Crowdhum - live audience polling
RemoteAbout Crowdhum - live audience polling
CrowdHum adds live audience polling to AI assistants, with poll creation from decks or calendars, QR-code voting, live results, and AI recaps. It combines Agent Skills with an MCP server for several clients and requires a CrowdHum Pro account.
Key features
- 01Create polls from decks or calendars
- 02Share polls through QR-code links
- 03View votes in real time
- 04Generate session recaps
- 05Support Claude and Microsoft 365 Copilot
Use cases
- 01Prepare live questions from a presentation
- 02Run a word-cloud poll during a meeting
- 03Review vote splits and summarize takeaways
- 04Plan follow-up polls from live results
MCP support
The plugin connects to the CrowdHum MCP server and uses OAuth to call tools for creating polls, managing sessions, retrieving results, and generating recaps. It also includes skills that can work with tools provided by the host agent.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMECrowdHum for your AI assistant
Run live audience polls without leaving the chat. Design polls from a deck or
your calendar, launch them with a scan-to-vote QR code, watch votes arrive in real
time, and get an AI recap. This is a portable
Agent Skills + MCP plugin backed by the
CrowdHum MCP server (https://mcp.crowdhum.com).
Works in Claude Code, Claude.ai (custom connector), the GitHub Copilot CLI, and any MCP client. The same package also targets Microsoft 365 Copilot / Cowork.
Requires a CrowdHum Pro account. The MCP server is Pro-gated and authenticates via OAuth on first use. No secrets live in this plugin.
What you can do
Ask your assistant in plain language:
- "Turn this deck into a 3-question poll set, and give me the QR link to share."
- "Run a word cloud for my standup: one word for how this sprint felt."
- "My room code is XKCD. How did people vote, and what's the takeaway?"
- "Given these live results, what should I poll next?"
- "Recap the session we just ran: the themes, the splits, and one line for the stage."

Several skills compose with the host agent's own tools (reading a PowerPoint, your calendar, drafting an email). They describe the capability needed, not a specific tool, so they stay portable across hosts and degrade gracefully (they ask for pasted content when a capability isn't available).
Install (Claude)
/plugin marketplace add topness-msft/crowdhum-plugin
/plugin install crowdhum@crowdhum-plugin
Then just ask, e.g. "run a word cloud for my standup", "read this deck and suggest 3 polls", or "given these results, what should I poll next?"
Use in Microsoft 365 Copilot / Cowork
The same skills + .mcp.json convert to an M365 app package: run the Microsoft
conversion script (Convert-ClaudePluginToMOS3.ps1,
https://aka.ms/copilot-cowork-plugin-conversion-script), or author a manifest.json
with an agentConnectors[] entry pointing at https://mcp.crowdhum.com, then package
with the M365 Agents Toolkit and upload.
The MCP tools authenticate with OAuth, so the connector needs an OAuth client
registration in your Microsoft tenant (a Teams Developer Portal "OAuth client
registration" whose reference ID goes in the manifest's authorization block).
Creating one requires tenant admin permission.
The CrowdHum MCP tools these skills use
create_poll, add_poll_to_session, get_room_links, get_poll_results,
get_session, get_session_recap, list_my_sessions, list_my_polls,
list_visualizations, invite_co_owner.
Visualization modes: word-cloud, column-drift, rising-bubbles, ranking, qa.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
