How do I update an attribute across my whole research panel?
Ask an AI tool connected to Great Question to find the candidates that match your criteria and are missing the attribute, and to show you the list first. Once you confirm, it sets that one attribute to the value you give and nothing else, then reports how many it changed and any it couldn't. Watch it the first time you run it.
- Who runs it
- Research ops, during a panel clean-up.
- Where you sign off · You approve first
- Yes, on the list, before anything is written. “Show me the list first” is doing real work in that prompt. Keep it.
- Schedule it · By hand
- No. Run it as a clean-up, and watch it the first time.
How to run it in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Copilot
The prompt is the same in every tool. What changes is where you connect Great Question and where you paste it.
Run it in Claude
- 1
Connect Great Question to Claude
In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it Great Question, paste https://greatquestion.co/api/mcp/v1, then Save and Connect and sign in with your Great Question account. Restart Claude so the tools load.
- 2
Paste the prompt
Start a new chat and paste the prompt. Claude asks before it uses each Great Question tool; allow the read tools, and read anything it proposes to write before you allow it.
Run it in ChatGPT
- 1
Connect Great Question to ChatGPT
In the ChatGPT or Codex desktop app, go to Settings → Plugins → MCPs → Add server. Name it Great Question, choose Streamable HTTP, paste https://greatquestion.co/api/mcp/v1, save, then authenticate.
- 2
Paste the prompt
Open a new chat with the Great Question server switched on and paste the prompt. If ChatGPT answers without calling a tool, say “use the Great Question tools” and it will.
Run it in Cursor
- 1
Connect Great Question to Cursor
Open Cursor Settings (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + J) → MCP → New MCP Server, and add a server named great-question with the url https://greatquestion.co/api/mcp/v1 to mcp.json. Save, click Connect, and sign in.
- 2
Paste the prompt
Paste the prompt into the chat in Agent mode, which is the mode that can call MCP tools. Cursor asks before it runs each tool unless you have switched on auto-run.
Run it in Copilot
- 1
Connect Great Question to Copilot
In Copilot Studio, open your agent's Tools page → Add a tool → New tool → Model Context Protocol. Server name Great Question, server URL https://greatquestion.co/api/mcp/v1, OAuth for authentication, then add it to the agent.
- 2
Paste the prompt
Paste the prompt into the agent's chat. To run it the same way every time, put the prompt in the agent's instructions instead and share the agent with your team.
Your admin has to switch the MCP on in Great Question first. The MCP guide covers every tool, the security model and a team rollout.
The tools it calls
Named so you can see exactly what the agent touches before you let it near anything.

- update_candidate
What we never automate
Four rules sit under every workflow here, and they matter more than the workflows.
Nothing reaches a participant without a person
No workflow sends an invitation, an email or a reminder. The MCP can do those things. They are left out on purpose, because a scheduled job that contacts your customers is a different category of risk from one that reads a transcript.
Nothing launches a study without a person
An agent can build the screener and draft the messages. Someone still presses go.
Nothing reaches a stakeholder unchecked
The synthesis workflows hand you quotes with links attached so you can check them in one click. Use the click. A misattributed quote in a board deck costs more than the hour it saved.
Nothing sees more than the person who connected it
Permissions follow the individual, so an agent connected by a PM reaches exactly what that PM reaches. Your admin decides whether it is available at all.
Questions
Why show the list before it writes?
Because a filter that's slightly off changes the wrong people, and you only find out when a later study recruits from them. Reading the list is the cheapest check there is.
Can I undo a bulk update?
Keep the list of changed candidates from the report, and the same workflow can set the field back. There's no single undo button, which is another reason to confirm first.
How often should I clean up panel attributes?
Whenever a filter stops returning who you expect, and before any big recruitment push. The panel hygiene auditor skill finds what needs fixing first.
