Simulatte

iqbalahmed7/simulatte-mcp-server

Wraps Simulatte's synthetic research platform into MCP so you can run concept tests, pricing studies, depth interviews, and 20+ other research SKUs directly from Claude or Cursor. Exposes seven tools: run studies, retrieve results, ask cross-study questions, manage persona pools, and estimate costs before you commit credits. You get structured JSON back in minutes instead of waiting days for real panels. Useful when you're iterating on messaging, testing B2B committee dynamics, or stress-testing claims before you ship. Requires a Simulatte API key from their dashboard. Each study call returns credit usage and remaining balance in response headers, so you know what you're spending as you go.
