Manage Forms and Records with the MCP Server

The `create_record` tool lets you build new records directly into a form instance. You don't need to leave your chat; just tell your agent what data needs logging, and it handles the creation. The `update_record` tool is equally useful. If initial data changes after approval, you can adjust existing entries instead of having to manually delete and re-enter everything.

Track Workflow Progress Instantly

Need to know where a request stands? Use `get_instance_timeline` to pull the complete history of any workflow. This shows who saw it, when they acted, and what steps were taken. Check on its status with `get_record_details`. This provides all the current data attached to a specific record, giving you full visibility into its lifecycle.

The MCP Server gives you tools like `list_forms` and `list_workflows`. You can ask your agent for an inventory of all available forms or workflows across the application. It also exposes user data via `list_users`, so you can confirm who has access before writing code that affects multiple people.
