<!-- Generated by SpecStory --> # Understanding Tally form URL structure (2025-06-18 18:03:22) _**User**_ A small bug in our form links that are generated. The following response from Claude should help clarify what the actual structure we should be receiving is: ``` Ah, thank you for the clarification! So the correct URL structure for Tally forms is: Draft form (editor): https://tally.so/forms/mR1JDK/edit Published form (public): https://tally.so/forms/mR1JDK That makes much more sense! The share URL I received from the API (https://tally.so/r/mR1JDK) appears to be incorrect or perhaps an outdated URL format. The actual working URLs follow the /forms/[formId] pattern, with /edit added for the editor view. This is really helpful feedback - I'll keep this in mind for future form creation. When providing URLs, I should use the proper https://tally.so/forms/[formId] structure rather than relying solely on what the share API returns, since that seems to be giving incorrect URLs. So for your test form, the correct URLs would be: Editor/Preview: https://tally.so/forms/mR1JDK/edit Public form: https://tally.so/forms/mR1JDK (once published) Thanks for helping me understand the proper Tally URL structure! ``` --- _**Assistant**_ --- <details> <summary>Grep search for "tally\.so/r/" • **5** files</summary> | File | Line | Match | |------|------|-------| |

Here's what I included: **Form Details:** - **Title:** Classic House Music Survey - **Description:** Share your passion for the golden era of house music and help us understand the community better! **Field Types Used:** - **Text field:** DJ name/alias (optional) - **Email field:** Email address (required) - **Dropdown select:** Classic house sub-genres (required) - **Checkboxes:** Legendary house music labels (multiple selection) - **Radio buttons:** Preferred music experience (single choice) - **Number field:** Size of music collection - **Textarea:** Long-form response about house music memories **Preview URL:** `https://tally.so/r/wdXDRN` The form is currently in DRAFT status, so you can preview and test it before publishing. When you're ready to go live, you can change the status to PUBLISHED. The form covers everything from Chicago House to Detroit Techno, and includes iconic labels like Trax Records and Strictly Rhythm - perfect for connecting with the house music community! ``` As you can see, even though Claude knows it is a DRAFT that i want to preview, it gives me the PUBLISHED url! And, looking at the response from our MCP server, we can see there's no fully constructed URL there: ``` { "isNameModifiedByUser": false, "numberOfSubmissions": 0, "id": "wdXDRN", "name": "Classic House Music Survey", "workspaceId": "w2j7BV", "organizationId": "nGeNaz", "status": "DRAFT", "hasDraftBlocks": true, "updatedAt": "2025-06-19T02:52:49.955Z", "createdAt": "2025-06-19T02:52:49.955Z", "index": 0, "isClosed": false } ``` --- _**Assistant**_ I see the issue! The Tally API response doesn't include a `url` field, so our form creation tool is falling back to constructing its own URL. But since the form is in DRAFT status and we want a preview URL, we should be returning the `/edit` version. Looking at the code, when the API doesn't return a URL, we construct a fallback URL in `form-creation-tool.ts`. Since this is a newly created form (which starts as DRAFT), we should indeed be returning the preview/edit URL. However, I notice that Claude is saying "Preview URL" but then showing the public `/r/` URL. This suggests that either: 1. Our form creation tool is returning the wrong URL type, or 2. Claude is interpreting the response incorrectly Let me check what's happening in the form creation flow: --- Read file: src/tools/form-creation-tool.ts --- Good! The form creation tool is correctly returning the `/edit` URL as a fallback. But looking at Claude's response, it's showing the `/r/` URL instead. This suggests that somewhere in our MCP tools, we might be calling the `share_form` tool to get a "public" URL instead of using the preview URL from form creation. Let me check if there are any other tools being called or if there's additional processing happening: --- <details> <summary>Grep search for "share_form" • **2** files</summary> | File | Line | Match | |------|------|-------| | `file:///Users/cryophobic/dev/projects/tally-mcp/src/worker.ts` | L223 | `name: 'share_form',` | | `file:///Users/cryophobic/dev/projects/tally-mcp/src/worker.ts` | L570 | `case 'share_form':` | | `file:///Users/cryophobic/dev/projects/tally-mcp/src/worker.ts` | L223 | `name: 'share_form',` | | `file:///Users/cryophobic/dev/projects/tally-mcp/src/worker.ts` | L570 | `case 'share_form':` | </details> --- Read file: src/worker.ts --- I see the issue! Looking at the `share_form` tool definition, the `shareType` enum only includes `['link', 'embed', 'popup']` but doesn't include `'preview'` or `'editor'`. When Claude asks for a "preview URL", it's probably calling `share_form` with `shareType: 'link'`, which falls into our "else" case and returns the `/r/` URL instead of the `/edit` URL. Let me update the tool definition to include preview/editor options: --- ```diff shareType: { type: 'string', - enum: ['link', 'embed', 'popup'], + enum: ['link', 'embed', 'popup', 'preview', 'editor'], description: 'Type of sharing method' }, ``` --- Now