Connect ChatGPT or Claude to IQRush when you want to explore project results in the assistant you already use. IQRush’s MCP connection gives the assistant access to supported tools and the project data your account is authorized to use. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. Here, it is the connection between your assistant and IQRush. You can ask ordinary questions about the measurements and request a report suited to your team.

Start here

In IQRush, open your account menu at the bottom left, choose Settings, then select Connect under MCP. The screen offers Claude Desktop and ChatGPT. Use the instructions and connection details shown in your own account.

ChatGPT

  1. Select ChatGPT on IQRush’s Connect screen and use Copy for the connection URL.
  2. In ChatGPT’s app settings, add a custom app named IQRush using that URL. The IQRush screen calls this Apps → Create App; the current ChatGPT flow may include developer-mode access, authentication, and a tool scan before Create.
  3. Complete the IQRush sign-in and connection approval shown by ChatGPT.
  4. In a chat, select or mention the IQRush app and ask, “List my IQRush projects.” Choose the project you want to explore.

Select ChatGPT, then copy the connection URL from your own IQRush account. This Dev screenshot illustrates the controls. Available setup options depend on your ChatGPT account and workspace permissions.

Claude Desktop

  1. Select Claude Desktop, then Mac or Windows, on IQRush’s Connect screen.
  2. Use Copy for the setup command. Follow the displayed instructions in Terminal on Mac or PowerShell on Windows.
  3. Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop.
  4. Open a chat and ask, “List my IQRush projects.” Follow the sign-in link when prompted, then select your project.

Choose your operating system and use the instructions in your own account. The screenshot shows the Mac route in Dev.

Assistant plans, administrator controls, and setup labels can change. If an option is missing, check your workspace permissions and the current ChatGPT MCP app guidance. Claude also supports remote custom connectors; see Claude’s connection guidance if your team uses that route.

Keep the context clear

Name the project and the completed run you want to use. Add the platform, topic, or audience profile when relevant. Your connected assistant does not automatically follow the page or filters you have open in IQRush. For example: “Use the latest completed Colorescience run, across all measured platforms. Explain our citation coverage for the mineral sun protection topic.” Ask the assistant to confirm the project and run date before a longer assessment. If you introduce a new audience, product, or market, first ask whether the existing measurement includes it.

Ask a useful question

These are the same starting questions as the Agent Q guide. Use the question and report gallery to explore more business perspectives.

Turn the answer into work

Specify the audience, question, and output you need. For example: “Create a channel visibility report for our commercial team. Show the cited retailers and distributors, supporting URLs, and three opportunities to investigate.” You can supply business context or research alongside the IQRush results. Ask the assistant to distinguish measured findings, outside research, and recommendations. Available file formats depend on the assistant you use. The connection described here supports reading and analyzing available IQRush data. For Write with Agent Q, Apply to content, and recommendation-specific work, use the corresponding IQRush guides. If a connected assistant needs a brief or recommendation it cannot retrieve, provide that material explicitly.

Check the evidence

Keep IQRush’s decision-grade checks in the report: rank stability and signal-to-noise for the relevant ranking, confidence intervals for estimates, and the change assessment for comparisons over time. Request the project, run dates, filters, supporting answers or URLs, and any gaps in the data. Compare unexpected values with the same selection in IQRush. An assistant’s interpretation should remain tied to the measured evidence and its uncertainty.

Continue the conversation

Follow up in the same ChatGPT or Claude conversation. When a follow-up needs fresh IQRush data, make sure the connection is enabled or selected; in ChatGPT, select or mention the app again for that request. When you start another chat, restate the project and measurement scope. ChatGPT, Claude, and Agent Q keep separate conversation histories. To carry a discussion between them, provide a short summary with the project, run, scope, and question you want to continue. In IQRush, Settings → MCP → Connected clients shows connection status. To end a client’s access, use its Client actions → Disconnect control and review the confirmation. Reconnecting requires signing in again. Tools lists the available IQRush capabilities. Next: Choose a question or report, work with Agent Q, or check your first results.
