【MCP Server】SurveyMonkey × Claude Desktop 連携ガイド | AI でデータを徹底活用

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging, open-source standard for connecting LLMs with external services and data sources. Through MCP Servers, AI clients can perform actions like opening Jira tickets, posting Slack messages, committing GitHub branches and more. With CData MCP Servers, these capabilities expand exponentially.

In this article, we guide the reader through installing the CData MCP Server for SurveyMonkey, configuring the connection to SurveyMonkey, and asking questions of the data in Claude Desktop.

Prerequisites

You need to download Claude Desktop (download) and create an account before continuing.

Overview

Here's a quick overview of the steps:

1. Download and install the CData MCP Server for SurveyMonkey
2. Configure the connection to SurveyMonkey
3. Ask questions about the data in Claude Desktop

Step 1: Download and install the CData MCP Server

1. To begin, navigate to https://www.cdata.com/solutions/mcp/connectors and download the CData MCP Server for SurveyMonkey.
2. Find and double-click the installer to begin the installation.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

When the installation is complete, you are ready to configure your MCP Server by connecting to SurveyMonkey.

Step 2: Configure the connection to SurveyMonkey

1. After installation, the CData MCP Server configuration wizard should open automatically.

   NOTE: If the wizard does not open automatically, search for "CData MCP Server" in the Windows search bar and double-click the application.

2. Click the dropdown menu in MCP Configuration > Configuration Name and select ""
3. Name the configuration (e.g. "cdatasurveymonkey") and click "OK."

   NOTE: This name is used as the name for the MCP server and as the prefix for all of the MCP Server's tools.

   

4. Connecting to SurveyMonkey

   SurveyMonkey はOAuth 2 認証標準を利用しています。SurveyMonkey がアンケートの回答を読むためにこれを必要とすることを考えると、アンケートを読むアカウントには有料プランのサブスクリプションが必要です。

   SurveyMonkey への接続に使用できる認証方法は2つあります。

   • プライベートoauth アプリケーションを登録するときに、パーソナルアクセストークンを使用します。
   • パブリックoauth アプリケーションを登録するときに、OAuth を使用します。

   パーソナルアクセストークンの使用

   個人用トークンを使用して、自分のデータをテストし、アクセスします。個人用トークンを取得するには、ヘルプの「Creating a Custom OAuth App」の手順に従って、次の接続プロパティを設定します。

   • OAuthAccessToken：アプリケーション設定で生成されたAccessToken に設定。
   • InitiateOAuth：OFF に設定。

   OAuth の使用

   CData 製品はすでにSurveyMonkey にOAuth アプリケーションとして登録されています。そのため、デフォルトでは、自動的に埋め込みクレデンシャルを使用して接続します。

   独自のカスタムOAuth アプリを使用したい場合は、ヘルプのCustom Credentials を参照してください。

   Enter the appropriate connection properties in the configuration wizard.

   
5. Click "Connect" to authenticate with SurveyMonkey through OAuth.

   NOTE: The configuration wizard should open your browser and ask you to sign into SurveyMonkey. If your browser does not open, close the configuration wizard and re-open the application using "Run as Administrator" (see below).

   
6. Finally, click "Save Configuration" to save the MCP server.

   NOTE: This saves the configuration details to a separate file and updates the Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json) to start the CData MCP Server when the Claude Desktop client starts.

With the CData MCP Server configured, you are ready to start asking questions of your live data from Claude.

Step 3: Ask AI for answers from live SurveyMonkey のデータ

Now that we have installed the CData MCP Server and configured a connection, we are ready to start with SurveyMonkey のデータ in Claude Desktop.

1. Open Claude Desktop. It may take a moment for the MCP Servers to start, but you will see the list of servers and tools available in the Claude interface (look for the settings icon below the prompt bar).

   You can individually enable and disable specific tools by clicking on the server name.

2. Now that you have connected, you can ask Claude questions about the SurveyMonkey のデータ. For example: "Can you give me a quantitative analysis about my closed-won opportunities by industry?"

   NOTE: Claude may need to explore the SurveyMonkey のデータ to make sense of it before it can begin answering questions of the data. The tabular model presented by CData alongside the database tools available simplify the data exploration and analysis for an LLM.
