Read GoFormz templates, forms, groups and data sources; create and update forms and rows. For teams that collect field and office paperwork in GoFormz, such as inspections, work orders and delivery receipts. Hosted by usefulapi — connect from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"goformz": {
"url": "https://goformz.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"goformz": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://goformz.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
}No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other MCP clients (Windsurf, Cline, Zed and more): add the URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser. Do not add an Authorization header: see Before you connect.
The AI lists the forms of one template by status and last update, and opens a form to show every field value.
goformz_list_templates goformz_list_template_forms goformz_get_form
The AI creates a draft form from a template, pre-fills the fields you give it and assigns it to a user or group.
Changes data · goformz_list_users goformz_create_form
The AI changes the name or selected field values of a form. Only the fields you name change, and the status stays as it was.
Changes data · goformz_get_form goformz_update_form
The AI starts the PDF export of a form, waits for the job to finish and returns the temporary download link.
Changes data · goformz_export_form_pdf goformz_get_queue_item goformz_get_file
The AI reads a data source and its rows, then adds a row or replaces one (every column is sent), so dropdowns in your templates show current values.
Changes data · goformz_get_datasource goformz_list_datasource_rows goformz_create_datasource_row goformz_update_datasource_row
The AI sets a completed form back to draft so it can be edited, or marks a draft complete. Completing can start the template's workflows and webhooks.
Changes data · goformz_get_form goformz_set_form_status

The login page asks for your GoFormz Client ID and GoFormz Client Secret.
In the GoFormz web app open Settings, then API Access. Copy the Client ID and the Client Secret (the secret is shown once; use Regenerate if you lost it). API access depends on your GoFormz plan and has a daily call quota; ask your GoFormz account manager if the API Access page is missing. They are used only to call the GoFormz API on your behalf; they are never shown to anyone.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your GoFormz Client ID and GoFormz Client Secret. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Turn on the GoFormz connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
| Tool | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
goformz_list_templates | read | List templates List the form templates of the account (id, name). Use a template id to list its forms or to create a form. GET /v2/templates. |
goformz_get_template | read | Get a template Get one template by id. GET /v2/templates/{id}. |
goformz_list_forms | read | List forms List forms (filled-in instances of templates) with name, status (draft or complete), last update date and assignment. Field values are NOT included: call goformz_get_form for those. Filter by name prefix, status or last-updated date. GET /v2/formz. |
goformz_list_template_forms | read | List forms of a template List the forms created from one template (name, status, last update date). Field values are not included. GET /v2/templates/{templateId}/formz. |
goformz_get_form | read | Get a form Get one form with all its field values (text, numbers, dates, checkboxes, table rows, signature/image references), status, assignment and template version. GET /v2/formz/{id}. |
goformz_list_groups | read | List groups List user groups (forms can be assigned to a group). GET /v2/groups. |
goformz_get_group | read | Get a group Get one group by id. GET /v2/groups/{id}. |
goformz_list_users | read | List users List the account's users (id, username, first and last name). A user id is needed to assign a new form. GET /v2/users. |
goformz_get_user | read | Get a user Get one user by id. GET /v2/users/{id}. |
goformz_list_datasources | read | List data sources List data sources (lookup tables that feed dropdown and database fields in templates). GET /v2/datasources. |
goformz_get_datasource | read | Get a data source Get one data source: its name, columns and indexed columns. GET /v2/datasources/{id}. |
goformz_list_datasource_rows | read | List data source rows List the rows of a data source. Each row has an id, a keyColumn (the lookup key) and a value (a JSON-encoded array of the column values). GET /v2/datasources/{dataSourceId}/rows. |
goformz_get_datasource_row | read | Get a data source row Get one data source row by id. GET /v2/datasources/{dataSourceId}/rows/{rowId}. |
goformz_list_webhooks | read | List webhooks List the webhooks that call a URL when a form of a template is completed (event form.complete). Read-only. GET /v2/webhooks. |
goformz_get_queue_item | read | Get an async job status Check a queued job, for example the PDF export started by goformz_export_form_pdf. Returns status (and progressIndicator); when it is Completed, redirectUrl points at the result (a /v2/files/{id} URL: pass that id to goformz_get_file). GET /v2/queue/{id}. |
goformz_get_file | read | Get a file Get a file summary: type, created date and a temporary download `link` (it expires; see linkExpiration). Use it for an exported PDF or a form image/signature. The file itself is not downloaded here. GET /v2/files/{id}. |
