What Prolific (BYOK) is for

Prolific (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Prolific data through the Prolific API with a key you supply (Prolific API token). Read-only: 12 tools (get_me, list_workspaces, get_workspace_balance, list_projects, list_studies, get_study, count_study_submissions, list_batches, get_batch_status, get_dataset, list_collections, list_filter_sets). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.prolific.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Prolific. Prolific and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Which Prolific account is my token for?"
• "Which Prolific workspaces do I have?"
• "How much money is left in my Prolific workspace?"
• "Which projects are in my Prolific workspace?"
• "Which of my Prolific studies are active?"
• "Show Prolific study 64b2c3d4"

What it does

• get_me: Show the id of the Prolific account the token belongs to, to test that the token works.
• list_workspaces: List the workspaces you belong to with id, title, description and owner.
• get_workspace_balance: Show a workspace's funds: currency, total balance and the available balance after funds reserved for active studies (in cents or pence).
• list_projects: List the projects of a workspace with title, visibility type, description and owner.
• list_studies: List your studies with status, places taken, reward and cost in cents, and publish dates; filter by status.
• get_study: Get one study: names, status, duration, places, reward, project, labels, device needs and data collection method (completion codes are not returned).
• count_study_submissions: Count a study's submissions by status (active, approved, awaiting review, rejected, returned, timed out and total).
• list_batches: List the AI Task Builder batches of a workspace with status, task and instruction counts and creation time.
• get_batch_status: Get the processing status (UNINITIALISED, PROCESSING, READY or ERROR) of one AI Task Builder batch.
• get_dataset: Get one AI Task Builder dataset: name, datapoint count, schema version, status or import jobs and workspace.
• list_collections: List the AI Task Builder collections of a workspace with name and creation and modification times.
• list_filter_sets: List saved participant filter sets of a workspace with name, version, lock state and description.

BYOK key

You bring your own Prolific Prolific API token (https://app.prolific.com/). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.prolific.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

What it is not

Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Prolific. Prolific and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with. It is read-only: it never creates, changes, sends or deletes anything in your Prolific account.

Built for: Worldwide. Languages: English.

Prolific (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Prolific (BYOK) is. Prolific (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Prolific data: Read your Prolific human-data studies, submission counts, workspaces and balance, projects, filter sets and AI Task Builder batches with an API token. You bring your own Prolific Prolific API token; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Prolific call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.prolific.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Prolific rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What Prolific receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Prolific's own terms and privacy policy. Prolific acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Prolific gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Prolific data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Prolific (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Prolific at any time to end all access.

Children. Prolific (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Prolific's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
