Backforms MCP Server (backforms-mcp)

npm version License: MIT Model Context Protocol Edge Ready

Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Backforms. Connect serverless forms, anti-spam shields, and lead telemetry directly to Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, and Claude Desktop.

⚡ The Zero-Click Advantage

Instead of leaving your IDE, opening a browser, manually provisioning forms, and copying IDs:

Your AI coding agent executes the complete lifecycle in a single chat prompt:

"Create a Contact Us form in Next.js with honeypot spam protection and connect it to Backforms"

The agent automatically calls create_form, receives the live action URL (https://app.backforms.com/f/[uuid]), and injects ready-to-run HTML or Next.js code directly into your project.

🚀 Quick Setup

1. Get Your API Key

  1. Sign in to your dashboard: Backforms Dashboard → API Keys & MCP.

  2. Click Create API Key and copy your secret personal access token (bf_live_sec_...).

2. Configure Your IDE

Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json or Settings → Features → MCP)

Add to your project's .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "backforms": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "backforms-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BACKFORMS_API_KEY": "bf_live_sec_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "backforms": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "backforms-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BACKFORMS_API_KEY": "bf_live_sec_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json)

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "backforms": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "backforms-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BACKFORMS_API_KEY": "bf_live_sec_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }

🔒 Security & Privacy Architecture

  • Stateless & Serverless: Runs locally via standard I/O (stdio). Zero long-lived streaming overhead.

  • SHA-256 Authentication: Personal Access Tokens are verified with secure hash comparisons.

  • No Sensitive Credential Storage: Tokens and database credentials are never logged or stored in plain text.

  • Strict CORS & Domain Origin Locks: Perimeter origin restrictions protect against unauthorized cross-site form posting.

    TDQS

    A3.5/5.0

    Scored across 9 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Most tools target distinct resources and actions (create/list/update/delete form, get submissions, get details, test submission, workspace usage). Minor overlap exists between update_form_settings and setup_webhook (both tweak a form's configuration), and between get_form_details and get_form_submissions, but descriptions clearly separate config from data and add a slight risk of misselection.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All nine tools use a consistent snake_case verb_noun pattern (create_form, list_forms, get_form_submissions, update_form_settings, delete_form, get_form_details, setup_webhook, send_test_submission, check_workspace_usage). The convention is predictable and readable throughout.

    Tool Count5/5

    Nine tools is well-scoped for a serverless form backend, covering the create/read/update/delete lifecycle plus submissions, webhooks, testing, and usage. Each tool earns its place with no obvious redundancy.

    Completeness4/5

    Full form CRUD, submissions retrieval, webhook/email setup, test submission, and usage checking are covered, giving solid lifecycle support. The main gap is submission-level management (e.g., fetching or deleting an individual submission by ID/export), which agents may want but can partly work around.