goformz_get_pdf_export | read | Get a PDF export Get the metadata of a PDF export of a form, including the temporary download `link` once the PDF is ready. GET /v2/formz/{formId}/exports/{exportId}. |
goformz_export_form_pdf | write | Export a form to PDF WRITE: start a PDF export of a form (the form is not changed; GoFormz creates a PDF file). The reply gives the queue_id of the job: poll goformz_get_queue_item until Completed, then read the file with goformz_get_file using the id in redirectUrl. POST /v2/formz/{formId}/exports. |
goformz_create_form | write | Create a form WRITE: create a new draft form from a template, optionally pre-filled and assigned to a user or group (assignment is only possible at creation). Field keys are the template's field names (or ids) and the values are field objects such as {"text": "Acme"}; see goformz_get_form on an existing form of the template for each field's shape. Each call creates another form. POST /v2/formz. |
goformz_update_form | write | Update a form WRITE: change a form's name and/or field values (partial update: only the fields given change; a null value clears a field). Does NOT change the status and does not trigger workflows; to re-run completion workflows use goformz_set_form_status draft, update, then complete. PATCH /v2/formz/{id}. |
goformz_set_form_status | write | Complete or re-open a form WRITE: mark a form complete (this can trigger the template's completion workflows and webhooks) or re-open it as a draft so it can be edited. POST /v2/formz/{id}/status. |
goformz_create_datasource_row | write | Add a data source row WRITE: add a row to a data source. key_column is the lookup key; values are the column values in the data source's column order (see goformz_get_datasource). Each call adds another row. POST /v2/datasources/{dataSourceId}/rows. |
goformz_update_datasource_row | write | Update a data source row WRITE: replace a data source row's key and values (the whole row is replaced; send every column). PATCH /v2/datasources/{dataSourceId}/rows/{rowId}. |
goformz_usage_status | Usage status (free-tier meter) Report the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. | |
goformz_request_feature | Request a missing feature Tell usefulapi that the user needs something the GoFormz tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. | |
goformz_upgrade | Upgrade to Pro (unlimited*) Get Pro: unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 a month) on GoFormz (the free tier caps monthly usage). Plans: "monthly" — $9/month; "yearly" — $90/year (2 months free). Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. *A fair use limit applies. For heavy use (near Pro's limit): "plus" or "plus_yearly" — Pro+, $39/month or $390/year, unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 100,000 a month); an existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place (needs confirm: true; the price difference for the rest of the period is charged at once). Otherwise returns a short link to open in your browser (it opens Stripe Checkout); after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. | |
goformz_cancel_subscription | Cancel the Pro subscription Cancel the caller's GoFormz Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run goformz_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter. |
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper account | $9/mo · $90/yr | Unlimited* |
*Pro fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month on this server. For more, write to [email protected].
Pro covers this GoFormz server only. Subscribe with goformz_upgrade (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). Cancel any time with goformz_cancel_subscription: Pro continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and running goformz_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].
Find completed forms for a template. Create and assign a draft form. Correct a form's field values. Export a finished form to PDF. Keep dropdown lookup tables up to date. Reopen or complete a form. See what you can do for the details.
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by GoFormz. The server calls the GoFormz API with your own GoFormz access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
No. Do not use this server with protected health information (PHI). We do not sign HIPAA Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). See Terms, Health data.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your GoFormz Client ID and GoFormz Client Secret. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your GoFormz Client ID and GoFormz Client Secret. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the GoFormz API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in GoFormz.
Yes, if you approve it. 6 of the 23 GoFormz tools can create or change data. The other 17 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with unlimited tool calls (fair use limit: 10,000 tool calls a month), for this GoFormz server only. Cancel any time: Pro then runs to the end of the paid period. Run goformz_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run goformz_upgrade: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. To cancel, run goformz_cancel_subscription. Pro continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with goformz_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
