How to use the PickFu MCP integration with AI assistants

Updated this week

The PickFu Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration lets you create and manage polls directly from AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and any other MCP-compatible tool — without leaving your AI workflow.

Connection details

Setup by tool

Claude (claude.ai, Desktop, and mobile)

Claude connects to remote MCP servers through its Connectors feature — no config files needed.

  1. In Claude, click your profile icon (bottom-left), then Customize

  2. Select Connectors

  3. Click +, then Add custom connector

  4. Enter a name (e.g., "PickFu") and the URL: https://mcp.pickfu.com/mcp

  5. Click Add

You'll be prompted to sign in to PickFu the first time Claude uses a PickFu tool. On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner must add the connector first — members can then enable it from Customize > Connectors.

Claude Code (terminal)

Run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add pickfu --transport http https://mcp.pickfu.com/mcp

Then type /mcp inside Claude Code to verify the connection and complete OAuth sign-in.

See Claude Code MCP documentation for more options.

Cursor

Option A — Settings UI:

  1. Open Cursor Settings and select MCP in the sidebar

  2. Click Add new MCP server

  3. Set type to Streamable HTTP and enter the URL: https://mcp.pickfu.com/mcp

  4. Click Save

Option B — Config file:

Add the following to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects):

{  "mcpServers": {    "pickfu": {      "url": "https://mcp.pickfu.com/mcp",      "transport": "streamable-http"    }  }}

Other AI tools

ChatGPT, Notion, OpenClaw, and other MCP-compatible tools can also connect to PickFu. See the developer documentation for setup instructions for each tool.

What you can do

Once connected, you can create and manage polls, retrieve results and AI summaries, generate images, browse audience targeting options, and more — all through natural conversation.

For the full list of tools, usage examples, and troubleshooting, see the PickFu MCP developer documentation.

FAQs

Do I need a paid PickFu plan to use the MCP?

No. The MCP integration is available to all PickFu accounts. You'll need to add credits to your PickFu account to publish polls, however.

Can I use the MCP with other AI tools?

Yes. Any MCP-compatible tool can connect using https://mcp.pickfu.com/mcp.

Can I access polls created in my PickFu dashboard?

Yes. The MCP tools work with any poll in your account.

Can I attach or drag images into the chat?

Web-based clients like Claude, ChatGPT, and Notion can't pass local files to MCP tools — dragging or pasting an image into the chat won't work. To use your own images, provide a hosted image URL. You can also pass an image URL to the AI and ask it to generate variations. Terminal tools like Claude Code can read local files directly.

I'm running into issues; how do I submit feedback?

Ask your AI assistant: "Send PickFu feedback about this issue." You can also check the troubleshooting section in the developer docs.
