What is Prolific Mcp Server?
Prolific Mcp Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges LLM agents to the Prolific public API, enabling AI assistants to help researchers design and launch studies. It is built with FastMCP and listed on the official MCP Registry for discovery by Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, and other MCP-aware clients.
How to use Prolific Mcp Server?
Install and run using uvx prolific-mcp or from a local checkout with uv run prolific-mcp. Set the PROLIFIC_TOKEN environment variable with a Prolific API token. The server defaults to stdio but can also run over streamable HTTP using the --http flag, with optional --host / --port overrides. Most MCP clients accept the standard command / args / env configuration.
