AskOne MCP¶

Local MCP server (stdio via npx, organization API token) - live audience Q&A and polling for talks, webinars, classes and meetings. The audience joins from a link or QR code on their phones with no account and no app, asks anonymously and upvotes; the MCP server lets an agent run the whole session and draft the FAQ afterwards.

Server type: Local (stdio via npx)
Auth: Organization API token (ASKONE_API_TOKEN)
Package: npx -y askone-mcp
Tools: Rooms, polls, question moderation, results, FAQ draft
Pricing: Free tier covers every feature - 1 open room, up to 100 participants; paid adds capacity and branding
Built by: AskOne
Registry: npm askone-mcp

Why This Matters for Operators¶

Every webinar, all-hands and training session ends with the same mess: questions scattered across chat, hands, and a moderator's notes. AskOne puts the audience into a structured room - anonymous questions, upvotes, ranked walls - and the MCP server lets an agent do the moderator's work: launch polls, approve or hide questions, mark them answered, close the room, then hand back the questions as a FAQ draft and the results as data.

The "who reads them first" control - nobody, a person, or the AI - can change mid-session, and all three modes are available on every plan. For operators running recurring sessions, the FAQ draft is the compounding asset: each session's questions become next session's onboarding material.

Installation¶

claude mcp add askone --transport stdio -- npx -y askone-mcp

Set ASKONE_API_TOKEN (an organization API token from your AskOne account) in the server environment.

Configuration¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "askone": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "askone-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ASKONE_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_ASKONE_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Business Relevance¶

Teams running webinars get structured audience Q&A and polls without a second operator babysitting the room.
Trainers and educators collect anonymous questions, then export the session as a FAQ draft.
Founders at demo days and AMAs rank questions by audience votes instead of moderating by hand.
Small teams get every feature free: one open room at a time, up to 100 participants, AI moderation included.

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ answers business questions from the connected stack; AskOne handles the other direction - what the audience asks. An operator can run a session where the audience's top questions come from real votes, then feed the FAQ draft into the same knowledge workflows the rest of the stack supports.

Limitations¶

One open room at a time on the free tier; free rooms cap at 100 participants.
Local stdio server - it runs on the machine of whoever hosts the session, not in the cloud.
Requires an AskOne organization API token.
New listing: no track record in this catalog yet.

FAQ¶

Is the audience side really free?¶

Yes. Audiences join with a link or QR code, no account and no app, and every feature - Q&A, polls, the projector, AI moderation - is on the free tier. Paid plans buy capacity and branding, not features.

Does the agent act on its own?¶

No. The agent calls the tools you allow; approve, hide and close actions are explicit calls, and the room state is readable at any point.

Can it produce a FAQ afterwards?¶

Yes. After the room closes, the agent reads the questions and results and drafts them as a FAQ document.
