Formio MCP Overview

The formio-mcp MCP server connects AI coding agents to Form.io Enterprise Server for managing forms, resources, actions, roles, and projects. It exposes Form.io operations as MCP tools, including form creation and listing and project import workflows. Use it when an agent needs to build or maintain Form.io-backed applications instead of handling those platform operations manually. Project configuration is resolved per working directory, with support for committed configuration and local project records.

Primary Use Cases for Formio MCP:
  • Create Form.io forms from an agent
  • List and manage project forms
  • Configure roles and actions
  • Import Form.io projects
