MCP Integration

Connect AI assistants to SeggWat using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Overview

SeggWat includes a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants like Claude Desktop to interact directly with your feedback and rating data. This integration allows AI tools to:

  • Query feedback: List, search, and retrieve feedback items
  • Manage feedback: Create, update, and archive feedback
  • Access ratings: View and analyze helpfulness ratings
  • Automate workflows: Process feedback with AI-powered analysis
  • Generate insights: Analyze feedback trends and patterns

The MCP server is hosted at the /mcp endpoint and requires API key authentication.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have:

  1. A SeggWat account with at least one project
  2. An Organization Access Token (API key) - see API Integration
  3. An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cline, or other MCP clients)

Setting Up Claude Desktop

1. Get Your API Token

1

Navigate to Settings

Log in to your SeggWat Dashboard and click Settings in the sidebar.

2

Generate Token

Go to the API Tokens tab and click Create New Token. Add a descriptive label like "Claude Desktop MCP".

3

Copy Token

Copy the token immediately - it will only be shown once! You'll use this in the next step.

2. Configure Claude Desktop

Add SeggWat to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

json
{
      "mcpServers": {
        "seggwat": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://seggwat.com/mcp",
          "headers": {
            "Authorization": "Bearer oat_your_api_token_here"
          }
        }
      }
    }

3. Restart Claude Desktop

After saving the configuration, restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server.

4. Verify Connection

In Claude Desktop, try asking:

"List my SeggWat projects"

Claude should now be able to access your SeggWat data through the MCP server.

Usage Examples

Here are some common tasks you can perform with Claude Desktop connected to SeggWat:

Analyze Recent Feedback

"Show me the latest 10 feedback items from my main project and summarize the key themes"

Claude will:

  1. List your projects
  2. Fetch recent feedback
  3. Analyze and summarize the content

Find Bug Reports

"Find all bug-type feedback from the last week that hasn't been addressed yet"

Claude will:

  1. Filter feedback by type="Bug" and status="New"
  2. Present the results
  3. Optionally help you prioritize them

Monitor Page Helpfulness

"What's the helpfulness score for the /docs/getting-started page?"

Claude will:

  1. Fetch rating statistics for that path
  2. Calculate the helpfulness percentage
  3. Show trends if available

Bulk Update Status

"Mark all feedback from yesterday as 'In Progress'"

Claude will:

  1. List feedback from the specified timeframe
  2. Update each item's status
  3. Confirm the changes

Export for Analysis

"Create a markdown report of all high-priority feedback from this month"

Claude will:

  1. Fetch filtered feedback data
  2. Format it as a structured markdown report
  3. Include relevant metadata and statistics

Authentication Options

The MCP server supports two authentication methods:

json
{
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer oat_your_api_token_here"
  }
}

API Key Header

json
{
  "headers": {
    "X-API-Key": "oat_your_api_token_here"
  }
}

Both methods are equivalent - use whichever fits your client's configuration style.

Security Best Practices

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

Problem: Claude Desktop can't connect to SeggWat MCP server

1

Verify URL

Ensure the URL is exactly https://seggwat.com/mcp (no trailing slash)

2

Check API Token

Verify your API token is valid in the SeggWat dashboard under Settings → API Tokens

3

Test Manually

Test the connection with curl:

bash
curl -X POST https://seggwat.com/mcp \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer oat_your_token" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{}}'

Review Logs

Check Claude Desktop logs for error messages: - macOS: ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log - Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\logs\mcp*.log

Permission Errors

Problem: "Access denied" or 403 errors

The API token might not have access to the requested projects. Ensure:

  • The token belongs to the same organization as the projects
  • The token hasn't been revoked
  • Your account has appropriate permissions

Rate Limiting

Problem: "Too many requests" errors

The MCP endpoint uses the same rate limits as the REST API:

  • 20 requests per minute for feedback endpoints
  • If you hit limits, Claude will need to slow down its requests

Advanced Configuration

Custom Headers

Add custom headers for tracking or debugging:

json
{
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer oat_your_token",
    "X-Client-Name": "Claude-Desktop",
    "X-Client-Version": "1.0.0"
  }
}

Using with Other MCP Clients

While this guide focuses on Claude Desktop, the SeggWat MCP server works with any MCP-compatible client:

Custom MCP Clients

For building custom MCP clients, see the Model Context Protocol specification.

The SeggWat MCP server implements:

  • HTTP transport with streaming support
  • Standard MCP protocol (tools, resources, prompts)
  • Bearer token and X-API-Key authentication

Performance Considerations

For optimal performance:

  • Use pagination (page and limit parameters)
  • Apply filters to narrow results
  • Cache project IDs locally in your workflows
