# Fillout.io MCP Server
MCP Server for the Fillout.io API, enabling form management, response handling, and analytics.
## Token Setup
1. Get your Fillout.io API Key:
- Log in to your Fillout.io account
- Go to Account Settings → API & Webhooks
- Click "Create new API Key"
- Copy your new API key
2. API Key Information:
- Production keys start with `fo_live_`
- Test keys start with `fo_test_`
- Test keys only work with test forms
- API keys provide access to all resources in your account
3. Replace `your-fillout-api-key` in the configuration with your API key.
⚠️ Security Notes:
- Keep your API key secure and private
- Use test keys for development
- Store keys in environment variables
- Rotate keys periodically
- Never commit keys to version control
## Token Troubleshooting
### Common Error Messages
1. "Invalid API key provided" or "Authentication failed"
- **Cause**: API key is missing, malformed, or invalid
- **Solution**:
- Verify key starts with `fo_live_` or `fo_test_`
- Check for extra spaces or characters
- Ensure environment variable is set correctly
- Create a new key if necessary
2. "Test mode key used with live form"
- **Cause**: Using test key (`fo_test_`) with production form
- **Solution**:
- Use live key for production forms
- Create test form for development
- Switch to appropriate key type
3. "Rate limit exceeded"
- **Cause**: Too many API requests
- **Solution**:
- Implement request throttling
- Check usage in dashboard
- Optimize request patterns
### Validation Steps
1. Check API Key Format:
```bash
# Key should:
- Start with 'fo_live_' or 'fo_test_'
- Be approximately 50 characters
- Contain only letters, numbers, and underscores
```
2. Test API Key:
```bash
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key" \
https://api.fillout.com/v1/api/forms
```
