Query Form Schemas Inside Claude Desktop

The `get_form_questions` tool pulls the exact field layout and question types from any form in your account. Your agent reads this structure to map fields or write custom validation rules right in your chat window. You don't need to open a browser tab to check field IDs anymore. Claude Desktop parses the JSON layout directly, matching form questions to database columns in seconds.

Track Form Responses and Submission Details

The `get_submission_details` tool fetches the complete payload of any single form response with a single chat prompt. This MCP Server lets you analyze customer answers, check uploaded file links, and extract specific text fields instantly. If you need to review a batch of entries, the `list_submissions_for_form` tool fetches the entire history for a target form. Claude Desktop runs these queries locally, letting you filter and summarize thousands of responses without manual exports.

Monitor API Usage and Account History

The `get_api_usage` tool checks your current API call balance and subscription limits directly from your workspace. This MCP setup keeps you ahead of rate limits before running heavy data-gathering tasks. When debugging team access, the `list_account_history` tool displays recent system events. You'll see exactly who changed a form or downloaded submissions, keeping your workspace secure.
