Run your client intake with Claude Desktop

This Indy MCP Server runs client intake directly from your chat sidebar. You don't need to open a browser window to set up a new questionnaire. Your agent uses `create_form` to build a new questionnaire and `delete_form` to clean up old ones on the fly. You can ask your agent to pull up active questionnaires with `list_forms` or inspect a specific layout using `get_form`. Everything happens inside your local terminal execution environment or the claude.ai interface.

Track live webhooks in Claude Desktop

This Indy MCP Server manages your system integrations with direct webhook control tools. If you need to connect your intake pipeline to other systems, your agent calls `create_webhook` to register your endpoint. You can monitor active connections with `list_webhooks` or clean up dead endpoints using `delete_webhook`. Claude Desktop handles these requests locally, keeping your operational pipeline updated without manual API calls.

Pull submission records straight to your chat

This Indy MCP Server fetches your incoming freelance leads and client files directly into your workspace. When a prospect fills out your form, your agent calls `list_records` to show you the queue. If a specific lead catches your eye, the agent uses `get_record` to pull the exact details. You can also verify team access using `list_users` and `get_user` to see who is handling the account.
