Forms

What the forms MCP server does

The forms MCP server gives MCP clients access to Canadian contractor paperwork and related trade tax calculations. Its catalog covers statutory worksheets and site paperwork for Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Canada-wide use. Categories include workplace incidents, site safety, vehicles, finance, and provincial materials.

Forms are preparation worksheets and on-site records. They are not filed with a ministry or regulator by the service. Each form can include its fields, a citation to the relevant source, and a free link for filling and printing. The service also exposes pricing information for the optional Form Maker Pass, which provides clean prints and autofill.

How it works

The hosted endpoint is https://mcp.bluecraneworks.ca/mcp. It uses MCP Streamable HTTP with JSON-RPC 2.0 and is stateless. No authentication or API key is required. MCP clients can connect directly to the endpoint and discover the available tools.

The tax tools provide planning estimates rather than tax advice. They cover 2026 income tax, CPP, and take-home calculations for sole-proprietor trades across 12 jurisdictions, excluding Quebec. Another tool calculates the hourly billing rate needed to reach a target take-home amount. The HST comparison is specific to Ontario contractors and compares the CRA Quick Method with regular HST, including a break-even result.

Setup and configuration

Connect a client using the hosted Streamable HTTP URL. In Claude, add it as a custom connector using the endpoint above. Other MCP clients need to support Streamable HTTP and can point directly to the same URL.

Clients that only launch local processes can use the repository’s Docker bridge. Build the image with docker build -t bluecrane-forms-mcp ., then run it interactively with docker run -i --rm bluecrane-forms-mcp. That bridge forwards standard input and output to the hosted service; it does not create a separate local copy of the form or tax data.

Tools and capabilities

The forms MCP server includes these capabilities:

• Search by keyword, form number, or aliases such as FLHA, form 1.2, hot work, and tailgate.
• Retrieve detailed form information, citations, fields, and free print links.
• Map a plain-language situation to likely forms.
• Browse available form categories.
• Check Form Maker Pass pricing.
• Estimate contractor tax, CPP, and take-home by province or jurisdiction.
• Calculate a required hourly billing rate from a target take-home amount.
• Compare Ontario HST calculation methods.

Limitations and notes

Citations are maintained at the level verified against the source regulation, and the accompanying guidance is not legal advice. Tax outputs include a dated-source disclaimer and should be treated as planning estimates. The service always returns the free form link, while the optional Form Maker Pass is a separate offering.
