Formio MCP
@formio/ai is what brings Form.io into your agentic coding environment. It provides a series of tools that enable any developer to perform a number of complex actions against the Form.io Enterprise Server using their favorite Agentic Coding toolsets. This turns the Form.io Enterprise Server into a Composable Backend for Agentically Coded Applications.
People who work with claude plugin, formio and forms and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
