Connect Morch to Claude via MCP

Morch Team··5 min read

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP is an open protocol that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external tools and data sources. When you add Morch as an MCP server, Claude can directly access your research projects, run interviews, and query insights — all through natural conversation.

Prerequisites

  • A Morch account with at least one organization
  • Claude Desktop (macOS/Windows) or Claude Code (CLI)

Step 1: Get your MCP server URL

Your MCP server URL is the same for all Morch users. The authentication happens through an OAuth flow when Claude first connects.

The URL is: https://mcp.usemorch.com/sse

Step 2: Add to Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop configuration file and add the Morch MCP server:

claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "morch": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.usemorch.com/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

On macOS, this file is located at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. On Windows, it's at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json.

Step 2b: Add to Claude Code (CLI)

If you're using Claude Code, add the MCP server with:

claude mcp add morch -- npx mcp-remote https://mcp.usemorch.com/sse

Step 3: Authorize the connection

After restarting Claude, the first time you use a Morch tool, you'll be redirected to authorize the connection via OAuth. Sign in with your Morch account and grant access.

What you can do

Once connected, you can ask Claude to:

  • List your projects — "Show me my research projects"
  • Get interview links — "Get the interview link for my onboarding research"
  • View responses and insights — "Summarize the responses from my pricing research"
  • Create new projects — "Create a new research project about feature prioritization"

Troubleshooting

Claude doesn't see Morch tools: Make sure you've restarted Claude Desktop after updating the config file. Check that the JSON is valid.

OAuth flow doesn't complete: Ensure you're signed in to Morch in your browser and that pop-ups aren't blocked.

Connection times out: Check your internet connection. If the issue persists, try removing and re-adding the MCP server.
