About Formsite MCP Server
Connect your Formsite account to any AI agent to automate your form results retrieval and data management through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Formsite is a professional form builder that enables organizations to create sophisticated forms and surveys. This MCP server allows you to list your forms, fetch real-time results, and manage webhooks directly through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Formsite tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 8 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Results Retrieval — List and fetch form submissions/results instantly, including detailed answers and timestamps.
- Form Oversight — Access and list all forms in your account to maintain full visibility of your active data collectors.
- Field Inspection — Retrieve the fields and items defined within your forms to understand the structure of your data.
- Webhook Automation — Create and manage webhooks to receive real-time notifications when new results are completed.
- Reporting Insights — List and retrieve reports defined for your forms to get high-level snapshots of your data.
- Multi-Server Support — Seamlessly connect to your specific Formsite server environment (e.g., fs18).
The Formsite MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Windsurf in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
