Getting set up

Connect an AI tool to echoUX

Connect the AI tool you already use so that it answers from your echoUX findings, and says so when there is no finding on the question. About five minutes.

Before you start

You need:

  • an AI tool that can connect to a remote MCP server. An MCP server is an address an AI tool connects to so that it can read from another product, in this case echoUX;
  • at least one topic in your echoUX account. With no topic there is nothing for the tool to read, and the connection cannot be finished.

Add the server in your AI tool

  1. In your AI tool, open its settings for connectors, integrations or MCP servers. The name of this setting differs by tool.

  2. Add a server with the address https://mcp.echoux.ai/mcp.

  3. If the tool asks how to sign in, select OAuth, which means signing in through your browser. This connection does not use an API key.

Allow the tool to read echoUX

  1. The tool opens echoUX in your browser. If you are not signed in, the sign-in page opens and says the link will return you to this connection. Enter your email, then open the link in the email you receive.

  2. A page opens whose heading names your tool, for example Connect Claude to echoUX.

NoteThe tool can only read echoUX. It cannot change anything there, and it cannot read feedback that no finding quotes, your source and destination settings, or your people. Each finding reaches it in the same form as a delivery to Slack or Linear: the sections, every quote with who said it and where it was said, and the scores with their reasons.

  1. Under Topics it may read, select each topic the tool may read. Nothing is selected until you select it, and the button below stays inactive until you select one topic. A topic that is not collecting is listed with (not collecting) after its name and can still be selected.

NoteTo change the topics a tool reads, or to remove the tool, open Preferences, under AI tools. A topic's page lists every tool that reads that topic, and is where you stop one of them reading it.

  1. Select the button that carries the tool's name, for example Connect Claude. Your browser returns to the tool. To stop instead, select Cancel.

Check that it worked

  1. Back in the tool, ask it to list your echoUX topics. The answer names the topics you selected, and nothing else.

Example

Ask in plain words. For example:

List my echoUX topics.

Let the tool check claims

A connected tool reads findings. It can also hand echoUX one claim at a time, a roadmap line or a sentence in a brief, and get one of four answers. AI claim checks are off until you switch them on.

  1. Open Preferences, under Account in the nav, then under AI tools find the tool's row and select Change what it may read and do.

  2. Under the heading that names your tool, for example What Claude may do, switch on Check claims, Track assumptions, or both, then select Save changes. The tool's row now names whichever of the two you switched on, followed by its topics.

  3. Back in the tool, ask it to check a claim against one of your topics.

NoteEach answer is one of four: supported means verified findings back the claim as stated; not fully supported means they back part of it, and the answer names which part; contradicted means a verified finding says otherwise; nothing verified means no finding bears on the claim, which is an absence, not a judgement of the claim. Every answer except the last names the findings it rests on and quotes them word for word. Your account has a number of AI claim checks a month, stated under the switch; a tool that asks for more is told when they reset and where to add a pack of checks.
Example

Ask in plain words, one claim at a time. For example:

Check this against my echoUX topic on bookings: travellers who have paid are left unsure whether their stay is confirmed.

Let the tool track assumptions

A connected tool can also stake an assumption: one statement about a topic, tracked once you switch on Track assumptions in the step above. Each time that topic reads new feedback, the assumption is examined again, and your account is told if the answer changes.

  1. Back in the tool, ask it to track an assumption on one of your topics.

NoteAn assumption reaches one of the same four answers as a checked claim, described above. The answer itself does not appear on any echoUX page: it reaches the tool that asks, and the message sent when the answer changes. The topic's own page lists what is tracked on it, and is where you stop tracking one. The number of assumptions your account can track is on the Plan page, under Assumption allowance.
Example

Ask in plain words, naming one topic. For example:

Track this assumption on my echoUX topic on bookings: travellers who have paid are left unsure whether their stay is confirmed.

Connecting an AI tool is complete when

  • the tool lists the topics you selected, and nothing else;
  • on Preferences, under AI tools, the tool is listed with those topics;
  • if you switched on Check claims, the tool answers a claim with one of the four words and the findings behind it;
  • if you switched on Track assumptions, the tool confirms the assumption is tracked when you ask it to track one.

What happens next

Every admin on the account is told when a tool is connected, and again when one is removed, by email or by the private Slack channel they chose in Preferences. When a tracked assumption's answer changes, a message reaches the people on that topic and whoever staked the assumption, carrying the statement and what it now reads. Every answer except the last names the findings it rests on and quotes them word for word.