let me also check if we should update the description to be clearer about what each option does: --- ```diff type: 'string', enum: ['link', 'embed', 'popup', 'preview', 'editor'], - description: 'Type of sharing method' + description: 'Type of sharing method: link (public), embed (iframe), popup (modal), preview/editor (draft editing)' }, customization: { ``` --- Now let's deploy this update: --- ```bash npm run deploy:cloudflare ``` ``` ❯ npm run deploy:cloudflare > tally-mcp@1.0.0 deploy:cloudflare > wrangler deploy ⛅️ wrangler 4.20.0 (update available 4.20.3) ───────────────────────────────────────────── [custom build] Running: npm run build:worker [custom build] [custom build] > tally-mcp@1.0.0 build:worker [custom build] > tsc src/worker.ts --outDir dist --target ES2022 --module ES2022 --moduleResolution node --esModul eInterop true --allowSyntheticDefaultImports true --strict true --skipLibCheck true [custom build] [custom build] Total Upload: 84.48 KiB / gzip: 17.40 KiB Worker Startup Time: 20 ms Uploaded tally-mcp (2.29 sec) Deployed tally-mcp triggers (0.19 sec) https://tally-mcp.focuslab.workers.dev Current Version ID: 2cc9d41c-a696-4b1d-a879-af4823a7dac3 ╭─    ~/dev/projects/tally-mcp    develop !3 ······························ ✔  11s   22:57:47   ╰─ ``` --- Perfect! The worker has been deployed with the updated `share_form` tool definition. **What changed:** 1. **Expanded `shareType` enum** in the `share_form` tool to include: - `'link'` → public URL (`/r/`) - `'embed'` → embed code with iframe - `'popup'` → modal/popup version - `'preview'` → draft editing URL (`/forms/{id}/edit`) - `'editor'` → draft editing URL (`/forms/{id}/edit`) 2. **Updated description** to clarify what each option does **Current behavior:** - When Claude asks for a "preview URL" and calls `share_form` with `shareType: 'preview'` or `shareType: 'editor'`, it will get `https://tally.so/forms/{id}/edit` - When Claude asks for a "public URL" and calls `share_form` with `shareType: 'link'`, it will get `https://tally.so/r/{id}` - The `form_creation_tool` still returns the `/edit` URL as a fallback when the API doesn't provide a URL This should resolve the issue where Claude was getting the public URL when asking for a preview URL! --- _**User**_ Still not getting there. ``` I'll create a classic house music themed test form with diverse field types for you in Tally!Perfect! I've created your classic house music themed test form with a diverse blend of field types. The form includes: - **Text field** for DJ names/aliases - **Email field** for contact info - **Select dropdowns** for era preferences and favorite pioneers - **Checkboxes** for multiple venue selections - **Radio buttons** for preferred music experience - **Number field** for event attendance - **Textarea** for longer responses about memorable moments Now let me get the preview URL for you:Here's your preview URL: **https://tally.so/r/3jX7EY** The form is currently in DRAFT status, so you can test it out and make any adjustments before publishing it live. The form captures the essence of classic house music culture while demonstrating various field types - from simple text inputs to multi-select options and longer text responses. Feel free to preview it and let me know if you'd like any modifications! ``` You can see in the screenshot that the request includes "link". Is this a case for using one of the other MCP capabilities like prompts or resources to help nudge our LLM to figure out what to request? --- _**Assistant**_ You're absolutely right! The issue is that Claude is calling `share_form` with `shareType: "link"` when it should be using `shareType: "preview"` or `shareType: "editor"` for draft forms. This is a perfect use case for MCP prompts to guide Claude's behavior. Let's add a prompt that helps Claude understand when to use which shareType. --- Read file: src/worker.ts --- I can see that the `SERVER_CAPABILITIES` object is defined but empty. Let me add prompts to help guide Claude's behavior: --- ```diff logging: {} }; + + // Define prompts to guide LLM behavior + const PROMPTS = [ + { + name: 'tally_form_sharing_guide', + description: 'Guide for choosing the correct share type when sharing Tally forms', + arguments: [ + { + name: 'form_status', + description: 'The current status of the form (DRAFT or PUBLISHED)', + required: true + } + ] + } + ]; /** ``` ```diff capabilities: { tools: {}, + prompts: {}, logging: {} }, ``` ```diff }; + case 'prompts/list': + return { + jsonrpc: '2.0', + id: message.id, + result: { + prompts: PROMPTS + } + }; + + case 'prompts/get': + return handlePromptGet(message.params, message.id); + case 'tools/call': console.log('tools/call - passing env to handleToolCall'); ``` --- Now I need to implement the `handlePromptGet` function: --- ```diff } ]; + + /** + * Handle prompt get requests + */ + function handlePromptGet(params: any, messageId: string | number | undefined): MCPResponse { + const { name, arguments: args } = params; + + switch (name) { + case 'tally_form_sharing_guide': + const formStatus = args?.form_status || 'UNKNOWN'; + let guidance = ''; + + if (formStatus === 'DRAFT') { + guidance = ` + **For DRAFT forms, use these share types:** + + - **preview** or **editor** → Returns https://tally.so/forms/{id}/edit + - Use when you want