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.
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 `revisions: 'original'` so form change history is preserved. NOT for: creating a draft revision of an existing form. When the user says "create/save a draft", "draft <change>", call form_update with `formId` and `draft: true` instead.
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.
List forms from the Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory with optional filtering and pagination.
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>`.
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 `form_update` with a `note` like `Revert to v<vid>`.
Update an existing form in the Form.io project mapped to the user's current working directory. IMPORTANT: Before calling this tool, first use form_get to fetch the current form definition, then use the formio-schema skill to understand the schema so that you can apply the requested modifications (add, remove, or modify fields and settings), and finally call this tool with the complete updated form JSON. `draft`, `publish`, and `revert` are mutually exclusive — pass at most one. If `revisions` in the response differs from the stored value, the per-form revisions-mode gate prompted the USER and they chose.
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.
Report which Form.io project the given working directory resolves to, which deployment hosts it, and which layer supplied each — the preflight to run before the first tool call that reads from or writes to a deployment. Answers from inside this server, using the same resolver every other tool uses, so what it reports is what the next call targets. There is no need to run any shell command to ask this. Branch on `status`. "ok" means both URLs resolved and you may proceed. "not-configured" means nothing is mapped for this directory: relay the message, ask the user for the single value it names, record it with project_set, and call this again. "base-url-unresolved" means the project IS recorded and only its deployment is missing — ask for the Base URL alone and do NOT re-ask for the Project URL. Reads only. It resolves and reports; project_set is what records a choice.
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.
Set the active Form.io project for the given working directory by recording its URL in ~/.formio/projects.json You MUST call this tool whenever the user asks to set, change, or switch the active Form.io project — do not merely acknowledge the request in text. Persisting the choice requires the tool call. The chosen URL is persisted to ~/.formio/projects.json keyed by the cwd argument when provided (or the MCP server process cwd otherwise). Pass the `cwd` argument whenever you know the user's current working directory — the server process cwd is fixed at spawn and may not match where the user actually is. Every Form.io tool resolves its project on each call, so a mapping written here needs no restart. It takes effect only where the mapping is the record that WINS, though: under a committed formio.json the mapping is the fallback if that file goes away, and this call reports the pair that actually resolves rather than the one it recorded. Read `ok` and `projectUrl` on the result rather than assuming the write governs. You normally pass only projectUrl. The base URL — which builds the portal-login URL and keys the cached token — is derived from it — https://api.form.io for a project on a form.io host, and the parent path for a project addressed as a sub-directory — so there is nothing to supply. Pass baseUrl ONLY when the server reports that it cannot be determined, which happens for a project URL that carries no path on a customer domain: there the deployment is a sibling sub-domain and nothing in the project URL names it. Do not ask the user for a base URL before the server says it needs one. This tool writes the machine-local mapping, which is keyed by absolute path and therefore does not survive a clone. To record the target with the code instead — versioned, visible in a diff, and shared with everyone who clones the repository — write a committed formio.json yourself, in the application's own folder: a JSON object holding {"projectUrl": "..."}, plus "baseUrl" only when it cannot be derived. This server reads that file and never writes it. Resolution is by scope, narrowest first, and precedence runs: a committed formio.json, then the working-directory mapping, then FORMIO_PROJECT_URL in the environment, which is the weakest of the three. So a mapping written here DOES override an environment value, and a committed file overrides both.
