What you can do with the Userbrain MCP
Once connected, your AI assistant can:
List your tests: Get an overview of every usability test in your account, including each test's name, status, target URL, video count, and language.
Look up a specific test: Pull up a test's details and the task instructions given to testers.
Read your insights: Get the key findings Userbrain surfaced from analyzing videos.
Review tasks: See the exact instructions testers were given for any test.
List tester sessions. Get the recorded videos available for a test.
You can ask in plain language, for example:
"Show me all my Userbrain tests."
"What are the main insights from my checkout test?"
"What tasks did testers get in my onboarding test?"
Your AI assistant picks the right tool automatically and summarizes the results for you.
Before you start
You'll need:
An existing Userbrain account with at least one test.
An MCP-compatible AI tool, such as Claude or ChatGPT.
The Userbrain MCP server URL:
https://mcp.userbrain.com/mcp
If your company has already added the Userbrain connector for everyone, you can skip straight to Connecting when your admin already added Userbrain below.
Connecting in ChatGPT
Userbrain isn't listed in the ChatGPT app store yet, so you need to add it manually as a custom connector for now.
In ChatGPT, open Settings and go to Apps.
Click Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
Click Create, name the connector (e.g. "Userbrain"), and enter the MCP URL:
https://mcp.userbrain.com/mcpClick Create, then Connect.
Log in to Userbrain when prompted and authorize access. This uses OAuth, so your Userbrain password is never shared with ChatGPT.
Once connected, you can start a new chat and ask a question about your tests to confirm it's working:
Connecting in Claude
Userbrain isn't listed as an official Claude connector yet, so you need to add it manually as a custom connector for now.
In Claude, open Settings and go to Connectors.
Choose to add a custom connector and enter the Userbrain MCP URL:
https://mcp.userbrain.com/mcpAdd the connector, then click Connect.
You'll be redirected to log in to Userbrain and authorize the connection. Sign in with your existing Userbrain account.
Once authorized, Claude can access your Userbrain data in any conversation. Try asking, "Show me all my Userbrain tests."
Connecting when your admin already added Userbrain
If an administrator on your team has already installed the Userbrain connector company-wide, you don't need to add it yourself. You just need to authenticate:
Go to Connectors (or Manage Connectors) in your AI tool's settings.
Find Userbrain in the Not Connected list.
Click Connect and log in to your Userbrain account to authorize access.
Your access is tied to your own Userbrain login, so you'll only ever see data your account already has permission to see.
Security and permissions
Authentication happens through OAuth: You log in to Userbrain directly, and no passwords are shared with your AI tool.
Access respects your existing Userbrain account permissions: Connecting to MCP doesn't grant you access to anything you couldn't already see in Userbrain.
The current version is read-only: Your AI tool can view tests, insights, tasks, and tester sessions, but it can't change anything in your account.
Known limitations
This first version of the Userbrain MCP is intentionally focused. It doesn't yet support:
Creating tests or ordering testers. You'll still do that in Userbrain directly.
Editing or deleting data. All five tools are read-only.
Every AI tool. Support currently covers MCP-compatible clients like Claude and ChatGPT. If your tool isn't listed above but supports custom MCP connectors, the same URL should still work.
