Formpaste MCP server

formpaste-mcp

Create and wire up contact forms from your coding agent. Six tools for forms, snippets, and submissions.

What this is

This package is a thin wrapper that launches mcp-remote pointed at the hosted Formpaste MCP server (https://api.formpaste.com/mcp, streamable-http transport). The equivalent manual mcp-remote config works identically; this package exists mainly so agents and clients can discover and install Formpaste's MCP server by name, not because it does anything the manual config cannot.

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or later
• A Formpaste account
• An API token from Settings -> API & MCP in the Formpaste dashboard

Install

Each client below is configured to talk to the hosted MCP endpoint at https://api.formpaste.com/mcp. Replace fpatYOURTOKEN with a token minted from Settings -> API & MCP.

Any MCP client, via this package

FORMPASTE_TOKEN=fpat_YOUR_TOKEN npx formpaste-mcp

formpaste-mcp reads FORMPASTE_TOKEN from the environment (or a --token flag) and starts mcp-remote against the hosted endpoint for you.

The six tools

Token scopes

Formpaste API tokens have two scopes:

• full can do everything, including reading submission content via list_submissions.
• setup can do everything except list_submissions, so it never reads third-party submission content.

Use a setup-scoped token for agent use. It covers form creation, snippets, and verifying that a form is wired correctly, without granting access to the data your forms collect.

Worked example

See examples/wire-a-form.md for a full walkthrough: create a form, get a snippet, paste it into a page, send a test submission, and confirm the form is wired correctly.
