Source

Manage qualitative research context across sessions using knowledge graph based MCP Server

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

The Qualitative Researcher MCP Server is a tool designed for managing qualitative research contexts using a knowledge graph. It enables researchers to organize and analyze their data effectively across multiple sessions.

To use the server, researchers can start a new session, load existing contexts, and manage their research entities through various commands such as creating, deleting, and retrieving information from the knowledge graph.

  • Persistent research context management - Thematic analysis and coding framework - Participant and data source organization - Memo writing for analytical insights - Chronological data analysis and code co-occurrence analysis
  1. Managing qualitative research projects and tracking analysis progress.
  2. Organizing interviews and observations for thematic analysis.
  3. Documenting methodological decisions and insights throughout the research process.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Qualitative Researcher MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-qualitativeresearch-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.
