# Outset — AI Connector Outset publishes 89 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/outset/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Data & Analytics](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/data-analytics/) # Outset AI-moderated user research from study design through synthesis Listed in Claude · 89 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://outset-ai.notion.site/outset-mcp-integration-guide-for-developers) [outset.ai](https://outset.ai/) Overview ## What Outset does Outset runs qualitative research studies with an AI moderator, covering the cycle end to end. The connector reaches study management, including creating projects and studies, publishing and unpublishing, validating readiness before launch and duplicating a study as a starting point; recruitment, covering participant-facing copy, demographic filters, audience size estimates, launches on Prolific or UserInterviews and raising participant counts or rewards mid-study; interviews, with transcripts, recording metadata and vision observations from screen shares; reports, covering answer search across participants, category summaries, topline insights and emotion observations; and a study editor for sections, questions, skip logic, screeners, stimuli and quotas. An Outset workspace is required. ### Who it is for User researchers and research operations teams running studies in Outset. ### Tool surface Eighty nine tools is a large claimed surface, consistent with a listing that names study editing, recruitment launches and report reads in the same breath, and none of it can be enumerated before a workspace login. Availability ## Where Outset is listed Outset is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Outset has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Outset publishes 89 tools to Claude, a deeper surface than 97.4% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors, the top decile. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one runs 77 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 3rd of 198 by tool count. It falls in the 51+ tools band, which holds 9.6% of the Claude directory. Outset publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Outset Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Data & Analytics Endpoint `https://api.outset.ai/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://outset-ai.notion.site/outset-mcp-integration-guide-for-developers) Published tools 89 · 51+ tools band Depth rank in Data & Analytics 3 of 198 Snapshot August 2026 Outset is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How Outset describes it > Outset is an AI-moderated user research platform that lets you run qualitative research at scale — from study design through participant recruitment to synthesized insights. This connector gives Claude direct access to your Outset workspace so you can manage the full research lifecycle without leaving your conversation: Study management — create projects and studies, publish or unpublish them, validate readiness before launch, and duplicate existing studies as starting points. Recruitment — configure participant-facing titles and descriptions, set demographic filters, estimate audience size, launch recruitment on Prolific or UserInterviews, and expand participant counts or rewards on live studies. Interviews — list completed interviews across a study or project, retrieve full transcripts with messages and recording metadata, and access vision observations captured during screen-share sessions. Reports & insights — browse reports, search answers across participants, list category summaries, and surface topline insights and emotion observations generated by Outset's analysis pipeline. Study editor — build and modify study guides: create sections and questions, configure skip logic and display conditions, set up screeners with routing rules, add concept-testing stimuli, and configure survey quotas. Connecting requires an Outset account with an active workspace. Researchers, research managers, and admins can connect; observer roles have read-only access.
