Formio MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• action_createwrite action

  Create a new action on a form. Call action_type_get first to discover the required settings schema for the action type.

• action_deletewrite action

  Delete an action from a form. The action stops running on submissions immediately and is not recoverable — call action_get first if the settings may be needed again.

• action_get

  Get a single action by ID from a form, including its handler, method, condition, and type-specific settings. Call action_list first to find the action ID.

• action_list

  List the actions configured on a form — the server-side handlers that run when a submission is saved, such as save-to-resource, email, login, and role assignment.

• action_type_get

  Get action type info and settings form schema. Call this before action_create to discover the required settings for the action type.

• action_types_list

  List available action types for a form. Returns the catalog of action types the server supports.

• action_updatewrite action

  Update an existing action on a form. This is a full replacement of the action document — include every field you want to keep, and call action_get first if you do not already have it.

• form_createwrite action

  Create a new form in the Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory. IMPORTANT: Before calling this tool, use the formio-schema skill to construct a properly structured Form.io form JSON definition based on the user's requirements. The skill documents all component types, validation options, layout patterns, and conditional logic available in Form.io. New forms default to `revi

• form_get

  Fetch a single form definition from the Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory, by form ID or path. Pass `draft: true` to fetch the form's current in-flight draft instead of the published form.

• form_list

  List forms from the Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory with optional filtering and pagination.

• form_revision_get

  Fetch a single immutable form revision from the Form.io project mapped to the current working directory. `version` accepts either the revision `_vid` (e.g. "3") or the revision document `_id` (24-character hex). To revert the live form to this revision, pass its `form` body to `form_update` with a `note` like `Revert to v<vid>`.

• form_revisions_list

  List immutable published revision summaries for a single form in the Form.io project mapped to the current working directory. Returns compact revision metadata (_vid, _id, modified, user, _vnote) for the form identified by `formIdOrPath`. To inspect a specific revision body, call `form_revision_get` with the desired `_vid`. To revert the live form to a prior revision, pass that revision body to `f

• form_updatewrite action
• hello

  Say hello — a connectivity check that confirms the server is running and reachable. Needs no Form.io project or credentials, so it is the first thing to try when other tools fail.

• project_export

  Export the complete template (roles, resources, forms, actions) of the Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory as a portable JSON document. Use this to snapshot a project before importing changes.

• project_get
• project_import

  Import a template JSON into the existing Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory, merging roles, resources, forms, and actions in one call. Use the formio-resource-planner skill to construct the template before calling this tool. WARNING: import merges into the existing project — use project_export first to snapshot.

• project_set
• role_createwrite action

  Create a new role in the Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory.

• role_list

  List all roles defined in the Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory.

• role_updatewrite action

  Update an existing role in the Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory. This is a full replacement — include all fields you want to preserve.
