📝 FormIO MCP Server

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for integrating with the FormIO API, enabling AI agents to interact with dynamic form creation, submission management, and user roles using natural language input.

The goal of this project is to expose FormIO's functionality through MCP-compatible tools that can be used seamlessly by large language models and agent frameworks.

🧠 What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a lightweight protocol designed to let AI agents interact with external tools and APIs in a structured and modular way. Think of it like USB for AI — this server acts as a "driver" for the FormIO platform.

With this MCP server, AI models can:

• 📋 Create and manage dynamic forms
• 📊 Submit and retrieve form data
• 👥 Handle user authentication and authorization
• 🔑 Manage role-based permissions and access control

🚀 How to Run

To use this MCP server, you'll need:

✅ Prerequisites

• Python 3.13+
• uv – a modern Python package manager
• A supported LLM (e.g., Claude)
• A FormIO account – sign up at form.io

Claude Desktop Configuration

        "--api-url",
        "YOUR_FORMIO_API_URL"
      ]
    }
  }
}
