How do I install Formpaste?

Copy the http config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Formpaste need an API key?

The publisher lists these environment variables: FORMPASTE_TOKEN.

What transport does Formpaste use?

Formpaste is reached over HTTP.

When was Formpaste last checked?

Last checked 2026-10-23. Create and wire up contact forms from your coding agent. Forms, snippets, and submissions.

Credentials from the publisher

FORMPASTE_TOKEN — Formpaste API token starting with fpat_, minted in the dashboard under Settings -> API & MCP. Use a setup-scoped token unless the agent needs to read submission content.

The Claude button above opens Claude with the name and URL filled in. You still confirm it there.

Tool	What it does

formpaste-mcp

Create and wire up contact forms from your coding agent. Six tools for forms, snippets, and submissions.

What this is

This package is a thin wrapper that launches mcp-remote pointed at the hosted Formpaste MCP server (https://api.formpaste.com/mcp, streamable-http transport). The equivalent manual mcp-remote config works identically; this package exists mainly so agents and clients can discover and install Formpaste's MCP server by name, not because it does anything the manual config cannot.

Requirements

Node.js 18 or later
A Formpaste account
An API token from Settings -> API & MCP in the Formpaste dashboard

Install

Each client below is configured to talk to the hosted MCP endpoint at https://api.formpaste.com/mcp. Replace fpat_YOUR_TOKEN with a token minted from Settings -> API & MCP.

Claude Code

claude mcp add formpaste --transport http https://api.formpaste.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer fpat_YOUR_TOKEN"

Codex

# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.formpaste]
command = "npx"
args = ["mcp-remote", "https://api.formpaste.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer fpat_YOUR_TOKEN"]

Cursor

// .cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "formpaste": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://api.formpaste.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer fpat_YOUR_TOKEN"] }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

// claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "formpaste": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://api.formpaste.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer fpat_YOUR_TOKEN"] }
  }
}

VS Code

// .vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "formpaste": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://api.formpaste.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization: Bearer fpat_YOUR_TOKEN"] }
  }
}

Any MCP client, via this package

FORMPASTE_TOKEN=fpat_YOUR_TOKEN npx formpaste-mcp

formpaste-mcp reads FORMPASTE_TOKEN from the environment (or a --token flag) and starts mcp-remote against the hosted endpoint for you.

The six tools

Tool	Purpose	Scope
`create_form`	Create a form, return its access key and a wired snippet	setup
`get_snippet`	Return a copy-paste snippet for html/react/nextjs/astro/vue/svelte	setup
`list_forms`	List all forms with ids, names, access keys, inbox/spam counts	setup
`get_form`	Read one form's config to verify it is wired correctly	setup
`send_test_submission`	Store a test submission to prove a form is live	setup
`list_submissions`	List submissions, optionally including message bodies	full

Token scopes

Formpaste API tokens have two scopes:

full can do everything, including reading submission content via list_submissions.
setup can do everything except list_submissions, so it never reads third-party submission content.

Use a setup-scoped token for agent use. It covers form creation, snippets, and verifying that a form is wired correctly, without granting access to the data your forms collect.

Worked example

See examples/wire-a-form.md for a full walkthrough: create a form, get a snippet, paste it into a page, send a test submission, and confirm the form is wired correctly.
