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.

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

  • GETcheck_submission_exists

    Reports whether the form already holds a submission matching a field value.

  • POSTcreate_submission

    Submits answers to a form and returns the stored submission.

  • DELETEdelete_submission

    Deletes a single submission from a form.

  • GETexport_submissions

    Exports a form's submissions to a file for downstream processing.

  • GETget_submission

    Returns a single submission with its answers under data.

  • GETlist_submissions

    Returns the submissions of a form as a bare JSON array.

  • PUTupdate_submission

    Replaces a submission's answers and returns the stored result.

Form, 5 operations

  • POSTcreate_form

    Creates a form or resource and returns it with the identifier it was given.

  • DELETEdelete_form

    Deletes a form together with the submissions attached to it.

  • GETget_form

Role, 1 operation

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.

How to connect Form.io

  1. Create your workspace

    Sign up free. Nothing to install.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
