting research.
render_study_planShows a saved Study draft at its current revision for interactive review and confirmation.
start_study_runRuns one reviewed draft revision after explicit confirmation in a later user turn; skipping review is not confirmation.
resume_study_runResumes an existing plan-limited Study run in place after explicit user approval and the required paid-plan entitlement.
cancel_study_questionStops one standalone Study question by runId, or studyId and questionId: queued or preparing stops at once, being answered stops at its next step.
update_itemRenames a Study or Audience or moves it into a folder.
set_sharingTurns a Study's or Audience's public link or team sharing on or off.
list_research_methodsReads the fixed Minds research-method catalog in one operation, including availability, complexity and fallback method.
list_study_draftsLists a page of unfinished Study draft summaries, newest first, or returns the complete saved planning state for one exact draft ID.
