Run UX research from a chat — create card sorts, list studies, pull stats directly from Claude.

ValidateThat MCP gives Claude direct access to your ValidateThat account so you can design and create real UX research studies from a chat. Describe what you want to validate — Claude designs the study, calls the MCP tool, and hands you a participant share link.

What Claude can do

• validatethat_create_card_sort — Spin up open, closed, or hybrid card sort studies. Auto-dedupes hover/active variants. Returns a participant share link and a dashboard URL.
• validatethat_list_studies — Gives Claude context on what you've already shipped. Returns id, title, type, status, response count, and links.
• validatethat_get_study_summary — Headline stats for a study: response count + completion guidance ("you have 8 responses, aim for 20–30 for a stable sort"). Use this to decide when to analyze.

Example prompt

I'm refactoring our dashboard nav. Cards are Profile, Settings, Billing, Team, API tokens, Logs, Webhooks, Help, Pricing, Status. Run an open card sort to see how users group these.

Claude calls validatethat_create_card_sort. Study is live in your dashboard, share link in the reply.

Setup

1. Generate an API token at validatethat.io/dashboard/settings → Integrations (free)
2. Add to your Claude config (Desktop, Code, or claude.ai):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "validatethat": {
      "url": "https://validatethat.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer vt_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Claude — validatethat_* tools become available in any chat.

Same server URL across Claude Desktop, claude.ai (browser integrations), and Claude Code. Bearer-token auth (no OAuth setup). Free within normal ValidateThat account limits — no MCP-specific upsell.

Pricing
Free tier: up to 3 studies, same as the web dashboard. Pro and Team plans available for higher volume.

Roadmap
v0.2: Tree test creation, survey creation, raw response data as an MCP resource
OAuth flow as an alternative to bearer tokens
