What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • gocanvas_get_me

    The user who owns the connected OAuth application: id, login, company id and name, default department and role. Use it to learn the default department id.

  • gocanvas_list_forms

    Forms (mobile form definitions) the connected user can see: id, name, status, version, department. Paged, 100 per page. Use gocanvas_get_form for a form's fields (entries).

  • gocanvas_get_form

    One form definition, including its screens and entries (field ids and labels). Use format 'flat' for the simplest list of fields (what you need to read submissions or create a dispatch), 'nested' (default) for the full structure, 'metadata' or 'minimal' for less.

  • gocanvas_list_form_reports

    The report (PDF) definitions attached to a form: id, name, format, whether emailed by default. Paged.

  • gocanvas_list_submissions

    Completed forms (submissions): id, form, number, created time, department, user, status. At least one of form_id, user_id or user_email is required (user_id and user_email cannot be combined). Default status is completed. Dates filter created_at. Paged, 100 per page. Use gocanvas

  • gocanvas_get_submission

    One submission with all its responses (entry id, label, type, value). Accepts the numeric submission id or the client GUID.

  • gocanvas_list_submission_revisions

    The revision history of a submission (who changed it and when). Paged.

  • gocanvas_list_users

    Users of the company: id, name, email, enabled. Paged, 100 per page.

  • gocanvas_get_user

    One user by id: name, login, contact data, default department and role.

  • gocanvas_list_departments

    Departments of the company: id, name, description. The pseudo department -1 'All' is included.

  • gocanvas_list_department_users

    The users in one department with their department role.

  • gocanvas_list_dispatches

    Dispatches (jobs sent to field workers): id, form, assignee, status, schedule. At least one of user_id, department_id or form_id is required. Dates are ISO-8601. Paged.

  • gocanvas_get_dispatch

    One dispatch by id with its pre-filled responses, schedule and status.

  • gocanvas_list_customers

    Customers (contacts of the Project Management view): individuals or businesses, optionally tied to a site. Paged.

  • gocanvas_list_projects

    Projects of the Project Management view. Paged.

  • gocanvas_list_sites

    Sites (job locations) of the Project Management view. Paged.

  • gocanvas_list_reference_data

    Reference data (lookup tables used by forms): id, name, columns, version. Without department_id the user's default department is used.

  • gocanvas_get_reference_data

    One reference data set with its rows.

  • gocanvas_list_groups

    User groups: id, name, and the forms and users assigned. Paged.

  • gocanvas_list_workflows

    Workflows (handoff chains between users) the connected user takes part in, with their handoff states and the count of tasks available to claim. Paged.

  • gocanvas_list_locations

    GPS location events of field users (needs the tracker feature). start_date and end_date are required and may span at most 7 days. Omit user_id for all users of the company. Paged.

  • gocanvas_create_dispatch

    WRITE: creates a dispatch, a job that appears on the assignee's mobile device (immediate_dispatch is sent at once, with a push notification when send_notification is true; scheduled_dispatch needs scheduled_at and scheduled_end). Responses pre-fill the assignee's form (entry ids

  • gocanvas_mark_dispatch_received

    WRITE: acknowledges a dispatch (status becomes received). Only works for a dispatch in the assigned state that is assigned to the connected user; repeating it is refused by GoCanvas.

Common questions

Is GoCanvas MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.14.3) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, SSTracker free youth training

GoCanvas MCP by usefulapi

Read GoCanvas forms, submissions, users, dispatches and reference data; create dispatches.

Live endpoint: https://gocanvas.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/gocanvas

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://gocanvas.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http gocanvas https://gocanvas.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "gocanvas": { "url": "https://gocanvas.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your GoCanvas credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/gocanvas/

On first connect you'll paste the client ID and client secret of a GoCanvas OAuth application (create one as an administrator in your GoCanvas profile → API Settings; the secret is shown only once). The account needs API v3 access (Pro/Max plan or the API add-on).
