Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Formdesk

Ask your AI what came in on a form, what someone answered, or to fix a typo in a submission. It can list forms and their entries, read and update entries, get an entry as a PDF, export all entries of a form and read uploaded files. It can also register and update visitors, the people who log in to fill in your forms.

Try asking

  • “Show me the latest entries on the event registration form.”

    The AI finds the form and lists its entries, with an ID for each one.

  • “What did entry 4812 answer on the dietary question?”

    It reads the entry with all submitted field values.

  • “Correct the email address in Peter's registration.”

    It updates the entry with the new value for that field.

What your AI can do

Forms and entries

List forms and their entries, filter by status, read an entry's answers, add new entries and update existing ones.

Exports, PDFs and files

Export a form's entries, get one entry as a PDF and list or download the files uploaded to entries.

Visitors and users

List, register and update visitors who log in to fill in forms, see their entries and list your account's users.

  • “Send me a PDF of that application, without the unanswered questions.”

    It gets a PDF of the entry with unanswered questions hidden.

  • “Export all entries of the customer survey.”

    It exports the form's entries so you can work with them outside Formdesk.

  • “Which files were uploaded with this job application?”

    It lists the files attached to the entry and can download their content.

Questions

What can the AI do in Formdesk?

The AI can list forms, entries, files, visitors and users, read an entry with all its answers and download files. It can add and update entries, delete an entry, get an entry as a PDF, export a form's entries and register or update visitors.

Does the AI see my Formdesk credentials?

No. Your Formdesk credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are 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 by only reading forms and entries. Deleting an entry is permanent and cannot be undone, so it can require your approval before it runs, as can updating entries. 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 Formdesk account. Formdesk counts API calls against your Formdesk credits, which is between you and Formdesk.

Does the AI use Formdesk credits?

Yes. Formdesk charges 1 credit for each API call, and every tool call the AI makes is an API call. You get 100 free credits and can buy more from Formdesk, so keep an eye on your balance if the AI reads many entries.
