Read mobile forms, entries, users and tasks; create confirmed draft or sent tasks for field workers. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the Forms On Fire / Appenate connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For field teams with authorized Forms On Fire or Appenate API access.
Search entries for a selected form or complete date range.
Search assigned tasks and inspect a selected task by its id.
After explicit confirmation, create a task with a recipient, form and due time. It stays a draft unless sending is requested.
Changes dataFind a data source and read a bounded page of its lookup rows.
List users and groups using the connected key’s permissions.
The login page asks for your Account platform, CompanyId and IntegrationKey.
Select the platform that hosts your account, then copy CompanyId and an API key from Organization Setup. Prefer a restricted user-level key with only needed permissions. Your key is encrypted for authorized calls; requested forms, entries, users and task data reaches your chosen AI client/LLM provider. Revoke the key in the vendor dashboard to stop access; disconnect UsefulAPI to end this connection. Creating a task requires explicit confirmation; drafts are the default, and send_immediate=true notifies the worker. No operation is automatically replayed: check the platform after an uncertain result. Vendor API eligibility, quotas and subscriptions remain separate. Billing follows platform plus company, normally including key rotation.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"forms-on-fire": {
"url": "https://forms-on-fire.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"forms-on-fire": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://forms-on-fire.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Account platform, CompanyId and IntegrationKey. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Freeper platform and organization | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper platform and organization | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per platform and organization | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Forms On Fire / Appenate server only. Ask your AI to run formsonfire_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with formsonfire_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with formsonfire_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Forms On Fire / Appenate. The server calls the Forms On Fire / Appenate API with your own Forms On Fire / Appenate access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Account platform, CompanyId and IntegrationKey. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Account platform, CompanyId and IntegrationKey. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Forms On Fire / Appenate API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Forms On Fire / Appenate.
Yes, if you approve it. 1 of the 11 Forms On Fire / Appenate tools can create or change data. The other 10 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Forms On Fire / Appenate server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run formsonfire_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run formsonfire_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run formsonfire_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with formsonfire_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
