What can I ask?
Turn on the Wufoo connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
- How many entries has my contact form received so far?
- Show the latest 10 entries on my event signup form with readable field names.
- How many signups came in on my newsletter form this month?
- What comments has my team left on entries of my order form?
What you can do with Wufoo in Claude and ChatGPT
For teams who collect form submissions with Wufoo.
Count a form's entries, all or filtered
Counts the entries of a form, or only those matching filters, and lists forms with the number of entries received today.
Read the latest entries with readable field names
Reads a form's entries with each field shown by its title, such as Email, instead of a Field number. Filters like the Entry Manager are possible.
Read the comments the team left on entries
Lists the comments team members left on a form's entries, for all entries or one, and counts them.
Review reports, their entries and widgets
Lists reports, reads the entries behind one and its chart and big-number widgets, and counts the entries.
Submit an entry to a form
Reads the form's fields, then submits a new entry as if someone filled in the form. It is stored and triggers the form's notifications and integrations.
Changes dataAdd or remove a webhook on a form
Adds a webhook so Wufoo posts each new entry to a URL you give, or removes a webhook with its hash.
Changes dataHow do I connect Wufoo?
Before you connect
The login page asks for your Wufoo account subdomain and Wufoo API key.
The subdomain is the first part of your Wufoo address (fishbowl in fishbowl.wufoo.com). Find the API key in Wufoo → Form Manager → Account → API Information (or a form's More → API Information). Your credentials are used only to call the API on your behalf and to derive a private account id; they are never shown to anyone.

Claude Code
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Cursor
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"wufoo": {
"url": "https://wufoo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} VS Code
Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"wufoo": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://wufoo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Codex
Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Other clients
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Wufoo account subdomain and Wufoo API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this Wufoo server only. Ask your AI to run wufoo_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with wufoo_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with wufoo_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to support@usefulapi.io.

Read only · 15
- List forms
wufoo_list_formsList the forms the API key's user can access: name, description, hash (permanent identifier), URL title, public/private, start/end dates, entry limit, created/updated timestamps. Set includeTodayCount to add EntryCountToday. - Get one form
wufoo_get_formFetch one form's settings by hash or URL title — name, description, confirmation message, notification emails, public flag, language, start/end dates, entry limit and links. - Get form fields
wufoo_get_form_fieldsThe field structure of a form: each field's Title, Type, API ID (Field###, used for filters, sorting and submissions), required flag, default value and page. Checkbox, name, address and likert fields list SubFields with their own IDs; multiple-choice, dropdown and likert fields list Choices. Admin-only fields are not returned. - List form entries
wufoo_list_form_entriesList a form's submitted entries (as in the Entry Manager), keyed by field API ID (Field105…) plus EntryId, DateCreated, CreatedBy, DateUpdated, UpdatedBy. Filter like the Entry Manager (Filter1=Field105 Contains foo, combined with match AND/OR), sort by any field ID, and page with pageStart/pageSize (max 100). For entries keyed by human field titles use wufoo_get_labeled_entries. - Get entries keyed by field title
wufoo_get_labeled_entriesFetch a page of a form's entries with every Field### key replaced by the field's human title — e.g. "Email", or "Title — Label" for sub-fields of checkbox, name, address and likert fields ("Name — First", "Address — City"). EntryId, DateCreated and the other default/system keys stay as they are. Empty values are dropped unless includeEmpty is set. Also returns fieldIds (title → API ID) for building filters or submissions. Takes the same paging, sorting and filter arguments as wufoo_list_form_entries. - Count form entries
wufoo_count_form_entriesCount a form's entries — all of them, or only those matching filters (same filter format as wufoo_list_form_entries). Useful to plan paging. Returns {EntryCount}. - List entry comments
wufoo_list_form_commentsList the comments team members left on a form's entries in the Entry Manager: CommentId, EntryId, Text, CommentedBy, DateCreated. Optionally only for one entry. Page with pageStart/pageSize (max 100). - Count entry comments
wufoo_count_form_commentsCount all comments on a form's entries. Returns {Count}. - List reports
wufoo_list_reportsList the reports the API key's user can access: name, description, hash, URL title, public flag and created/updated timestamps. - Get one report
wufoo_get_reportFetch one report by hash or URL title. - Get report fields
wufoo_get_report_fieldsThe field structure of the form a report is built on (same shape as wufoo_get_form_fields). - List report entries
wufoo_list_report_entriesThe entries that make up a report — what its datagrid widget or an export would show, keyed by field API ID. Wufoo documents no paging or filter parameters for this endpoint. - Count report entries
wufoo_count_report_entriesCount the entries in a report. Returns {EntryCount}. - List report widgets
wufoo_list_report_widgetsThe chart, graph (pie/bar/line) and big-number widgets on a report: Name, Type, TypeDesc, Size and Hash (the hash embeds the widget). Text and datagrid widgets are not returned. - List account users
wufoo_list_usersList the account's users: name, email, timezone, company, owner/admin flags and create-forms/reports/themes permissions. Each user's API key is redacted from the result.
