Integration

Form.io integration

A Form.io project's REST API: list, read, create, update and delete forms and resources, list, read, create, update and delete their submissions, export submissions as CSV or JSON, and list the project roles. The project host is part of the connection, so the same integration serves a hosted project and a self-hosted deployment.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in Form.io.Built from the 13 Form.io tools below, on the connection you add once.

Common Form.io use cases

pulling form responses into a workflow
re-reading a submission after updating it
correcting a submission after an external check
resolving the role ids that appear on a submission
submitting data into a Form.io form from a workflow
adding a component to an existing form from a workflow
removing a submission a workflow has already processed
reading the component keys before building a submission
handing every response of a form to a step that consumes a file
tearing down a form a workflow created for a one-off collection

What you can do with Form.io

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Submission, 7 operations

check_submission_existsCheck submission existsGETReports whether the form already holds a submission matching a field value.
create_submissionCreate submissionPOSTSubmits answers to a form and returns the stored submission.
delete_submissionDelete submissionDELETEDeletes a single submission from a form.
export_submissionsExport submissionsGETExports a form's submissions to a file for downstream processing.
get_submissionGet submissionGETReturns a single submission with its answers under data.
list_submissionsList submissionsGETReturns the submissions of a form as a bare JSON array.
update_submissionUpdate submissionPUTReplaces a submission's answers and returns the stored result.

Form, 5 operations

create_formCreate formPOSTCreates a form or resource and returns it with the identifier it was given.
delete_formDelete formDELETEDeletes a form together with the submissions attached to it.
get_formGet formGETReturns a single form, including the components that define its fields.
list_formsList formsGETReturns the forms and resources of a project as a bare JSON array.

Use Form.io from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Form.io in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Form.io operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Form.io

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Form.io once
Add your Form.io connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
