Connect Claude & ChatGPT to SmartSurvey

Ask your AI what people answered in a survey, who has not responded to an invitation, or to close a survey in SmartSurvey. It can list surveys with their pages and questions, read responses with answer text, and manage contact lists and contacts. It can also create surveys and collector links, open or close a survey and send email or SMS invitations.

“What did people answer in our customer survey this week?”
The AI lists responses to the survey since Monday with the answer text, and can summarise them for you.
“Show me the questions in the staff survey.”
It finds the survey and reads its pages and questions.
“Close the event feedback survey.”
It closes the survey so it stops accepting responses. You can open it again later.

Questions

What can the AI do in SmartSurvey?

The AI can read surveys, survey folders, pages and questions, responses, result exports, collector links, invitations, invitation recipients, contact lists and contacts. It can create and update surveys, create collector links, open and close surveys, create contact lists, add contacts, send invitations and delete a response.

Does the AI see my SmartSurvey credentials?

No. Your SmartSurvey credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start by only reading surveys and responses. Sending an invitation sends real emails or texts, and deleting a response is permanent, so these can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own SmartSurvey account.

Which API host should I use?

It depends on where you sign in to SmartSurvey. If you use app.smartsurvey.co.uk or app.smartsurvey.com, the host is api.smartsurvey.io. If you sign in at app-eu.smartsurvey.com, use api-eu.smartsurvey.io, and for app-us.smartsurvey.com use api-us.smartsurvey.io.
