MCP server for market research
An MCP server for market research would let an AI client call a calibrated panel the way it already calls a filesystem or a database. Lewsearch does not publish a shipped MCP package name in this repo. The public platform page says REST v1 is shipped and MCP is on the roadmap. What you can install today is npm install lewsearch and POST /api/v1/cohort/query.
Cite the docs, not a guessed package
This page exists because developer buyers search for MCP the same way they search for an npm package. The only integration names Lewsearch prints today are lewsearch on npm and POST /api/v1/cohort/query. Those lines live on /api-docs and /enterprise. The launch-terms list on /platform is the source for the MCP roadmap clause. When an MCP package ships, that page and this one should print the same install line.
Worked example: an agent that must not guess
An internal copilot is asked which of two subject lines a national adult panel prefers. Today the implementer wraps the REST endpoint, passes two to six options, and reads distribution plus confidence.tier. That is an MCP-shaped job implemented over HTTP. The miss on the underlying panel is still 7.47% on 404 questions (methodology). An MCP wrapper would not change the error file.
| Surface | Status on the public site |
|---|---|
| REST API | Shipped. POST /api/v1/cohort/query |
| npm SDK | Shipped. npm install lewsearch |
| MCP server | On the roadmap per /platform. No package name published. |
| Accuracy | 7.47% mean absolute error on 404 ex-electoral questions of a 460-question benchmark vs real polls (Pew, Gallup, UT/Texas Politics Project, PPIC) |
FAQ
- Does Lewsearch ship an MCP server?
- Not as a named, documented package in the public docs. The /platform page states: "We ship REST v1 embed (MCP on roadmap)." Do not invent an npx or package name that is not printed there.
- What can a developer integrate today?
- The typed SDK (npm install lewsearch) and POST /api/v1/cohort/query, documented on /api-docs. Enterprise deployments add per-seat API keys.
- Why do buyers search for an MCP server?
- They want a research panel inside Claude, ChatGPT, or an internal agent without building a custom HTTP wrapper. Until Lewsearch publishes an MCP package, the honest path is REST plus the npm client.
- Is the REST panel the same engine as the website?
- 7.47% mean absolute error on 404 ex-electoral questions of a 460-question benchmark vs real polls (Pew, Gallup, UT/Texas Politics Project, PPIC). Check confidence.tier on every response before leaning on a number.
