Connect Claude & ChatGPT to FormCan

Ask your AI what came in through a FormCan form this week, or have it send a client a prefilled invitation. It can read submissions and their history, create PDF, CSV and attachment links, list drafts and form fields, and create a new form from a plain description. You find answers in your forms without clicking through each entry.

Questions

What can the AI do in FormCan?

It can search and read forms, form fields, submissions, draft submissions, submission history, invitations and your account details. It can create links to a submission's PDF, CSV, attachments and edit page, create forms from a description, create prefilled invitations, submit new entries and delete submissions.

Does the AI see my FormCan API token?

No. Your FormCan token is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Deleting a submission is permanent, and submitting an entry creates a real submission that may trigger the form's notifications. Both can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own FormCan account.

How does the AI fill in the right fields?

FormCan identifies fields by IDs such as fid3. Before it pre-fills an invitation or submits an entry, the AI lists the form's fields to match each ID with its label and type.
