Connect AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT directly to your forms.app account so they can create forms, read submissions, pull statistics, and more, all from a conversation.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of copying data in and out of a chat window, an MCP-compatible assistant can call an application's API directly, using natural language to drive real actions.
forms.app runs an MCP server that exposes your forms, submissions, and statistics as a set of callable tools. Once connected, an assistant can look up a form, check how a survey is performing, or update a question, all without leaving the conversation.
The forms.app MCP server exposes the following tools:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
form_list | List the forms in your account |
form_search | Search your forms by title or other criteria |
form_get | Retrieve a single form's full structure |
form_create | Create a new form |
form_update | Update a form's structure or settings |
form_update_question | Update a specific question on a form |
form_describe_setting | Get details about a specific form setting |
form_set_active | Activate or deactivate a form |
field_describe_type | Get the schema for a specific field type |
answer_list | List submitted answers for a form |
answer_search | Search submitted answers |
answer_get | Retrieve a submitted answer |
statistics_get_form | Get overall statistics for a form |
statistics_get_question | Get statistics for a specific question |
statistics_get_dropoff | Get drop-off statistics for a form |
media_search | Search media uploaded to your account |
help_search | Search the forms.app help center |
user_profile | Retrieve your forms.app user profile |
Connect your assistant to:
https://api.forms.app/mcpThe forms.app MCP server uses OAuth. When you add the connector, your assistant redirects you to forms.app to sign in and authorize access, then handles token refresh automatically, so you don't need to manage an API key.

Connector setup screens change between app versions. If a step doesn't match what you see, look for Settings → Connectors (or Integrations) and an option to add a custom or remote MCP server.
Once connected, you can ask your assistant things like:
- "List my active forms."
- "Create a short customer feedback form with a rating question and a comments field."
- "How many responses has my 'Event registration' form received, and what's the drop-off rate?"
- "Search my forms for anything related to 'event registration'."
- "Show me the answers submitted to my 'Customer feedback' form this week."
- "Update the title of the second question on my 'Event registration' form."
- "Tell me how recall answer works on forms.app."