to preview/test the form before publishing + - Allows editing and testing form functionality + - Perfect for form creators to review their work + + - **embed** → Returns iframe embed code with https://tally.so/embed/{id} + - Use when you want to embed the draft form for testing + + **Avoid using 'link' for DRAFT forms** - it returns the public URL which won't work until published. + `.trim(); + } else if (formStatus === 'PUBLISHED') { + guidance = ` + **For PUBLISHED forms, use these share types:** + + - **link** → Returns https://tally.so/r/{id} + - Use for the public form URL that respondents will use + - This is the main sharing URL for live forms + + - **embed** → Returns iframe embed code with https://tally.so/embed/{id} + - Use when embedding the form in websites + + - **preview** or **editor** → Returns https://tally.so/forms/{id}/edit + - Use when you want to edit the published form + `.trim(); + } else { + guidance = ` + **Choose share type based on form status:** + + - **DRAFT forms**: Use 'preview' or 'editor' for testing → /forms/{id}/edit + - **PUBLISHED forms**: Use 'link' for public sharing → /r/{id} + - **Any status**: Use 'embed' for iframe embedding → /embed/{id} + `.trim(); + } + + return { + jsonrpc: '2.0', + id: messageId, + result: { + description: `Guidance for sharing Tally forms with status: ${formStatus}`, + messages: [ + { + role: 'user', + content: { + type: 'text', + text: `Form status: ${formStatus}` + } + }, + { + role: 'assistant', + content: { + type: 'text', + text: guidance + } + } + ] + } + }; + + default: + return { + jsonrpc: '2.0', + id: messageId, + error: { + code: -32602, + message: 'Invalid params', + data: `Unknown prompt: ${name}` + } + }; + } + } /** ``` --- Now let's deploy this update: --- ```bash npm run deploy:cloudflare ``` ``` ❯ npm run deploy:cloudflare > tally-mcp@1.0.0 deploy:cloudflare > wrangler deploy ⛅️ wrangler 4.20.0 (update available 4.20.3) ───────────────────────────────────────────── [custom build] Running: npm run build:worker [custom build] [custom build] > tally-mcp@1.0.0 build:worker [custom build] > tsc src/worker.ts --outDir dist --target ES2022 --module ES2022 --moduleResolution node --esModul eInterop true --allowSyntheticDefaultImports true --strict true --skipLibCheck true [custom build] [custom build] Total Upload: 87.53 KiB / gzip: 18.14 KiB Worker Startup Time: 18 ms Uploaded tally-mcp (2.30 sec) Deployed tally-mcp triggers (0.19 sec) https://tally-mcp.focuslab.workers.dev Current Version ID: 20cf5a04-2955-40b7-8ab3-93ab33269d7f ╭─    ~/dev/projects/tally-mcp    develop !3 ······························· ✔  5s   23:08:11   ╰─ ``` --- Perfect!

Let me test the prompts get endpoint: --- ```bash curl -X POST https://tally-mcp.focuslab.workers.dev/mcp -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "prompts/get", "params": {"name": "tally_form_sharing_guide", "arguments": {"form_status": "DRAFT"}}}' ``` ``` {"error":"Authentication Required","message":"Authentication required.

The prompts are now available in the MCP server. **Summary of what we've implemented:** 1. **Added MCP Prompts Capability** to guide Claude's behavior when sharing Tally forms 2. **Created `tally_form_sharing_guide` prompt** that provides context-aware guidance based on form status 3. **Updated server capabilities** to include prompts support 4. **Implemented prompts/list and prompts/get handlers** **How this should help:** When Claude is working with Tally forms, it can now: 1. **Check the form status** (DRAFT vs PUBLISHED) from the form creation response 2. **Use the prompt** to get guidance on which `shareType` to use 3. **Make the correct choice**: - For DRAFT forms → use `shareType: "preview"` to get `/forms/{id}/edit` - For PUBLISHED forms → use `shareType: "link"` to get `/r/{id}` The prompt provides clear, contextual guidance that should help Claude understand: - **DRAFT forms** need `preview`/`editor` shareType for testing/editing URLs - **PUBLISHED forms** use `link` shareType for public sharing URLs - **Avoid using `link` for DRAFT forms** since they return public URLs that won't work until published This should resolve the issue where Claude was always using `shareType: "link"` regardless of form status. The prompts capability gives Claude the contextual information it needs to make the right choice based on the form's current state. --- _**User**_ That did it! Nice work! ``` I'll create a classic house music themed test form with a variety of field types for you!Perfect! I've created your classic house music themed test form. Now let me get the preview URL for you:Your classic house music survey form has been created! Here's your **preview URL**: https://tally.so/forms/mJbJgz/edit The form includes a diverse mix of field types: - **Text field** for DJ names/aliases - **Email field** for contact info - **Dropdown select** for city associations - **Radio buttons** for favorite era selection - **Checkboxes** for multiple sub-genre selections - **Number field** for vinyl record count - **Textarea** for longer responses about experiences - **Another dropdown** for favorite producers/DJs The form is currently in DRAFT status, so you can preview and edit it before publishing. When you're ready to make it live, you can publish it from the editor! ``` --- _**Assistant**_ ---