Changes data · 3
- Submit a form entry
wufoo_submit_entryWRITE: submits a new entry to a form, exactly as if someone filled it in — it is stored and triggers the form's notifications, webhooks and integrations. Keys are field API IDs from wufoo_get_form_fields (Field1, Field105…); fields with sub-fields (name, address, checkbox) take one key per sub-field ID. Dates must be YYYYMMDD. Field validation and form limits still apply: a rejected submission returns each field error. Limited by Wufoo to 50 submissions per user per 5 minutes. - Add a webhook
wufoo_add_webhookWRITE: adds a webhook to a form, so Wufoo POSTs every new entry to the given URL. Idempotent per URL: calling again with the same URL updates its handshake key / metadata setting instead of adding a duplicate. Forms allow at most 10 integrations. Returns WebHookPutResult.Hash — keep it, it is needed to delete the webhook. - Delete a webhook
wufoo_delete_webhookWRITE: removes a webhook from a form; the receiving URL stops getting new entries immediately. Needs the webhook hash returned by wufoo_add_webhook (Wufoo has no endpoint to list webhooks).
Your usefulapi plan · 4
- Usage status (free-tier meter)
wufoo_usage_statusReport the caller's current usage: the plan, calls used this month, the limit of the plan (the free monthly cap or the Pro fair use limit), remaining, and whether the limit is reached. Read-only; does not count against the meter. - Request a missing feature
wufoo_request_featureTell usefulapi that the user needs something the Wufoo tools cannot do yet (a missing tool, field or filter). Call it only when the user asks for something none of the tools can do, and tell the user that you send the request. Do not call it for errors or for normal requests. Do not include personal data, credentials or customer records. Stored with the product name and the client type (for example Claude or Cursor), without the user's account. At most 5 requests per day. Does not count against the meter. - Upgrade to Pro or Pro+
wufoo_upgradeGet a paid plan for Wufoo (the free tier caps monthly usage). Pro: 10,000 tool calls a month, for normal use — plan "monthly" ($9/month) or "yearly" ($90/year, 2 months free). Pro+: 100,000 tool calls a month, for automations and heavy use — plan "plus" ($39/month) or "plus_yearly" ($390/year). Without a plan it returns both Pro and Pro+, each with a payment link, for the user to choose; with a plan, one link. An existing Pro subscription changes to Pro+ in place: call without confirm first, as the reply states the exact charge for this account (the price difference for the rest of the period, or in a free Pro trial the full Pro+ price, as the trial ends); then call with confirm: true. Cancel any time: the plan then runs to the end of the paid period, so it also suits a one-time job. A link opens Stripe Checkout in the browser; after payment the account upgrades automatically. Does not count against the meter. - Cancel the Pro subscription
wufoo_cancel_subscriptionCancel the caller's Wufoo Pro subscription at the end of the paid period (no refund for the current period; Pro continues until then, then the free tier applies). Requires confirm: true. Run wufoo_upgrade later to undo the cancel before the period ends. Does not count against the meter.
FAQ
What can I do with Wufoo in Claude or ChatGPT?
Count a form's entries, all or filtered. Read the latest entries with readable field names. Read the comments the team left on entries. Review reports, their entries and widgets. Submit an entry to a form. Add or remove a webhook on a form. See what you can do for the details.
Is this an official Wufoo product?
No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Wufoo. The server calls the Wufoo API with your own Wufoo access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Can I connect Wufoo to Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
What do I need to connect?
The login page asks for your Wufoo account subdomain and Wufoo API key. See Before you connect for where to find them.
Do I put my Wufoo key or an Authorization header in the client config?
No. Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config. The server signs you in with OAuth: the login page asks for your Wufoo account subdomain and Wufoo API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
How do you keep my Wufoo credentials?
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the Wufoo API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in Wufoo.
Can the AI change my Wufoo data?
Yes, if you approve it. 3 of the 18 Wufoo tools can create or change data. The other 15 are marked read-only. Most MCP clients ask you to approve a tool call before it runs.
What does it cost?
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this Wufoo server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run wufoo_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
How do I subscribe or cancel?
Ask the AI to run wufoo_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly: it returns a Stripe Checkout link. If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run wufoo_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
What if a Wufoo tool that I need is missing?
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with wufoo_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Which AI clients can I use?
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
