Formchime

formchime

formchime is a small local bridge to Formgong's hosted MCP server, which manages contact forms for a website: create a form, paste the ready-made embed snippet into a page, read the submissions that arrive, and wire webhooks so each new submission is also posted to your own endpoint as signed JSON.

The bridge keeps no workspace of its own. It serves the upstream server's tool list locally, exactly as captured from the live endpoint, and forwards each tool call upstream, returning the result untouched. Form and webhook changes act on the caller's own Formgong workspace; the listing and submission tools only read.

Tools

• list_forms — every form owned by the account: id, name, public access key (fk_…) and submissions this month. The access key goes in the form's hidden access_key field. No arguments.
• create_form — create a new form. Required: name (shown in the dashboard and email subject, 1-80 chars). Optional: notify_email (default true). Returns the form id and public access key.
• get_form_snippet — ready-to-paste form code for one form, with its access key, hidden _lang field, botcheck honeypot and Turnstile widget when enabled. Required: form_id. Optional: framework (html, react or next, default html) and lang.
• list_recent_submissions — the most recent submissions of one form: id, time and submitted fields only, no IP or browser data. Required: form_id. Optional: limit (1-50, default 10) and include_spam (default false).
• list_webhooks — the webhook URLs of one form: id, url and created time. Required: form_id.
• create_webhook — add a public HTTPS URL to one form; every new submission is then POSTed there as JSON with an X-Signature header (HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body, keyed with the form's signing key). Required: form_id and url. Returns the webhook id and the signing key.
• delete_webhook — remove one webhook from a form; submissions stop being sent to its URL. Required: form_id and webhook_id.
• list_website_templates — Formgong's free, MIT-licensed website templates, each with a contact or quote form already wired to Formgong. Optional: topic (trades, consulting, portfolio, construction, health, food or shops).

Configuration

• FORMGONG_MCP_URL (optional) — override the upstream endpoint. Defaults to https://formgong.com/mcp. (The override hook is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction.)
• FORMGONG_API_KEY (optional) — when set, every upstream request carries an Authorization: Bearer header, for clients using a personal API token instead of OAuth. When it is not set, no auth header is sent; the original surface was captured keyless. (This forwarding is also a labelled reconstruction.)

Forwarding mechanics

On the first tool call the client opens a streamable HTTP session with the upstream: a JSON-RPC initialize request (protocolVersion 2025-03-26, clientInfo name formchime), then a notifications/initialized notification, then the tools/call request carrying the caller's arguments unchanged. When the upstream answers initialize with an Mcp-Session-Id header, that value rides on every later request of the session, which is reused for the life of the process. Replies may arrive as plain JSON or as server-sent events; both are read.

Successful upstream results pass through verbatim, including any isError flag the upstream sets. Failures — a JSON-RPC error, a non-2xx status, an unreadable response, or a request that cannot be completed — come back as an isError result whose text starts with formchime error: (this rendering is this rebuild's own labelled reconstruction).

CLI

Each tool is also a subcommand taking one JSON argument string (omit it for tools that take none):

npx @reneturcios/formchime list_forms

npx @reneturcios/formchime create_form '{"name":"Contact – acme.com"}' npx @reneturcios/formchime get_form_snippet '{"form_id":"f_123","framework":"react"}' npx @reneturcios/formchime list_recent_submissions '{"form_id":"f_123","limit":5}' npx @reneturcios/formchime create_webhook '{"form_id":"f_123","url":"https://example.com/hook"}' npx @reneturcios/formchime --version

Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 on an isError result, 2 on a usage error.

MCP server

npx -y @reneturcios/formchime mcp

MCP client config:

{

"mcpServers": { "formchime": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/formchime", "mcp"] } } }

Docker

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/formchime

docker run --rm ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/formchime --version

The container's default command is mcp, so the first form is a stdio MCP server; any other arguments reach the CLI normally.

Development

npm install

npm run build npm test npm run dev

The test suite runs entirely against a stubbed JSON-RPC upstream — no live network calls.
